Five of my favorite things (note: things – not the Lord, family, friends, pets, etc. – things): Dawn or just before dawn Coca Cola (of course) and Milk (yes, cow milk 2%) but not mixed together Writing and reading novels of certain genres Sitting in the sun reading novels My Glock   Lord God, thank…

                (Tentatively planning on making Thursdays "Older Reviews Day". Here's one for you from April, 2012.) There's just something divine about reading another novel by a favorite author. Recently here I reviewed The Thirteenth Tribe by Robert Liparulo and what a pleasure it was to once again partake of his imagination, voice, story, and words.…

  There is no good in evil. The parallel opposites run infinitely into oblivion. On a daily basis humanity is asked to choose one behavior over another time and time again. It's not always an easy choice to make. We'd like to think it is. But it is not. The human kind are incessantly lured…

Becky Wade is a bona fide romance writer. If you're looking for "romance-lite", you won't find it in Becky's books. Huh-uh. And because she writes them so well, I read them.

   If you need a fun escape during the final days of winter (let's hope they're the final days) – or anytime at all – I highly recommend this comedic but exciting fun-filled, glamorous lark of a film. This remake of The Tourist is as good as a remake can be. I loved it!  …

  Nearly every age group in the USA can reminisce about "the good old days", but the "baby boomers" seem to indulge the nostalgia better than most. Growing up the in the 40s and 50s and experiencing the transformation that took place in the 60s and 70s, it's easy to say those years before the…

     Each trailer reveals more about the upcoming movie. The final installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Hate for it to end. Dead Men Tell No Tales is advertised as the "final adventure". My favorite series of all time.   Father, you know the blackness of lost hearts. I pray for dramatic conversions and…
