Like anything else, media can impact how we see ourselves, and I hope that some young reader might take away a positive idea of the importance of consent, not just in sex, but in all areas of their lives.
The Power of Consent
ARC Review – If the Broom Fits by Sarah Sutton
Did you know that Halloween Romance was a thing? Every year I am bombarded with Christmas Romance (not that I am complaining too much!), but I've not stumbled into a wide array of Halloween-themed ones. I am sure If the Broom Fits is not the first one of its kind, but it's the first one that ran across my RADAR, and from an author whose stories I already trust to be great.
Happy 1st Birthday to The Hole in the World
You are my very first book baby. We grew up in this wacky world of indie author-hood together. I learned so much from you, good and bad. You are my dream come to life.
A Metric System
Older adults love to read Middle Grade, Young Adult, and New Adult fiction. But are our critiques of these stories, which are not written for us, always fair?
ARC Review – The Stories Stars Tell by C.L. Walters
I wish I'd had more media available to tell me this. I wish someone had known that someone like me would need to know that I was not wrong, dirty, or bad. That my feelings were perfectly normal.

Review—Woke Up Dead by Nadia Gilkes
You ever pick up a book so fast based on the elevator pitch alone? That's exactly what I did when I saw the blurb for Nadia Gilkes' Woke Up Dead.
Review—The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
If you enjoy horror, this is a great psychological slasher that keeps tension building upon tension. Give it a chance, and may it be your gateway to Indigenous spec-fic!
