Must I take the High Road? A rant in the making.
By Tori. I am positive I would not make a good romance heroine. At least, not a nice one. Because one, I’m not very nice. I’m polite and well mannered, but I don’t filter my thoughts and there aren't many whose opinions mean much to me. I'm loyal, selfish, a tad insane, perpetually grumpy, and anyone who messes with those I love will see a whole other side of me. The side that gives you until the count of five to straighten up or run. I don’t believe long suffering and virtuous automatically Continue Reading

Author Avery Flynn: Hot Zombie Hunters
Hey Good Looking: Hot Zombie Hunters By Avery Flynn First, let me apologize, Mandi, because Channing Tatum is not on this list. If he would just make a zombie movie I’d totally add him to my hottest zombie hunters list (what, like you don’t have one). But, alas, he has not, so I have to enjoy him singing Channing All Over Your Tatum on Jimmy Kimmel instead. In my latest release, Jax and the Beanstalk Zombies, the hero Jax is a total hottie zombie hunter. The mmm-mmm good kind. But he’s not the Continue Reading

Tori’s Favorite Books of 2012
Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a body part I can’t live without. I need them all to survive. 2012 was a fabulous and turbulent year for bibliophiles and bookworms alike. We watched normally sane authors engage in dubious behavior, we saw FanFic hit the NY best sellers list, and we watched a few new genres appear while old favorites take a turn for the worse. I read over 500 books this year and found myself extremely hard pressed to pick just a few to share as my favorites. As you Continue Reading
