Yes, folks I survived yet another week of this abominable three-digit heat, as well as five solid days on the J-O-B. But I'm pretty sure you didn't stop by to read more of me whining about the weather (again), or hear about my sweat induced wet-n-wild adventure during my hour long commute in 107 degree weather...am I right? You’re here to find out WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN THE WORLD?! Or at least what's going on in the little bit of space that I occupy on this planet and to hear news about some books and writers I'm currently really excited for and about. So without further ado, I present...BIG NEWS FEATURE FRIDAY!!!
Yes, peeps this is a post dedicated to showing nothing but love to my fellow writers and to offer some of the good news YOU all have that I can share with others. Now...Ready. Set. GO!!!

Now I simply couldn’t resist giving a MAJOR shout out to this gorgeous rising star writer who has inspired me in ways she'll probably never know. The beautiful and talented Tara Hudson is an attorney by trade but a brilliant up and coming author that I am anxious to see the world embrace in the very near future. Tara's debuting novel HEREAFTER is a gripping and deliciously evocative story that explores the realm of afterlife and the possibility of finding love after death. An engrossing read that I literally finished in one sitting, this first book of her trilogy definitely earned a 5-star rating in my book. A MUST READ!!!

MY FAVORITE BOOK TRAILER(S) of the WEEK:
Go to Gretchen McNeil for her debuting novel POSSESS! (Holy beegeezees!) And also to Raine Thomas for her debuting trilogy The Daughters of Saraqael. Check it out!
