Happy 2nd Anniversary Electric Eclectic

Two years ago, I was approached by fellow writer Paul White with a proposition. He had an idea. He wanted to bring quality books to readers.

Events! Events! Events!

August has been a hectic month for me. In fact, I’ve barely had time to read.

Accompanied by my PA, Kathy, we spent four whirlwind days meeting other authors and readers, selling and signing books, and I even got to speak … Continue reading Events! Events! Events!

Using humor, Hausmann shows readers what NOT to do when writing … Continue reading “BAT SHIT CRAZY Review Requests: Email Humor” by Gisela Hausmann

I recently reviewed the fourth and final book in The Troubadours Quartet, a historical romantic adventure series by award-winning author Jean Gill. “Song Hereafter” is a beautiful conclusion to a remarkable tale set in the twelfth century. I was fascinated by the names of many of her characters who come from different countries and cultures.
