My first Dean Koontz experience was thrilling, confusing, jaw-dropping and inspirational. The Good Guy started off by making me a skeptic wondering what was behind the main character’s motivation to take it upon himself to play the murderer-for-hire and then the employer to the actual hitman. I read the entire book wondering what his reasoning was only to be shocked by the truth.
Giving this best-selling author the benefit of the doubt I read with speed and interest and was inspired to realize how simply the story was weaved with such common vocabulary. As an emerging author I was awe-struck to realize how similar my own tales were, unbelievable and otherwise.

Excited to read another Dean Koontz book I was impressed to read The Good Guy as my very first experience. Although my opinion is subject with the reading of additional books by the same author I am inspired and motivated to finish my own novel to see what all of you think.

When deciding what charity to support in the cause of literacy I Googled literacy of Canada and found the World Literacy of Canada. Intrigued by their cause and their promotion of the importance of literacy in this country as well as those around the world I knew what I had to do.
From today forward $1 from every one of my Ebook sales, including the Beating Adult Dyslexia Ebook, Sending You Sammy Ebook and Fill in the Blank Letters ebook, will go directly towards the World Literacy of Canada. You can follow mine, and your, contributions via Facebook by joining their Cause.

I’m not sure if it has to anything to do with my love of children or that I’m expecting my first one but Hold Tight just lept into the number one spot on my Harlan Coben favourites list. With parents of all backgrounds left wondering how far you should go to protect your family, Coben’s newest characters answer a lot while leaving me questioning so much more.
How far is too far when it comes to your children? Tia and Mike Baye, parents of two, feel they did everything right until their son’s friend commits suicide and their own son turns his sadness inwards.
Not being able to reach their teenager, the Baye’s are much like everyone else in their community but risked everything to take one extra measure. What their actions unraveled was much more than they ever thought possible.
Coben always has me guessing and so I try harder to sort everything out before he spells it out. This time, like all others, he had me suspecting everyone and doubting everything. Although there was one minor detail I uncovered almost immediately prior to Coben telling me, I’m still in awe as to how he does it.
As a writer myself I love twists and turns and often write in ones I would never have expected but I never trust them enough to feel that all its readers will be stunned by the ending.
Hold Tight, although I’m still deciding if it’s my favourite book by all authors so far, far surpassed my high expectations.

A cliche but Echo Park was a page turner from beginning to end. With the unsolved case of Marie Gesto haunting Detective Harry Bosch 13 years after her disappearance you never know what twist Connelly is going to write into the next page.
While learning to admire Bosch’s persistence you always are left wondering if he’s really the best guy for the case. With his twisted tales of love and sordid way of cracking a case, this detective is one that takes his job to heart.
Although I was left with questions that I feared I would be left to ponder, almost everything came together in a shocking and intriguing way. I’ll just always wonder what happened with Walling and Bosch the first time around.

With my first pregnancy although I’ve been trying to think positively I have been suffering greatly and so have those around me. Today, I’ll be changing that.
I opened my email to The Secret newsletter I’ve been receiving to see the question “How do I stop negative thoughts?”. I was just thinking that exact same thing all week but the answer is simple.
Think positive ones.
Don’t think about how you put an end to that stuffy nose, the watering eyes, the humidity, etc. Think about what is great in your life and you won’t have the time nor room for those thoughts.
Today I have planted the seed of thinking about how fantastic it will be to bring my baby home to a new house in the country, how thrilled my husband will be to see the baby outside of my belly, and how we’ll finally be able to put all our parenting thoughts into action.
I just know these small but important gems of my life will keep me going and will make my stuffy nose be nothing more than a reminder of what is yet to come.
