An Author’s Relationship with Goodreads
I realized, while I was poking about cleaning up my blog recently, that I’ve never really talked about Goodreads, Gentle Reader. So shall I? It is a truth universally acknowledged that an author in want of good ratings does not look on Goodreads. Did you know that the very first rating that my very first […]

Defy or Defend Special Extras (Delightfully Deadly Series)
Dimity’s story, Gentle Reader, is here at last! Released May 3, 2020! I’m rather chuffed with it too, because Defy or Defend is particularly silly. There’s a vampire hive gone badly “to Goth” that needs tidying. Dimity plus one very tolerant (slightly twirly) knight are on the job. This one may, or may not, contain […]

I’m not going to sugar coat this, things are rough in publishing right now, as they are everywhere my darling Gentle Reader. Here is what is going on with print books that are traditionally published right now. However, Defy or Defend is NOT traditionally published, it’s self published (AKA POD or print on demand). So I’ve […]

My Biggest Gripes with Austen Movies (Miss Gail Recommends)
Generally speaking, Gentle Reader, when times are tough I watch Austen movies. I know, I know, but we all have our visual comfort food. I don’t like to be negative here on the blog, but I figure taking sublime umbrage in a Jane Austen movie adaptation ranks pretty low on the totem poll of putting […]
