Multiples Illuminated – a book review Did you just discover that you are pregnant . . . with twins, triplets or more?

Logos Book Excerpt {Novel Publicity Book Tour}
Logos I am a sucker for historical fiction books. I was intrigued by this one when Emlyn of Novel Publicity reached out for reviewers because it was described as an historical fiction that was about Christianity but not in a religious sense – in a historical sense. It is about the man who would anonymously […]

Who Stole My Spandex?
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve worn spandex, so if mine was stolen, I probably wouldn’t even notice. So clearly I’m not talking about me here.
