The Shift: Movie Review

Coming out of hiatus briefly because Derek and I went to see The Shift the other night and I feel like I need to talk about it!

It’s been a while since I did a movie review.

Honestly, it’s been a while since I saw anything worth reviewing.

Know the Novel 2023

Well… I started writing this in October… does that count? heheh

Better late than never, I guess.

It’s time for Know the Novel! And this year, I’m talking about something other than the Turrim Archive!!! (try not to faint)

Know the Novel is an annual blog tag hosted by the marvelous Christine Smith as a place to talk about the stories we are working on.

Flash-back with me to Christmas, 2010. Grant had an idea. A vision. A dream of a family publishing and production company that would come together and work towards the publication of my books and the production of Brittany’s music. We would combine our talents, work towards a common goal, and create family-friendly entertainment together.
