Doing Due Dilly Dilly Diligence for Faux Medieval Fantasy

Posted on March 5, 2018January 13, 2020 by caitreynolds

If you know me at all, you know I get a bit twitchy when it comes to what I like to call ‘faux medieval fantasy.’ It’s not that I have a problem with dragons, magic, or even princesses-in-disguise (okay, well, yes, I have a problem with that). What makes me turn into a biter is…

Why I Canceled Kindle Unlimited

Posted on June 19, 2017 by caitreynolds

It’s the start of a new blog – sort of. File it under “The Sort of Thing That Only Happens to Cait.” It began with going to my blog and seeing that all my images had disappeared…and ended up learning more about Bollywood porn spammers than I ever wanted to. Long story short (because I’d…
