These 6 Novels from Lawyers-Turned-Novelists Are No Joke!

I didn’t actually leave my 13-year litigation career to write novels; I left to catch my breath. I had a New York City legal career that largely resembled the rumors. Long hours, expensed everything, temper tantrums (only some of them my own). While I was catching my breath during a…

10 Books with Completely Unique Magic Systems

Nothing gets me more excited to read (or to write) than a unique, thought-provoking magic system. Magic is the granule that started the fantasy genre, in my opinion, and it’s the reason I picked up my first speculative novel — to be able to experience something new and different; something…

7 Books That’ll Lure You Into the Shadows

There’s something intoxicating about stories where the line between reality and something more slips just enough to make you question everything. Books where the dead whisper, the air hums with unsaid things and the uncanny becomes ordinary. Whether you’re drawn to girls with dangerous gifts or towns steeped in secrets,…

Because Motherhood isn’t Always Flowers and Breakfast in Bed

Mother’s Day usually shows up dipped in pastels and wrapped in performative gratitude, but motherhood? That’s another beast entirely. It’s brutal. It’s sacred. It’s messy, fractured, feral. And if Sigmund Freud taught us anything (besides the fact that therapy is expensive for a reason), it’s that the mother-child bond is…

7 Books About the Heroes No One Believed In Until It Was Too Late

The world never saw them coming. These aren’t stories about chosen ones. There were no prophecies. No royal blood. No mentors handing them a sword and saying, “It’s your time.” Most of these characters were told they didn’t matter. That they were too weak, too poor, too strange. They were…

In conversation with a fellow reader recently, I asked if she had read the novel Stoner by John Williams. “Oh yes,” she replied. “I’m in the cult.” Oh! While I don’t think all the fans of this book are busy with secret rituals, there are I suspect, fewer of them…
