And just like that, we’re two months into 2022 already π³ How has your year been so far, friends? Mine’s going, and it’s going fast, but that’s just how life is sometimes, right? Gotta ride with the tide and all that. π Anyway, here’s a recap of what we’ve had going this February! π
Newsletter Launch
If you’ve been here long enough you might’ve already figured out that I have a very “just do it” attitude (π) and that’s pretty much what happened with my newsletter. Without much fanfare I officially launched Mornings With Marie earlier this month, and with it I hope to bring love and fun to other authors and readers alike! π
By signing up, you’ll get exclusive access to my new short, Crescendo, as well as a special offer for custom book covers. Plus links to writing resources and opportunities. And a puppy pic. See, it’s a sweet deal! π

Book Reviews
After the craziness of December and January, I’ve finally taken a stab at my reading pile again! π₯³ I’m slowly working through my review requests + Scripts and Reviews stash, my book tour review copies, and those I’ve picked up from Twitter #writerslifts or BookBub deals.
These were what I finished and reviewed in February:
- The Showstopper by Kyle Robertson
- From Fame to Ruin by Jina S. Bazzar
- Greek Heir to Claim Her Heart by Jennifer Faye
- Tablay by Katrina F. Olan
- The Iron Crown by L.L. MacRae
There’s one more book (The Future Chosen by Mina V. Esguerra) that I really wanted to read this month, but I took a few days off to visit my brother and also spent a good chunk of my February trying to finish the first draft to the Hotel Fen sequel, so yeah, I fell a little short π But next month, for sure! πͺ
#FebruarySheWrote
My favorite part of this month was definitely #FebruarySheWrote! π It was a blast learning about the event and discovering new authors and new books. π₯
Anyway, here are the links to all the author spotlights we had this month:
- Ashley L. Castillo
- Casie Aufenthie
- Catherine Dellosa
- Catherine Mellen
- Des M. Astor
- Elliott Wink
- Ginnine Josete
- Harmony Kent
- Joan Hall
- Joie Belasoto
- Katrina F. Olan
- L. R. Hay
- Lucy A. McLaren
- Marcia Meara
- Meri Benson
- Rachel Hailey
- Rebecca Lemke
Tomorrow we’ll officially welcome March with a list of upcoming releases, while my newsletter will be out on the 3rd with another free short and some other goodies for authors π But if there’s anything apart from the usual that you’d like to see this March, please do let me know! I’m here for you, friends! π₯°
Got a book you’d like me to review or an author you’d like me to feature? Drop me a line! π You can also subscribe to my newsletter for free short stories, special offers, and writing opportunities.
I cannot believe weβre on the last day of February already! Good luck with all your endeavours, Marie. Have a wonderful week, everyone ππ

Thanks for sharing your interviews for February, Marie. Somehow I missed Marcia Meara, and I HAD to pop over and leave a comment as she’s one of my favorite people and authors.
I, for one, am happy to say goodbye to February. In my part of the world it’s been unbearably cold, and March places us one step closer to spring. YAY!!!!
