Buffy's Ramblings

Thanks to Wickedly Innocent Promotions for hosting this blog tour. I'm sharing a little about Mireille Chester's Eggnog Kisses today. Happy reading! ***************************** It’s been six months since Kaley’s fiancé called things off, disappearing with barely an explanation, and the thought of spending Christmas alone is causing feelings of hurt and loneliness to ruin her holiday cheer. Tall, dark, quiet, and ever the gentleman, her next door neighbor has been sneaking into her thoughts more often than not lately. When she decides to ask him to go to a Christmas party on a spur of the moment whim, she has no idea she’s about to unleash a whole new dimension on her usually normal life. Born in Quelondain, Sean is no stranger to a broken heart. Though it’s been years since the one he loved fated to his best friend, the ache is still present and crossing over to the other world hasn’t helped like he’d hoped it would. When Kaley asks him to accompany her to ...

Somewhere among my travels along the internet, I stumbled across Mirelle Chester and her work. I grabbed Crossover and even have a copy of Tyler's Story (that I will be reviewing as soon as I can), but it was actually her Angered Seasons series that I first tried. It's such a fun little series! I have reviewed books 1 and 2 , with 3 on my ever increasing TBR list! Read on for some insight into her writing and other works. Loads of fun, this one is :-) What got you started in writing? I think it was mostly my love of getting lost in books. I’m a big fan of reading a story and forgetting where I am. Writing is the same but in a way, better. I get to make up where I want to go. It’s fantastic. What inspires your stories? So many things! Sometimes I have dreams and I wake up thinking, wow! That needs to be a story. Sometimes it’s just the idea of a character. I can picture him or her and it’s usually in a scene of sorts and I just know I have to see how it c...

Recap: Gabby and Lane have been best friends for most of their lives and they’ve been through hell together, but nothing could have prepared them for what Mother Nature had in store for mankind. All the natural disasters and global warming were Her way of warning humanity, but no one listened, and now it’s all about survival. Title:   The Worst Birthday...Ever Series:   Angered Seasons Book #:  1 Author:   Mireille Chester Approximate Book Length:   60 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   16+ Sexual Content:   Mild Thoughts: Reading the blurb, you know that you’re going to experience a story of friendship through an apocalypse setting, but I was still pleasantly surprised when things got going. Nothing about this story is quite what you’re expecting, from the weather anomalies to the character relationships. The excitement, whether it be normal human emotion or action on the city streets, is ever present and you’re left wanting to...
