Seeking Cultural Truths
Today is the day! Two years in the making! The first book in my Tudor series is available, The Usurper's Throne. There's also a little time left to enter the autographed book giveaway on Goodreads. =) Finished the second draft on the second book a couple of days ago. If all goes well, I intend...

I wonder, when was the first time someone blamed God for a horrific act against humanity? And when will be the last time, when He finally shows up (again) to roll His divine eyes and say, “Honestly, mortals, must you blame everything on me? I gave you brains for a reason. You could use them... Continue Reading →
I’ve never known a Brit without an opinion on the Duke of Windsor, also known as the “abdicated king.” And I cannot guess what the writer thinks of him, either, since he makes him in turns, dreadful and pitiable. “David” enters an England glad to see him (if you ask the wrong people), and loathe...

Just dropping my readers a note to inform them they can pre-order the first book in my Tudor Throne series on Kindle. The paperback will come out at the same time, but is not available for pre-order. Thanks to everyone who signed up to read and review it for me! =)
One of the most adapted literary characters of all time is Count Dracula. Played as a romantic anti-hero, a demented monster, and an empathetic but misguided devil, audiences cannot get enough of Bram Stoker’s creation. It is not difficult to fathom the reason why, for beneath the interesting tale of heroism pitted against an ancient... Continue Reading →
