SMHATTER

It’s conference season and to bloggers like me it means lots of primping and prepping and priming ourselves for the onslaught of new friends and new experiences.  When I’m not reading books, I’m very involved in social media and I love to have all of my tools at the ready.  Being prepared is difficult to do on the road and no one wants to be in the middle of a great session only to find your device low on battery {Read More}

Preview of I’m Rich by Zev Lewinson

I'm Rich

I’ve had the honor of being given the chance to review another work by the fabulous Zev Lewinson of SwordPen Publishing.  We first met at Book Expo America (BEA) in June 2012 where I delighted in his ethnically diverse and funny titles.  Here’s my post about the funny (and gross) When You gotta Go. Here’s a preview of SwordPen’s latest release: I’m Rich I’m Rich is the perfect tale for any time of the year. A man stumbles upon a {Read More}

And ALL of his books have been optioned for movies by Hollywood. YAY! I {Read More}

As you all know, PammyPam loves Jennifer Weiner!

If you’ve been following my Tweets or my FB page, you’ll know that I had the PLEASURE of stalking meeting a few of my fave authors. I’ve compiled a collage of some of the authors and {Read More}
