Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares
Great title, right? :) Author and grammarian, Jenny Baranick, has launched her grammar utility guide Missed Periods & Other Grammar Scares: How to Avoid Unplanned & Unwanted Grammar Errors. Not saying you need it (I do), but Jenny is hilarious and I'm sure her book is equally entertaining... and useful... to some. :) You can check out Jenny's blog HERE, and pick up her book HERE.
Weighted Release Day!

Author Ciara Knight's latest is available now! Here are the deets:
Weighted (Prequel Novelette)
Escapement (Book I) - Early 2013
The Great War of 2185 is over, but my
nightmare has just begun. I am being held captive in the Queen’s ship awaiting
interrogation. My only possible ally is the princess, but I’m unsure if she is
really my friend or a trap set by the Queen to fool me into sharing the secret
of my gift. A gift I keep hidden even from myself. It swirls inside my body
begging for release, but it is the one thing the Queen can never discover. Will
I have the strength to keep the secret? I’ll know the answer soon. If the
stories are true about the interrogators, I’ll either be dead or a traitor to
my people by morning.
