When I made my most recent blog post, I saw this: Yeah, NINE HUNDRED posts. Crazy, right? I guess not so crazy when you consider that I started blogging on Windows Live Spaces on December 2, 2004. Back then I started the blog for one reason: Windows Live Spaces was about to get Xbox Live …
Broke? Cheap? You’ve got enough money jingling in your pocket or collecting lint in your sofa cushions for what readers have called “a straight-up page turner” “a captivating thriller” and “a twisty-turney perfect murder mystery” To celebrate the imminent release of Pwned (Lexy Cooper #2), the first Lexy adventure, Schooled is on sale for just …
There are some people who can never, in good conscience, review an author’s books: the author herself of course, and anyone who worked on the actual text.

Last week marked the debut of my new column at TheMarriedGamers.net. It’s called Crawl, Walk, Game, and it’s all about my experiences gaming with my youngest child.
