My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, I had an absolute blast writing this with my best friend and fellow author Lauren Lee. We both have wanted to collaborate on a project for some time and finally had the bright idea to put together a serial. It was the perfect opportunity. It would give us a chance to navigate the trials of co-authoring without the wordcount investment of a full-length novel, and it allowed us to think long term. We wanted to create a binge worthy project. Something we could put on KU and get readers the way a Netflix show entices viewers.

Into the Storm is a post-apocalypse adventure. Odd-numbered episodes follow my protagonist Jakobe and even-numbered episodes follow Lauren’s protagonist Lexa. There are plenty of settings, easter eggs, and overlap to show our characters are in the same world, and of course, there will be the inevitable crossing of paths but it’s been such a unique experience being able to focus on one aspect of the world knowing someone else is there to have my back. If it’s not too lame or corny to say it was pretty cool.

I really look forward to completing our first season (10 episodes) and am excited to see the kind of feedback it gets. I really hope you find it entertaining and would love to talk to any of my readers about it.

Review: Running in Circles

Running in CirclesRunning in Circles by Lauren Lee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oy vey

Not for the faint of heart. Running in circles is a highly entertaining, thrilling, and disturbing tale about a small town monster.

The style of the text weaves flashbacks and present scenes seamlessly, creating a full narrative that ties everything together in the end.

I’m nervous about giving spoilers so I’ll give a warning not to read on from here.

The development of the sherif is what really makes this book stand out. Filling out his whole life story is what really makes it special. There is some tension over the course of the book where you’re left asking who the killer is and are led to believe it’s other characters but the author always left clues that pointed back to the true killer.

While the plot is important what makes this book so memorable is it’s pro/antagonist.

What you will be left thinking about when you finish is just how easily monsters can live amongst us.
