I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggone it, people like me. HA!

There is somebody in the world that finds me interesting, which always kind of amazes me because I am actually a relatively shy person. When soon to be published and wildly talented author C.K. Garner (pictured) asked me if she could interview me for her own blog I was hesitant at first. I like to hear myself talk, but I was pretty sure that most of the world wasn't waiting with bated breath for what I had to say. But, it turned out to be a fun little interview. Ms. Garner asks the most interesting questions.

If you would like to read the interview please go here: The Book Geektress gets interviewed!

Even if you don't want to read the interview, you should definitely check out C.K. Garner's blog, Pile on the Protagonist. She has some interesting things to say and I have a feeling they are only going to get more interesting once her story goes live in August.

Enjoy!

I have been remiss....

So, you know that feeling when you know you should be doing something and life just keeps getting in the way. Yeah, been having that feeling a lot lately. I haven't done a review in a couple weeks, not that I get a whole lot of traffic here, but I like to be at least semi-consistent. I have been reading like crazy. Unfortunately one of those books was Fifty Shades of Grey, which (and please don't throw rotten fruit at me for this)I am not a fan of. I don't intend to review it, but I may do a quick blurb to let you all know why I didn't like it.

But, for now, I leave you with a book I am looking forward to coming out Tuesday, June 12.

Here is the synopsis:

Griffin Shaw used to be a PI, but that was back when gumshoes hoofed the streets . . . and he was still alive. Fifty years later, he's an angel, but that doesn't make him a saint. One small mistake has altered fate, and now he's been dumped back onto the mortal mudflat to collect another soul—Katherine "Kit" Craig, a journalist whose latest investigation is about to get her clipped.

Bucking heavenly orders, Grif refuses to let the sable-haired siren come to harm. Besides, protecting her offers a chance to solve the mystery of his own unsolved murder—and dole out some overdue payback for the death of his beloved wife, Evie.

Joining forces, Kit and Grif's search for answers leads beyond the blinding lights of the Strip into the dark heart of an evil conspiracy. But a ruthless killer determined to destroy them isn't Grif's biggest threat. His growing attraction to Kit could cost them both their lives, along with the answer to the haunting question of his long afterlife . . .

I had the pleasure of meeting and having lunch with Vicki Pettersson several years ago when her first book in her first series, The Sign of the Zodiac, had just released. Meeting her made me decide to give her books a try and I loved them. Now her new series is about to launch and I am anxiously waiting to purchase my copy!

If you haven't read Vicki Pettersson I urge you to give her books a try.
