		<title>Book Review- The Night Circus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Night Circus is not just a novel: It’s an experience. It’s like the book equivalent to watching Avatar or the ice scene in Dr. Zhivago. The magic of the circus setting and the Victorian style narrative creates an experience of decadence and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trouble with Genres</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Genre is truly a tricky thing. This all-important label helps not only to identify a novel but also the book’s intended audience. Without it, a book and its author could suffer a serious identity crisis. And, it was honestly one of the aspects of marketing my book that I struggled with the most. I’d written [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Liners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Progress on Silver Heat, the next in the Silver series, is coming along well. The outline looks good, several plot points have intricately woven themselves together for a happy narrative, and key scenes have been fleshed out. But, my happiest victory of late is the fact that I’ve constructed the all-important first sentence. I don’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review- Phoenix Rising</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Phoenix Rising by Philippa Ballantine My rating: 4 of 5 stars A fantastic gender benderIt’s about time! This book has a great combination of the hiss and gurgle of complex steam punk gadgets and a fantasy mystery. Books and Braun are a great mismatched pair. I referenced purchasing this book in my blog http://kaseyshoemaker.com/?p=261 because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review- Moon Called</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Moon Called by Patricia Briggs My rating: 5 of 5 stars Let me start by saying that what the Mercy Thompson series has done for urban fantasy has been nothing short of amazing. The protagonist, Mercy, is everything I love about heroines in fantasy. I almost didn’t buy any books in the series in spite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review- Blood Bound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Mercy Thompson series continues! Blood Bound starts off with a suspenseful, bloody, and more than a little twisted scene between Mercy, Stefan (a vampire to whom she owes a favor), and a vampire controlled by a demon. Awesome. In this installment, the reader [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review- Iron Kissed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs My rating: 5 of 5 stars Iron Kissed focuses mainly on the Fae, and for me, it was about time. Up until this book, the Fae were mentioned in passing but given little to no attention. The set-up for this plot element is that Mercy needs a distraction from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review- Bone Crossed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can’t get enough of Mercy Thompson! At the beginning of this series, Adam, the Alpha of the Tri-Cities pack, needed rescue. As the story developed, Adam was in competition for Mercy with another, older werewolf, the son of the Marrok. But, this book [...]]]></description>
