In mid-August, I finished reading Romanov by Nadine Brandes. I’d heard about her books, but Romanov was the first one I ever picked up. I was trying to find a good book to get into, and when I saw that it was an Anastasia retelling, I knew that I had to read it immediately. As […]
Read MoreI found this tag a while ago on Fairy Tale Central (you can see the original post here) and I immediately knew that I wanted to do it someday. And since it feels like it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a tag (even though it totally hasn’t), I thought I’d go ahead and […]
Read MoreWell, we survived Camp NaNoWriMo, voyagers. It held a lot of unexpected challenges for me (such as revising my word count goal multiple times), but I’m really happy with how it went, for the most part. I wrote a lot of words and got to venture into a brand new world for a while. I […]
Read MoreToday, I have the honor of participating in the cover reveal for Brooke Riley’s highly anticipated sequel, United We Fall. I only recently finished reading How We Rise, but it was such a delightful and delicious little book. So, it truly is amazing to be part of Brooke’s squad of people who get to scream […]

Read MoreHello, my voyagers. I absolutely cannot believe that today is The Long Voyage’s two year birthday. These two years have just flown by, and it blows my mind that you all have stuck around here for this long. So, to celebrate, I’ll be reviewing some cool blog stats and then answering your questions that you […]
Read MoreI think a lot of us remember when we knew, for sure, that we wanted to be a writer. For some of us, this was a decision we made as children. For others, like myself, it was a decision made a little later, when God put all the right pieces into place. I don’t claim […]
Read MoreIt’s been a while since I’ve done any blog tags. But a few weeks ago, the lovely Ribbon Ash tagged me for the #WritingCommunity Blog Award. So, let’s jump right in, shall we? The Rules Display the award logo on your site. *points up* Link back to the person who tagged you. (I tagged her […]
Read Morethe world is on fire― kindled lava spilling over the edge. the amber flecks and onyx dust of last year glimmer faint. i yearn to watch sunsets fall along the burnt, charcoal horizons. but tonight, today, the vast sky remains void. where once rose a pale moon of starless wonder, there is only fire. crimson […]
