I won her book, The Twelfth Paladin, at a giveaway, and she’s also a member of Creative Reviews. A little slow paced for my tastes, a little too preachy, sort of repetitive and sometimes confusing with the sudden introduction of third person point of view (omniscient) in chapter twelve. A bad editor didn’t really help – [...]

Book review and…
To check the book blurb, click on the cover, I’ll let the BuyPage do the talk. I guess this can be considered a paranormal romance, but instead of vampires or werewolves, we have gypsy mythology, which is refreshing (did I mention how tired I am of vampires – unless they have long dark hair and [...]

Book review: Cinders
CINDERS by Michelle Davisdon Argyle Don’t you love this cover? And the sentence? Since I stopped believing Prince Charming actually exists, I’ve become a little biased with fairy tales… but this fairy tale revisited, or better, fairy tale sequel was just great. The happily ever after is, well, a fairy tale. So I enjoyed this [...]

Book review: Gumbo Justice by Holli Castillo
I won this book on the Blog Jog Day last May and I’m sorry it took me so long to read it, but I guess it was worth the wait. I devoured it in two days, and here’s my Amazon review: I’m not a thriller reader, so this was my first look at anything written [...]

Book review – Cowgirl dreams by Heidi M.Thomas
I won this book on Blog Jog Day, so I must thank Carol Denbow for organizing that event. It allowed me to discover plenty of interesting blogs AND allowed me to win something – and trust me, that’s not something that happened often in my life! Even if I hadn’t won it, I had already [...]

Book review – The last stitch
My Amazon review: I read this book even faster than the first one (The Stumpwork Robe) because I was already inside the world and the story + the new characters were engaging + I really wanted to know how the story ended. I’m glad I discovered this author and her world, and sure hope to [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
