Publisher’s Weekly Fall Preview

Posted by on Feb 22, 2014 in In the News | Comments Off on Publisher’s Weekly Fall Preview

I was surprised and thrilled to discover that Simon Pulse included Compulsion in the Publisher’s Weekly Preview of hot fall titles. I couldn’t possibly have a better publisher! Here’s the link for all the great fall reads. Now pardon me for a moment while I fangirl out. Whatever his politics, Orson Scott Card has won the Nebula, the Hugo, and the Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement from the American Library Association for his work in Young Adult literature. The film adaptation of Ender’s Game was just...

I adored every page . . .  Beautifully written, (as with all of Martina Boone’s novels), I fell into this sweet romance set in Scotland and didn’t want to come out! I highly recommend LAKE OF DESTINY!

Martina Boone’s prose make this book more than a read, it’s an experience not to be missed. Lochs, magic, destiny, and yes, even recipes from the mouth watering dishes in the story await. Amazon Reviewer Leslie

A modern love story that somehow manages to hold on to that whimsical fairy tale essence. . . .  You’ve got a small village in a beautiful setting full of opinionated and somewhat quirky personalities, which the author writes exceptionally well. Not entirely unlike Stars Hollow (if your a GG fan & GG had men in kilts) the village and its people are delightful. . . . I enjoyed every moment! Goodreads Reviewer Amanda

The fabulous Jaime Arnold started off the two-week tour with a great interview. Here’s an excerpt: For the readers: can you give us a recap of COMPULSION and the characters?

But the plantation is haunted by the spirit of an ancient Cherokee witch, and other...

Persuasion Spotlight on Every Free Chance Books

Posted by on Oct 20, 2015 in On the Blogs | Comments Off on Persuasion Spotlight on Every Free Chance Books

Here’s an excerpt of the interview . . . Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.  Three plantations, two wishes, one ancient curse, and a girl who needs to find herself, find love, and heal her family. Why did you did you decide to write Persuasion? Persuasion is the sequel to Compulsion, and it’s really about what happens in the dark spaces when you think you’ve found yourself but don’t know how or when or even *if* you should fight for yourself when what you want conflicts with what other people want or need...
