Happy New Year! If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I am now using the name “Aubrey Reiss Taylor.” This is something I’ve been toying with since I began writing and I finally decided to go through with it.

Author D.T. Powell on “The Myth of ‘The Other'”

Last year, I shared a heartfelt post about my beloved character, Christian Richter (you can visit the post here). Like me, author D.T. PowellContinue reading “Author D.T.

Book Review and Reflections: The Last Hours in Paris
I have a confession: I have a very, very hard time reading a lot of the World War II fiction out there.

When it comesContinue reading “Book Review and Reflections: The Last Hours in Paris”

But even without such turmoil, real-life romance can be tough to keep alive. Today, I am excited to welcome author,Continue reading “The Romance of Fun: A Guest Post by Author Jennifer Slattery”
