Untamed Chapter 9
So now we have a vampire god and a vampire satan. That’s just great. PCK is one of those authors who thinks she’s clever because she said dark isn’t always bad and light isn’t always good. In a cap to … Continue reading

Chosen Chapter 12
I came to a realization the other day about the details in a story. It’s easy to pick on an author’s misunderstandings or lack of knowledge. Author’s, after all, aren’t going to be an expert in everything. While I might … Continue reading
