In this life, there are ups and downs. The key is what you do with the dash. What is "the dash"? It's the journey of life between birth and death. It's what you do with the time you are given. It is your purpose. It is the ups and downs of life - showing you that you are still alive.
This blog-vlog is a multi-media experience. You can choose to only read the blog, or only watch the vlog on YouTube (you can also catch some shorts on TikTok), or you can experience it all by taking advantage of both!
If being an author, blogger, podcaster, publisher, speaker, wife, comic con coordinator, and mother was not enough to have on my plate, I was also diagnosed with synovial sarcoma (cancer) in SEP2024. The amazing support of God, Jesus, The Spirit, family (Super Hubby & Daughter especially) and friends, I have enables me to continue on.
It is my pledge to you to not hold back. It will be a raw walk through thoughts and feelings.

This world is full of many adventures! To me, there's nothing better than the adventure you can experience between the pages of a well written book! In this blog, it's my intention to share with you some great works that may take you on that journey you've been looking for! You may also find your new favorite author in the process! Each author is different. Don't be afraid to venture out and find some new reads today! Also in this blog, I will take some time to talk (interview) some authors, and share some promotions! I will do my best to get a variety of different genres (minus erotica). When I post my review, I will also add the Amazon link to the book for your convenience. Happy Reading!
