On Sale This Week:
In today's guest post, Amy Bourret, author of MOTHERS AND OTHER LIARS talks about writing from the perspective of someone who is not you. Is it valid? Is it okay to do so? Of course it is. I say that from the perspective of a 70 year old retired steel worker living in a senior center in Florida. But seriously - I'm with you Amy! If the book is well written and makes you think what difference does it make that the writer has had a different life experience? Some of the most amazing books
When you’re down and out, you can usually count on your siblings, right? Unfortunately, Lia and Alice Milthorpe of The Prophecy of the Sisters series don't have it so easy.

Rarely is a human being solely a hero or a villian. No matter how they are characterized in history, most are human and therefore complex. In today's guest post, author Sara Poole talks about her new book POISON and it's more in depth look at one of the most powerful and nefarious families of the Renaissance period.

Lynn Shepherd, debut author and today's guest blogger talks about Austen, Christie and how they inspired her new book MURDER AT MANSFIELD PARK.

Yup... another one that I'm putting on my must read list.
