The Warrior’s Bride Book Review

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve never been a Warrior’s Bride. I’ve never experienced being married to an active duty military soldier. In all likelihood, I would have never picked this book up, except for the fact that two of my dear friends wrote it. But oh how I would have missed out! Continue reading

Marked for Murder

Admittedly, I haven’t had much time to read lately, and when I do, my first choice is often non-fiction. I'm a sucker for inspirational, self-help material. What I failed to realize is that I could find those same qualities in a good … Continue reading
