This month I give you a buccaneer who probably didn’t really exist and one who probably did. Both of them have come down through history as legendary figures though there’s little actual physical evidence of their lives. Still, never let it be said that I passed up the chance to share a good legend, especially if there’s a chance that at least part of it may be true. A word about words: ‘pirate’ is a … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Jacquotte Delahaye and Anne Dieu-le-Veut
Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis is $2.99! Big thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale. It’s book two in the Queens of Villainy series and it released in January of this year.
So there are some parties happening this weekend. I’m sort of “meh” about them. I haven’t been a big rah-rah fan of July 4 for several years (since…2016 maybe?

Our solution for our dogs, if you need help: a Bluetooth speaker turned up very loud playing brown noise (the worst name for a pretty good sleeping … Continue reading Friday Videos Wish You a Peaceful Weekend
My guest this week is Kirsty Greenwood, whose new book Romantic Hero is out now everywhere, all over the world. Kirsty writes what she calls “speculative romantic comedy,” and I really loved her first book, Love of my Afterlife.

Want to watch this episode? Find us on … Continue reading 725. Romantic Hero with Kirsty Greenwood
Voidwalker by S.A. Maclean is $2.99! This was released last August and I mentioned it on Hide Your Wallet. This is a duology and book two is out next month.
When I read the following scene near the start of Big Stick Energy, I knew I was going to have a good time with this hockey romance. The captain, Eric (our hero) describes his teammates getting off the bus by saying “I watch as they file toward the front, a procession of exhausted millionaires griping like toddlers before nap time.” It made me hoot with laughter. I thought, here was a sports romance that a … Continue reading Big Stick Energy by Sarina Bowen
RECOMMENDED: The Halifax Hellions by Alexandra Vasti is $2.99! I could not find this on BN, but I’ve found the search is pretty borked since their site update. If you happen to find it digitally for BN, let me know so I can update the links. This collects the first two novellas in the Halifax Hellions series. The trilogy of novellas was favorably reviewed on the site.
