Review: The Busy Woman’s Guide to Murder
The Busy Woman’s Guide to Murder by Mary Jane Maffini My rating: 3 of 5 stars Like the other books in the series, this one was light and breezy. The characters are familiar, the story not deep, a good read when you want to switch your brain off. My only quibble with it was that…
The Soft Launch of SHE
She is out. She is published. Yay! It’s rather unbelievable that my fantasy novel finally is. Right now, I am doing a soft launch of the eBook. I had read about this method of launching a book awhile ago and thought it a good idea. Basically, I upload the final DOC file to Smashwords, which…
Review: She
She by Shireen Jeejeebhoy It’s a bit difficult to review one’s own book. First one is convinced it’s the worst dreck ever, then the thought creeps in that it’s brilliant, but of course reality is in between. And so I am eminently unqualified to star it or rate it. But I hope you will! View…
Review: The Dead Place
The Dead Place by Stephen Booth My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read recently that this series featuring Diane Fry and Ben Cooper, two police detectives in Derbyshire, England, is popular in Canada. It’s nice to know I’m amongst much company. But I’m not surprised. This is British to the core but not in…
Publishing is a Series of Confusions to be Solved
Trying to get your work published is a series of confusions, one leading to the next, each to be solved before moving on. To be published by a large, traditional publisher, but not a small press, you need an agent. And besides it would be nice to have someone alongside, who knows the ropes. Writing…
Fatigue: Pain’s Stronger, Immortal Sibling
Fatigue is such an inadequate word to describe the unutterable weariness that comes on to a person with fibromyalgia or brain injury just because one got up in the morning. When someone who has a chronic illness or injury, particularly brain injury, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome, say they’re tired, they don’t mean what you…
Review: Murder On Monday
Murder On Monday by Ann Purser My rating: 2 of 5 stars Somebody wrote that this is British to the core. It is very British, that’s for sure. I sometimes wondered if almost stereotypically so. It was an OK read. Lots of domestic details that were I think put in not so much to move…
Colds = Long Recovery for People With Traumatic Brain Injury
Allergies suck. Having a cold sucks. Laryngitis has not paid me a visit in years, and it sucked too. I always think people with chronic illnesses or injuries like traumatic brain injury ought to have a get-out-of-being-sick card. Having a stuffed nose, being sneezy, feeling the postnasal drip drip drip, coughing from the throat and…
