We have the pleasure of showcasing the beautiful visual imagery from J.M. Hackman’s debut novel, Spark, today on Quills & Inkblotts. There’s so much to look at, so much to savor, we hardly know where to begin. First of all, check out this cover! Is it gorgeous or what? We got the insider scoop on […]
I hate praying out loud. Call me crazy, but I’ve always been terrified of it. The moment I hear the words “Would you like to pray?” I usually break into a cold sweat and immediately begin planning out a speech, word for word, in my head.

We are proud to be a part of Julie Hall’s blog tour today. Life After HUNTRESS No one’s afterlife is as dispiriting as Audrey’s―at least that’s what she believes after waking up dead without her memories and being promptly assigned to hunt demons for the rest of eternity.
