My daughter and I went to see The Princess and the Frog (IMDB page) yesterday. She loved it, but I came away slightly more critical.

I’m officially back! I’ve had a nice break, which was much-needed because I spent a large part of it sick. But the antibiotics appear to be working and since I was up early today, I decided I’d finish up this debut round-up. I also have a bunch of reviews in the works — being sick [...]

I can now write posts from my recliner! This little iPod Touch is so danged handy! I have been having a blast with it. I have even requested my first digital ARC. It is the only thing I wanted for Christmas and I love it. I’ll have to do a full review when I’ve played [...]

The winter cold might be a sinus infection after all. And it’s seriously impeding my Christmas [...]

With so many writers here at Debuts and Reviews, and with the popularity which Writer Wednesday enjoys, I thought writing would be a good topic for my first non-review post. I can’t promise I’ll be as wonderful a guest as Justin Allen and the other authors who’ve joined the writing discussions in the [...]

The Writer Wednesday conversation from last week has revived! Come help me make it the first post to reach 100 comments! We are now discussing the difficulties of writing fight scenes when there are more than two characters involved. Jump to it here.

Since I’m always reading, I may as well do some Reading and Tweeting! I just received a book in the mail and since the release date is impending, it is a good pick.

Still much too busy to post. I’m not quite halfway through my little project and I’ve been working on it every spare moment. To get a hint about what I’ve been up to, check my Twitter feed, which is below in the inner sidebar, just below the little tweety bird. If you want to contact [...]
