When anyone asks me what I am waiting for, there is really only one book that I immediately think of. I am pretty blinded to anything else, so I had to look at what’s coming out. These are what I found, which I mostly knew about, but they just got shoved into the back of [...]

Sandy M’s Best and Worst of 2010

Monday, January 17, 2011 13:00 2 Comments

Though I read mostly historical and paranormal, I also enjoy contemps and romantic suspense a lot. [...]

I started to write because I needed to write. However it was many years before it occurred to me that instead of dumping the [...]
