Hey everyone! I have some really exciting news! My newest book, Shut Up and Eat: The Unofficial Doctor Who Series Ate Cookbook is now available on amazon! (kindle edition to come, still working on that!)
This cookbook has been a labor of love since Sept. 2014! I am so excited to have it all done and out there for everyone to see! You can order it here on Amazon! 
 There are a lot of great recipes in this book, inspired by the episode of the newest Doctor Who Series with Peter Capaldi as the Doctor!This book has great illustrations by Ginger Hoesly. Kara Dennison also lent her artistic awesomeness  to the book, and Anita Bruckert did some fantastic food photos s well!

A Bard Days Knight is Out!

So I posted earlier this month that I had a new short story coming out in a fantasy anthology! Well it is out! Here is the link to purchase "A Bard Days Knight" that has my short story "The Twisted Forest" in it. You can also check out other anthologies I am in by following this link to my Amazon Authors Page.

Reaper Miniatures Bones II: The Return Of Mr Bones! Kickstarter

So back in October of 2013 I backed the second Bones kickstarter. I back the first one with friends, you can see that post here. This time I only got add on options and nothing big. I really wanted the plastic mouslings, some dragons and some heroes. The box this time was much smaller. Basically Ill just post some photos of the miniatures I got in this kickstarter and let you know what they are so you can see the quality and how they are made.





These Mouslings are so cute! I have a bunch of metal ones from Bones, but these are so much easier to manage and the detail is great! These mouslinsgs are all fantasy themed. Princess, Wizard, robin hood type, and so on. I cannot wait to paint these!







  Next up I have the new design of Mr. Bones! This guy is awesome. He has great detail, and is one solid piece of plastic!

I also got some Faeries and Centaurs.

 Got an awesome Shark and some sea nymphs

New Sophie

Also got a heroes pack, these were two of the heroes that didn't have to be put together.


So overall I am super happy with the minis I got. I was REALLY sad that their police box miniature only came in a add on set for 50$. It was not worth the money to me since all the other minis in the set were not ones I would have used and I desperately wanted that police box.

Overall I have been happy with the quality of the Bones minis in their new plastic line. I have so many of the metal figures, and I really like these way better.

Influenster Tide Pods w/ Febreze XoVoxBox

So I received my third VoxBox, my XoVoxBox. I got lots of great stuff to try this time. One of those items being Tide Pods with Febreze. I use the Tide sensitive pods normally, but I was definitely willing to give these a try.
The size sent to me is their refill bag with 10 pods in it. Upon opening the bag I could tell these would make my clothing smell good because the scent that was trapped in the bag filled the air! Always good when stuff that is meant to clean your clothing smells good.
The pods made my clothing smell great and you only need one per load, so it lasts a good ten washes, which is great not having to measure out any washing detergent.
I would definitely get these again!
I received these free for testing purposes!

A Bard Days Knight

So I have a new short story coming out (possibly later this month) in a fantastic anthology titled "A Bard Days Knight" (cover above). I am so excited for this anthology, it is always so fun to have a story in a book that has stories in it also written by your friends! This anthology has stories in it by Michael Ventrella, Tera Fulbright, and KT Pinto, to just name a few others.
My story "The Twisted Forest" is in this story. It is a high fantasy story following the adventure of an elf and her wards, as they travel through a forest that has been mangled by darkness from the past wars of the land.
Once the anthology is out I will post a link to it!

Ipsy March Preview

So earlier today Ipsy released their March sneak peak after showing previews on facebook and Instagram all week. Ipsy has never let me down and I am excited to try the items I am getting in this months bag! There were so many great products that they offered this month and I was excited to see what I was getting. So check it out!

First off this months bag is so pretty! I am excited for the spring/flower look! I also also excited for the NYX lipstick, not sure what color I am getting (they have a nude/pink, purple and bright pink) I hope I get the nude pink, but any of them will work. The loose powder pigment will be fun to wear (either grey or copper), Big Sexy Hair cream will be fun to try (I use their shampoo and love it!), Dr Brandt Skincare is an amazing brand and their pores no more lotion looks amazing, and then the highlighter pencil looks interesting, I have only used tubed highlighters so it will be fun to try, because I am all about highlighters! I also be getting a Malin Gotez lip balm I used some points on, so woot for extras!
I am happy Ipsy does these sneak peaks, it would be cool to be totally surprised too, but it is cool to get an idea of what you are getting a few weeks before you get it.
