    Review: Hook’s Revenge by Heidi Schulz

    October 21, 2015 / No Comments

    Hook’s Revenge by Heidi Schulz Genre: Children’s Publisher: Disney Hyperion Date: September 15, 2015 Jocelyn Hook isn’t an adventurer. She’s a pirate and anyone within her general radius knows it. Her father, the famed Captain Hook, left behind a map to his treasure and she’s not about to let anyone else get it. Not her father’s enemies or the enemies she’s managed to gather throughout her short lifespan. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always give you exactly what you’d like, so Jocelyn’s trek manages to get off her preferred course pretty quickly. In fact, at one point, she even manages to meet her long dead mother when she’s a teenager. It’s Neverland after…

    Confessions of a Non-Comic Book Marvel Geek

    April 30, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Confession: I’m not a comic book fan. I’ll start this whole article by stating that point blank. I’m very up front and honest about that no matter what sort of geekery I am spewing at the moment. I need to underscore that right now though because the geekery I’m planning to discuss is Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) related. See, about five years ago, I never ever would have imagined even going to a comic book themed film in the theaters. I grew up with DC heroes front and center for me. Superman and Batman were all over my television and in movie theaters and when I became a teenager/young adult,…

    Moms’ Night Out Movie – Review

    March 21, 2014 / No Comments

    Recently, I had the opportunity to attend an early screening of the new film, Moms’ Night Out. You may recognize some of the faces in the film, like Sarah Drew from Grey’s Anatomy and Patricia Heaton from The Middle. I’ll admit that putting Trace Adkins and Sean Astin in the film with these ladies was what intrigued me. Then I watched the trailer and I was hooked. Still, as I prepared to go out to the movie, I had some reservations. Christian films haven’t always been able to compete with secular films in the marketplace. Usually, from a story perspective, I’ve found that it’s because it’s so hard to reach…

    Homeschooling facts in the U.S.

    January 23, 2014 / No Comments

    We’re constantly being asked really odd questions about homeschooling our kids. (Do they leave the house? Do they visit with other kids?) I find it fascinating the perceptions that people have of us. This infographic was amazing for the facts and revelations about homeschooling so I thought I would share it. I had no idea about many of these things! Source: TopMastersInEducation.com

    Who is the target audience on YA books?

    January 21, 2014 / No Comments

    I’m supposed to write a review of this book. I’m struggling with it honestly. I’ve written tons of reviews, but this one has me completely stymied. “Why?” you may ask, “Was it a bad book?” No. Actually it was really good.  REALLY good. There was a lot of suspense and some really great plot twists. It was full of serial killers and crime scenes that would make the writers of CSI and Criminal Minds salivate with delight. My problem with the book is that the target audience is 12-18 year olds. I’ll let that sink in again. The book about serial killers that I just finished reading was targeted to…

    God’s doing a new thing and He doesn’t want you to miss it!

    November 21, 2013 / 2 Comments

    See, I am doing a new thing!     Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness     and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:19 I’m not a theologian by any stretch of the imagination. I love God’s word. As a writer and a book reviewer, it’s not surprising that I love words. The Bible is rife with gorgeous stories and word pictures. If you haven’t read it, even if you aren’t a Christian, you should give it a try. The Psalms, the prophets, the history…it’s amazing. But sharing this love of God’s word with my kids hasn’t always been as easy as…
