Tides of Change

I've been re-reading The Mercrutian Chronicles to prepare for Tides of Change and it's funny how sometimes you end up laughing at your own book. I'm not sure if other authors experience this, but I really do enjoy the funny bits. 💕 And, I truly hope that my readers do too!
Lately, laughter has been one of the joys of life that I want to embrace more and more. As I'm reading Blue Moon Rising toda Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Zara Steen (?)

“My mother looked back at me while my father drove. Her long auburn hair was shimmering in the flickers of light passing through the window from the oncoming highway traffic. Looking at her I admired her flawless, pearlescent skin. Her hazel eyes were flecked with bits of blue and teal like a true Mer. My mother was beautiful, and I looked nothing like her.”

“I'm bookbrained-the act of book obsession common in writers. Not to be confused with bookbrains, a delicacy for zombies when eating the former.”
