The Five Ways I Use Goodreads

by Leave a Comment

Goodreads is a website—with apps for mobile devices—that allows users to track books, read and leave book reviews, and connect with other readers. I started using Goodreads in 2019, and I wish I had found it sooner. So I’ve compiled the five ways that I use Goodreads. There are over five, but my cauldron, my reasons. 😂

Setting Reading Goals

Each year Goodreads starts a new reading challenge. I select a goal number of books I want to read for the year, and each time I mark a book as read, it counts toward my yearly goal. I’m goal-oriented, and I love marking things off to-do lists. So this is a win for me.

May Books, Books, Books!

May showers bring . . . more reading time!

Yes, I know the saying starts with April showers, but I’m not one to let tradition get in the way of a good hook. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you know who loves gray, rainy days? Vampires like Marek, Grace, and Laramie, who, because of some shady experiments in the 1940s, can be outside in daylight but still aren’t exactly up for a sunny day at the beach.

Why not catch up with them in a cozy spot on a rainy day? And if you’re up to date on the Cabernet Cavalry, then how about meeting cozying up to some new vampires?

Bad Blood – A Paranormal Vampire Book Fair

May’s promotion, Bad Blood, is all about vampires. The books are free to read with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but if you aren’t in KU, don’t let it stop you from checking out these creatures of the night. They’re all available from Amazon. Who knows, you might find your new best vampire friend—after Laramie and the crew, of course. 😂

Happy Reading!

Happy April!

We’re having lovely weather in Ireland – I probably just jinxed us – but I’m enjoying finding a sunny spot in the house and catching up on my reading.

If you’re looking to fill up your favorite reading app with free books and stories, you’ve come to the right place. I’m participating in two promotions this month.

My First Book Signing Event and a sale!

by Leave a Comment

Hey y’all!

I have great news. I will be holding my first book signing event this week!


Bankhead Brewing Co

The amazing Bankhead Brewing Co. has been kind enough to let me set up on their enclosed patio to sell and sign books. They do great food and drinks. In addition to the very tasty beer they brew their own selves, they have a full bar and do mean mixed drinks. I love their beer, and martinis, and margaritas, and wine, and . . . well, you get the picture.

Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm

Come out and join me on Wednesday, January 27th, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. I will have paperback copies of Dying in Dallas and The Blood Will Tell on sale at the event. If you already have a copy, then bring it with you and I’ll sign it.

“But what if I can’t make the event?”

Never fear, I’m so excited about my first ever event, that I am reducing the Amazon prices, from now through Wednesday, to match the prices at the event. Not to leave Kindle readers out, the e-book prices have also been reduced.

The Laramie Harper Chronicles

The Laramie Harper Chronicles follow the adventures of Laramie Harper as she tries to keep her dog-friendly wine bar, The Whine Barrel, in business, solves murders, and searches for a century-old relic that could destroy humanity. All the while, Laramie and her dog, Bodacious, are knee-deep in voodoo, vampires, vampire hunters, and werewolves. 

Click on the title to be taken to your Amazon store to get the sale price. Remember, this offer is only good through Wednesday night, so don’t wait.

Dying in Dallas

Laramie Harper is having a horrible weekend. Strangers viciously attack her, she finds a dead body, and the police arrest her for murder. The worst thing, though? She’s turning thirty.

Paperback: $12.00
Kindle: $1.99

The Blood Will Tell

You’re Invited!

What: Laramie Harper’s 1st Halloween Party—and possibly her last.

Where: The Madam

When: All Hallows’ Eve

Costumes: Encouraged

Paperback: $10.00
Kindle: $1.99


I hope to see you there!

Remember, Beware of Bumpies!
