Review: Tainted by Morgan Busse
Tainted by Morgan Busse Genre: Steampunk Publisher: Enclave Date: April 15, 2016 Kat Bloodmayne is an unusual young woman. With intelligence far above the average person, let alone female, she is one of the first women to be accepted into the study program at the Tower.

Radiant Lit, Caged No More, and other sundry things.
Hello all! It’s been a WHILE since I have been in touch here and I apologize for that. The past few weeks have been incredibly crazy and we’ve had an insane number of things all hit at once!

I have been, for the…

Do you have a ministry rate?
I’m going to say something controversial here. It may bother some people but it’s something that’s been on my heart for a while. Over the course of my business, I’ve worked with a variety of groups from ministries to Forbes 500 corporations. And there’s something that happens within the Christian realm that you really don’t see elsewhere. They want a deal. Now not all of them across the board and it’s not always huge, but it’s there. I can’t tell you the number of times that I’ve been told because I want to work for a ministry, I need to lower my rates. But not my service. These ministries want…
