About Sorchia

I’m S.K. Dubois—writer, editor, and unapologetic lover of all things wonderfully weird and magically delicious. I call the Missouri Ozarks my home, where the misty woods and mysterious hills inspire my tales of urban fantasy, paranormal mysteries, and otherworldly mayhem. When I’m not conjuring up stories, I’m helping fellow authors polish their manuscripts, especially if they involve magic, murder, or things that go bump in the night.

The tenseness in my body and the sadness in my soul are the results of more than the usual seasonal depression that I always […]

During the last Republican presidency (as I watched the U.S. grow scarier and meaner), I brooded, I cried, and I grew a cancerous tumor that nearly killed me. Inexplicably, the U.S. chose to put the same toxic energy in the White House again, but I like to think that I’m a wiser person now with an extended repertoire of ways to combat the stress and fatigue I’m feeling as I watch this round of chaos. So, all the things in […]

Murder and Motherhood! S.K. Reviews SUCH A GOOD MOM

This entry was posted in Book Reviews Books/Writing Mystery Novel Magic on

Such a Good Mom by Julia Spiro is a reasonably satisfying mystery with a message I found particularly poignant.

Was he involved with the dead woman? Did he commit the murder? If not, how can the evidence against him be so damning? The poignant part is the honest […]
