Jami, the Editor

Relocation These days I'm wearing a new hat! Some of you may already know that. I made a small announcement a year ago about taking on the career of freelance editor, then my world went topsy-turvy. At this exact time a year ago, my husband interviewed for a position a few hundred miles away from our home in Kentucky. When he was notified of his acceptance to the position, his start date was about three weeks later. Suffice it to say, we couldn't get moved before his starting date, so ...

The Innkeeper's Daughter Michelle Griep Jami's Words

The Innkeeper’s Daughter by Michelle Griep – a review

I am one of those people who claims to not judge a book by its cover. That is mostly true. However, when I saw the cover of The Innkeeper's Daughter and read the book description, I knew that I would be reading this book at some point in time. The time period that Michelle Griep's novel is written (Early 1800s England) is a period I enjoy reading. The cover art drew me in right away. I was sold. Joanna Langley, her mother Eliza, and young brother Thomas own and live in the Blue Hedge Inn in ...

The Firefighter’s Twins | Review & GIVEAWAY

It isn't very often that I start out a review with a desire to simply—right away—share how much I enjoyed a book. Today is one of those days. I enjoyed The Firefighter's Twins by Heidi McCahan! I don't dole out five star reviews like candy; there are a few things that I'm looking for when determining how I rate a book (naturally, my opinion is mine alone and is subjective!). Author Heidi McCahan hit one of those "things" that I look for right away, and I didn't even realize it at first. The ...

The Tower of Refuge by Lauren Lynch | Giveaway winner!

Reading The TimeDrifter Series by Lauren Lynch has truly been a joy. I'm so sad that I've finished the third book.

Headed toward Cappadocia, the group finds new adventures and new friends along the way. Brendan and Anna struggle with the ...
