The Story Behind “Guarding Noah” Book 3 in the Cedar’s Port series
Behind the writing of Guarding Noah I’ve always been observant of my surroundings, and I love watching people — without watching them in a creepy way. I pay attention and file away snippets of conversations or situations as I go about my day.

The Story Behind "Bringing Back Faith" Book 4 in the Cedar's Port series
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DC77HHT5? Faith's story came to me after a conversation with a fellow survivor. Like me, we both suffered child abuse in the past. There is very little about what abused kids endure every day, and even less about how they get on with their lives after breaking away.

Fill in the Blank Challenge
In a world where quizzes and puzzles are everywhere, one simple yet effective game has stood the test of time — the “Fill in the Blank” challenge. Whether it’s in a classroom, a job interview, or just a fun post on social media, this activity can be both entertaining and educational. The concept is simple: you’re given a sentence with one or more missing words, and your task is to figure out what fits best. But behind this simplicity lies a surprisingly powerful tool for learning, communication, and even creativity.

Rachel Reviews: Femme Fatale : Shades of Retribution by Italia Tornabene
I do like a book with a strong female character: one who is a mother, a fighter, a friend, smart, determined and who has the resolve to see things through to the end. Italia Tornabene has created such in Italia Rossi who is a single mum, trying to make ends meet by working as a dancer whilst also being a good role model to her son, Dominic. Supported by her sister, Sheila, she is able to go off to work knowing that her son is cared for and this allows her to concentrate on bringing in what money she can at the club, where she works alongside her friend, Olive.

'The Testaments' Analysis: Intro, Chapters 1-3
I know my Handmaid's Tale analysis isn't finished, but I thought I would jump right into The Testaments since the Hulu adaptation is well underway. Obviously, the show and novel have different continuities. The Testaments is understood to take place 15 years after The Handmaid's Tale's (novel) ending. It does not feature the same protagonist, but rather tells the story from three different viewpoints.

Unlock the Audiobook Goldmine: How AI is Democratizing Audio Content Creation (And How You Can Benefit)
The hum of a captivating narrator, the immersion of a story unfolding without glancing at a page – audiobooks aren't just convenient; they're a cultural phenomenon. Did you know that over 50% of Americans now listen to audiobooks? Globally, billions are tuning in, driving an industry already worth billions and projected to explode sixfold by 2030. But for years, breaking into this lucrative market felt like scaling a fortress guarded by giants like Audible, with their hefty 75-80% commission cuts and complex production barriers. Writing, narrating, editing, marketing – the traditional path required thousands of dollars and months of effort, often ending in disappointment.
