GIVEAWAY I recently had the opportunity to chat with acclaimed historical fiction author Clarissa Harwood about her latest novel, the gorgeous gothic romance, THE CURSE OF MORTON ABBEY.

It’s no surprise to me at all that Gothic fiction is once again trending, considering the state of current affairs in our world.
