Book Reviews: Kasie West

Image
Finding a new book is one of the most therapeutic processes in the world. I love reading the synopsis on the back, smelling the inside, flipping through the pages, and looking over the front covers. It's like having a new gift to open and explore.  I usually find lifelong friends within the pages of a book. It's enjoyable to meet them on the first page and take a journey with them all the way to the end. Their growth, decisions, and personalities make every page a pleasure.  The plots that authors develop and write give me the opportunity to delve into someone else's story. It's a delight to escape into a whole new world and become someone else for a little while.  I'm sure all readers feel this way, and it's a marvelous sentiment to connect with others over a shared love of books. So, today, I wanted to share three books by Kasie West which have captured my attention and interest.  Her writing is fun, flirty, and effortless. Each book is a quick read and

Author April Erwin's Aspects of Faith

Most of us, sometimes, feel as if our heads are barely keeping above water . Even Avril Lavigne felt that way as she dealt with health issues over the last few years and her strenuous bout with Lyme disease , which is being given awareness to so many in their battle through her foundation, the Avril Lavigne Foundation .  There's a world of veterans, victims, and everyday human beings going through PTSD and dealing with mental illnesses that are suffering and need our help. Reading can be a great force against the negative, and when you find a book whose message gives you hope, you have to share it. That's my motivation in bringing you a new book today. Author April Erwin joined me a couple of years ago with her first book in the Heroes of Justice series: Justice Burning . In that interview, she shared what inspired her story and how it evolved. Feel free to check it out here: A Favorite: Guest Author April Erwin : Now, April gives me some insight into her newest book: Th

MY DEBUT AT HALF-PRICE BOOKS On September 5th, I came home to a glorious surprise. The coolest event I've had in awhile. Three boxes sat on my kitchen table. Inside, every one of my five books. My four fairytale retellings and poetry book.  It was such a feeling! I was so happy I could have burst! If you're a writer, you know the feeling. If you're a reader, I'm sure you can imagine it.  Sorting out my books, I set aside the ones I knew I'd be sharing with my betas --  who were the most amazing readers throughout my writing and launch process. They gave me invaluable feedback, and I appreciated their words of wisdom and kindness!!  Next, I set aside one book of each to donate to my local bookstore, and the place I love to call home: Half Price Books . My manager and coworkers have been supportive of my writing journey. They've been considerate every step of the way asking how my writing has progressed, helping give their thoughts on the cover

Red Headed Book Lover Blog Interview

RED HEADED BOOK LOVER BLOG Last week, I introduced you to Aimee Ann and her blog. A book-loving blogger, Aimee Ann enjoys reading and reviewing books that she loves. I was honored to have her share my book Realm Walk and give it 5/5 Stars. However, she didn't stop there. This fellow red-head also shared an interview she had with me on her Author Spotlight the week of the September 7th.  She was kind enough to include me with other fabulous authors whose books she has read and loved. It is one of the greatest privileges I've ever had, and Aimee Ann is the kindest person in the world! It was an amazing experience, and I can't thank her enough for making me a part of her world.  Aimee Ann is also a huge advocate for our armed forces, and in particular, our wounded heroes . I support military charities as well and hope you'll check out the four foundations who help others in need that she has posted on her site. It's my hope you'll enjoy checking o

Red Headed Book Lover Blog Review

MY REALM WALK REVIEW As a writer, it means so much when someone likes your book and shares their enjoyment with you. It's the warmest, cheeriest feeling when a reader loves your story and characters and takes the time to write a review. The appreciation is almost tripled when someone takes the time to write a whole blog about you and one of your books. A book they read and loved. I think I might burst with excitement!  Aimee Ann, book-lover and blogger of Red Headed Book Lover blog , contacted me to request the opportunity to read and review my YA fantasy, fairytale retelling, Realm Walk.  It was a thrilling opportunity, and I was honored. As she said in her blog review,  "Realm Walk is undeniably a must read and a novel that I was desperate to read ever since discovering it. Firstly, the cover of the book is stunning but what really attracted me was the phenomenal description which alluded to themes of fantasy and even legends and fairy tales and when I read the
