“Craft time is me time”–Claire Baxter, author of DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN (with a giveaway!)

Author Claire Baxter talks about getting back to crafting… I’m so excited to be invited to guest post here at Becky’s blog. Have you seen her beautiful quilts? I’ve recently resurrected my passion for crafts which had faded as I became busier with writing and lost touch with all the other creative activities I’d enjoyed.

I’d been thinking for some time that I needed a hobby, something that would be therapeutic…

What I’m Reading: Week in Review (9-13-13)

(Click on the image above to find out 10 fun facts about Friday the 13th–my favorite is that paraskevidekatriaphobia means fear of Friday the 13th. I’m totally going to use that for ELA class next week, when we’re talking about 50-cent words. It’s going to be one of mine!) Once again, school interferes with my reading, darn it. Still, I managed to be fairly productive, in spite of the tragedy that struck on Monday. The screen on my Kindle Fire cracked! It was horrible! I’m still not sure when/how exactly it happened, but it was found on the (hardwood) floor of my bedroom,…

What I’m Reading: Week in Review (9-7-13)

Okay, so I’m actually a day late. School has started and I’m exhausted. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I haven’t been able to read as much as I’d have liked to, naturally. But I’m still ahead on my Goodreads challenge, so I’m calling it a win. I read the novella I Dream of Johnny by Juliet Madison to get ready for the Three Wishes Blog Tour. It was cute–and short–though there were a few too many easy coincidences for me to give it more than three stars…a C+ rating. Enjoyable, though. I loved the idea behind it. I’ll definitely…
