Guest Post – Motivated by Passion by Jennifer S. Alderson

I’m always amazed at how many people I meet who have a well-developed idea for a book in their heads but have already convinced themselves they aren’t ‘good’ enough to actually write it. “You’re a published author,” they almost always say, “maybe you can write it up for me.” Since my first book’s release in November 2015,  I’ve been asked… Read more »

Creature Feature – Mermaids: Life Under the Sea by A. Fae

As far as creatures go, most wouldn’t think a mermaid would be a part of that group.  However, the mermaid we think of today thanks to Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale, The Little Mermaid (1836), isn’t the mermaid known throughout history. When you think of a mermaid, you often think of flowing hair, a beautiful face -and body for those… Read more »

Creature Feature – Worse Than Frostbite: The Wendigo of the Algonquian Peoples of North America by Tay Laroi

Among the Algonquian peoples of northeastern North America lurks a creature that waits for the ice and snow of winter to stalk its prey. It creeps in the cold shadows, looking for its next meal or for a lost soul to turn into one of its own.

Creature Feature – Piexies: Not Just Another Creature by A. Fae
