Misfit McCabe Series Sweetheart Deal

By LK Gardner-Griffie on February 3, 2012

February is known for being the month for sweethearts… and while I’m not the majorly romantic type (I leave that to my characters) I found myself thinking about what sweethearts my readers are and wanted to do something to celebrate them.

Dies Irae Blog Tour: Embracing the Shadow

By LK Gardner-Griffie on February 2, 2012

I’m excited to host Christine Fonseca today on her tour for the release of her novella Dies Irae. I remember having dinner with Christine a while back and we talked about some of our projects. And when she spoke about the story, both Dies Irae and her upcoming book Lacrimosa, which are a part of her Requiem Series, her face lit up.

Book Review: Molly Hacker Is Too Picky! by Lisette Brodey

Book Review: Molly Hacker Is Too Picky! by Lisette Brodey

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 15, 2012

I loved this book. I tried to think of another way to start this review, but that is the overwhelming thing that comes to mind. Reading Molly Hacker Is Too Picky! is like getting together with an old friend you haven’t seen for a while and catching up on all that has happened in her life during the past year.

Book Review: Facing Demons by Ashley Sanders

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 15, 2012

Somewhere during the tumultuous years we call being a teenager, I read a book called Voices that impacted me strongly at the time and stuck with me for many years. The concept of the book was the background and letters of teens who committed suicide, and was based on non-fiction cases.

Book Review: Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 14, 2012

I think I’ve said this before, but I love mysteries. I cut my reading teeth on the cozies of Agatha Christie — I have read every single one more times than I or anyone else can count — and it didn’t stop there.
