Hate is a strong word. But so is love. I want to be clear that when I say I hate these movies, I don’t mean that I’m completely against them. Love is beautiful, after all. It’s universal. Something most people want and everyone can understand. But let me be clear. Even though I read romance […]
RECIPE FROM The Messy Baker: More Than 75 Delicious Recipes From a Real Kitchen by Charmian Christie, pg 127 (photocopy) VERDICT: Two days after making this and a day after trying it, I’m still not sure how I feel about it. This recipe is a lot of work. Many bowls and instruments need to be […]
As a romance writer and romance reader, I’ve read a lot of romance novels over the years. One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older is that I’ve become a lot less tolerant of certain tropes. When I was younger, plots and characters might have bothered me but I didn’t think too much of them. […]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge movie fan but every once and awhile I watch a trailer and think, “Huh. That looks good. I’d like to see that.” I even keep a list of these movies on my phone so I can remember the titles for later. So here, in no particular order, […]
