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.

Today, I am over-the-moon ecstatic to feature an author who is very dear to my heart—Jessica Lewis, whose YA debut, BAD WITCH BURNING launches on August 24th.

This week’s post covers frame narratives—a literary device within the main narrative which serves to introduce a subplot, secondary narration, or an alternate point-of-view.

I’m honored to present my debut spotlight interview with historical romance author Royaline Sing, and her stunning debut, BETTING ON A DUKE’S HEART, which launched in April from Entangled Publishing’s Amara imprint.

Today, I am featuring YA author Justine Manzano, and her latest book, NEVER SAY NEVER, out now from Sword and Silk Books, about a teenage girl who has sworn off love…until the meddling goddess Aphrodite tries to change her mind.

Although weather as a plot element can easily fall into stereotypical cliches, it can also be an effective symbolic tool for the writer.

It’s always a pleasure to interview a fellow author who writes Gothic fiction. And today, I’m happy to feature Nicole Willson, the debut author of TIDEPOOL, a historical horror novel set in a fictional seaside town beset by an ancient eldritch curse.

Today, I’m so pleased to feature fellow Lake Union author Elissa Grossell Dickey and her debut novel, THE SPEED OF LIGHT, a compelling and suspenseful story about a woman living with multiple sclerosis.

Gothic and horror fiction often feature isolated locations, beyond the reaches of the familiar and comfortable.
