Blog postWhen you combine this apprehension of the unexpected with ever-advancing technologies, it is plain to understand why screen time has a bad rap, though it might be undeserved. However, several of the negative tales regarding screen time that parents are fed are mostly based on anecdotal evidence.
The maximum impact of screen time on growing young minds, whether positive or poor, have yet to be discovered. Moreover, since there are so many factors that may influence brain function, obta -

Blog postEveryone knows that it is important to potty train a child but when is the right time to do it? The answer – it depends. You may find the answer quite disappointing, but it is the truth. You may hear a friend and even your sister brag about how they potty trained their child at an early age and feel like you fail as a parent when your child is not yet potty trained.
Your child’s readiness to go through potty training depends on several factors, including your child’s personality, age, -

Blog postWelcome to my stop on the Suzy Approved Book Tour for Trophy Life by Lea Geller.
I had such fun reading Trophy Life. Lea’s writing is warm and witty, like talking with an old friend, which is something you’ll find in this story too. In my reviews, I leave the summaries to the back cover copy:
For the last ten years, Agnes Parsons’s biggest challenge has been juggling yoga classes and lunch dates. Her Santa Monica house staff takes care of everything, leaving Agnes to focus on -
Blog postI liked this book so much I have two copies–paperback and I selected it as my March Kindle First selection. You’ll be able to love it with only one copy.
I’m Fine and Neither are You is Camille Pagan‘s fifth novel (I’ve read them all). One aspect of the story explores a topic I’ve been fascinated with: curated perfection. Penelope’s best friend is an online influencer with a “perfect” life, especially in comparison to Penelope’s messy one. But Pagan shines a light on how hard jugglin -

Blog postThere are three kinds of guys: forks, knives, and spoons. That is the final lesson that Amy York’s father sends her off to college with, never suspecting just how far his daughter will take it. Clinging to the Utensil Classification System as her guide, Amy tries to convince her skeptical roommate, Veronica Warren, of its usefulness as they navigate the heartbreaks and soul mates of college and beyond.
Beginning in 1988, their freshman year at Syracuse University, Amy and Veronica mee -
Blog postOne of my favorite things about being a writer is meeting other writers. It’s been a joy getting to know Maureen Joyce Connolly and reading her debut novel, LITTLE LOVELY THINGS, out April 2, 2019. An abduction novel that asks the question, how do we rescue ourselves after extreme tragedy?
Look for my full review on BookReporter.com later this month. Now, here’s your chance to get to know a bit about Maureen.
What did you learn about yourself while writing this novel? So many -

Blog postRom-Com Combines Beautiful Friendship, Quirky Dating Advice by Anne Eliot Feldman
Leah DeCesare’s debut novel Forks, Knives and Spoons (SparkPress) is a fun, fast-paced story that evokes both comedy and heart as a single dad sends his only daughter off to college with some last-ditch birds-and-bees advice.
…
One thing I really enjoyed about this book was the frequent appearance of soothing yet honest parental pushes about the need to value oneself, seeming to echo DeC -
Blog postHappy Pub Day to Heather Frimmer! Her debut novel, BEDSIDE MANNERS, is available today.
I’m happy to share my chat with Heather in celebration of her big day. I was honored to have read BEDSIDE MANNERS early to blurb it. And now, let’s meet Heather.
Meet Heather Frimmer Besides being a writer, do you have another job?

Blog postSee below for how you can win a copy of Unbroken Threads.
It’s such a privilege to be a part of the Suzy Approved Blog Tour for Unbroken Threads. I had such fun getting to know Jennifer Klepper at a writer’s conference last spring. We hung out with a wonderful group of Women’s Fiction Writers Association members, chatting about the craft of writing and traipsing around Boston on a hunt for cannoli.
First – a bit about Unbroken Threads:

Blog postMy copy of KATERINA is underlined and dog-eared. It left me crying on the last page and wrenched emotion from me on every page. I loved returning to James Frey’s writing style from A MILLION LITTLE PIECES (which I will now reread). It’s poetic and powerful, breaking the rules of grammar and punctuation — which I find artistic, bold and freeing.
If you’re not one for swearing or crudeness, be forewarned, this book is loaded. I’d actually love to see a word count for the “F” word — may -
