Paranormal Romance is Hot As a kid, I enjoyed watching movies with vampires or werewolves. At 16, I picked up a book from Anne Rice and was hooked on books with paranormal elements.

The Soul Catcher series was the first set of books I had published back in 2010. The publishing world was going Continue Reading

DNF Review: Lady Bridget’s Diary by Maya Rodale
Lady Bridget's Diary by Maya Rodale (Cavendish #1) Releases: February 23, 2016 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Based on the title of this book, I assumed we would get some Bridget Jones's Diary references - it's a movie I adore and I had never read Maya Rodale so I decided to try it. What this book turns out to be is more of a retelling of Pride and Prejudice (PP) with Bridget Jones's Diary (BJD) and Mean Girls thrown in. (And I realize the similarities between Bridget Continue Reading
