My friend, Sarah Shoemaker, wrote this exquisite book, which is set in England late in the reign of George III (1760-1820). Our June 2017 Free Book edition is a new hardcover. Author Mary Sharratt praises MR. ROCHESTER: “Prepare to be swept off your feet by Sarah Shoemaker’s stunning MR. ROCHESTER. As one of countless readers…
This month I’m delighted to feature an incredible coming-of-age novel by writer/cinematographer Corey J. Maloney. In an elegant and gritty narrative, THE LEMONADE STAND introduces readers to Jack Newton. Maloney presents Jack as both powerful and powerless and has chosen the perfect “voice” to convey his main character’s view of life. The tough rhythm in…
One of the great perks of writing books has to be the “on the road” aspect. My husband Neil and I have a dorky habit of beginning our journeys with a quick rendition of the Willy Nelson song, “On the Road Again.” (I warned you we were dorky.) On this particular trip, though, I flew…
I have been remiss about blogging these past few months while my husband and I moved from our log home to a smaller place, easier for us to maintain and yet still close enough to our parents to continue our roles as caregivers. Although I cut back on blogging, I did my very best to…
