I’m a fan of her writing, so I’m thrilled that I was able to take part in this particular Lone Star Book Blog Tour. It’s a lovely read with a writing that just flows and wraps around your heart and pulls you in (and leaves you rooting for Jillian).

Lone Star Book Blog Tour: Wickwythe Hall by Judithe Little
Why yes, it’s another book blog tour, and one my little historical-fiction-loving heart is a pitter-patter over: Wickwythe Hall, by Judithe Little. Set primarily in 1940 England as Hitler invades France, it presents a view of the war from the perspective of the moneyed – one I’m not as familiar with – as well as a bit of English military history that I was both unfamiliar with and left speechless by. Does that pique your interest? Read on for more (and check out the giveaway!) WICKWYTHE HALL by Judithe Little Genre: Historical Fiction / WWII Publisher: Black Opal Books Date of Publication: September 30, 2017 Number of Pages: 324 *Foreword…

Bonnie and Clyde Dam Nation Book Release Blitz
Previously on this blog I shared a review of the wonderful novel Bonnie and Clyde: Resurrection Road which offered an imaginative tale of what-if — what if Bonnie and Clyde weren’t actually killed, but instead their deaths were faked and they were asked to assist the government? Sounds wild? The storyline was well thought out and creative, and I was sucked right in…and then left wanting more. Well, my wait is over as the next installment of Clark Hays and Kathleen McFall’s Bonnie and Clyde adventure is here – it is the release weekend for Bonnie and Clyde Dam Nation! Read on for more and follow along on my social media…
