Heaven’s Embrace: A Story of Sorrow and Faith

I love a good short story, especially when it’s impactful. Kathy van Staden with Kim Appelgryn deliver a true story about grace, faith, and tragedy. Heaven’s Embrace: A Story of Sorrow and Faith is a thought provoking piece that combines real life events with musings of spiritual intervention.

How to Review Poetry

I currently have a blog post about how to write good and constructive reviews for stories, but what about poetry? Poetry can be a little tricky for me to review because it usually reflects a deep emotional connection with the writer.

Writing and Mental Health

For those of you who don’t know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Inkitt made an announcement about it a while back and are even hosting a contest for books that place mental health at the forefront. I thought it would be a good time to talk a little bit about the benefits of writing on one’s mental health and share some of the experiences that I’ve had.

As an avid gamer and writer, I thought it would be a perfect time to address the big issues subtly poked at by the game Split Fiction.

Love in the Time of Serial Killers

So buckle in, because I’m about to take ya’ll for a ride down this rambling rabbit hole of a mess Thompson created.

New Inkitt Story: Infectious

Wren Gallagher was among the first to become infected in an effort to save her sister and boyfriend from a destructive virus that turned the world into a wasteland. Rounded up for a government experiment over 4 years later, Wren receives a trial cure to her affliction, but once rehabilitated, she can never leave.

Flying Back to Innocence

This was another book recommended to me on my writer’s lift on Twitter. Flying Back to Innocence by Stephen Vega takes on some of the toughest and politically debated topics of our current times. Needless to say, I have a lot of thoughts and I think that’s exactly what the writer was going for. Here’s my review.

Don’t Fade Away: A Ghost Story

Could you imagine being stuck in the same house you died in? That’s exactly what happens to Elle in Natalie Pearce’s Don’t Fade Away. This quirky book was pretty enjoyable to read and a little emotional. Here’s my review.
