Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I set a goal at Goodreads.com to read 25 books in 2012. I hit that goal pretty early on, so I bumped it up to 35 and finished the year with 37 books read. Or, as I prefer to think of it, 10,451 pages. That’s 3,325 more pages than I read with 17 books in…
So, I finished up my library book tour yesterday in the nice little town of Blanchard, Okla. I had a good time at each stop and met some great readers (Heidi, Kyler, Lauryn), aspiring writers (Kimberly and Amanda), and some fantastic librarians each time.

I’ll be attending the Literati Indie Book Fair at the AIO Gallery, 811 N. Broadway in OKC this Saturday. I’ll have a reading at 2 p.m.; the fair itself runs from noon until 8 p.m. At the moment, I’m planning to read “Elysia” from Call to the Hunt. I have to keep it PG-13, so that…
