E-book Review: Along Came a Demon by Linda Welch

Photobucket

Title: Along Came a Demon
Author: Linda Welch
Page count: 204
Price when I bought it: $0.99
How I read it: Kindle

Description:  
Tiff Banks can see the ghosts of the violently slain as well as beings known as the Otherworldy, which she calls demons. When the ghost of a naked woman shows up on her lawn, Tiff must help put her to rest by finding the woman's missing son.

Opening Line:
"There's a naked woman in the garden," Jack said.

My Thoughts:
Along Came a Demon is labeled as paranormal mystery, but personally I'd call it a paranormal romance. Why? Because the climax of the story isn't finding the lost boy or the final showdown with the demons, but when Tiff and the sexy demon do it.

I'm Doing Camp NaNoWriMo!

Photobucket

At least, I think I am. Camp NaNoWriMo is a version of National Novel Writing Month that takes place in any month instead of just in November like the original NaNo. It sounds like they will have it up and running for July and now that we are mostly settled in our new home (still a couple of boxes left to unpack), I'm eager to work on a novel that's been stewing in my head for several years. You can join Camp NaNoWriMo here and follow my progress here. Let me know if you're participating. I'd love to be camp buddies!

So what's my novel going to be about? The description I currently have up on Camp NaNo is this:

Hiatus

We're moving! There are about a million things I have to do so my writing blog is going on hiatus until we are settled in our new home, probably in a couple of months. See you then!

Most Victorian Ladies Didn't Wear Trousers

Most Victorian ladies didn't run around looking like this:

Most polygamists actually like polygamy:

The cast of the Sister Wives reality show
A tenth-century Chinese person probably wouldn't find foot binding disgusting. Slave owners didn't feel guilty about owning slaves, or else they would've freed them. And despite what Bollywood wants us to think, in modern day India up to ninety percent of marriages are arranged marriages.

What's my point?
