Some novels don’t just tell a story; they sing. Emilia Hart’s second novel, The Sirens, is one of them — a lyrical, evocative tale that sweeps you into the salty winds of the English and Australian coasts, weaving together history, myth and the unbreakable resilience of women. Following the success…

Alice Henderson — wildlife researcher, eco-warrior and author of heart-in-your-throat suspense-filled thrillers — has just published The Vanishing Kind, the fourth in her Alex Carter series.

If there’s one thing I’ll never tire of, it's stories that celebrate strong, resilient female characters. There’s just something about a story where women lift each other up and face life’s chaos together that reminds us, the reader, of the power of friendship and its ability to heal the soul.…

Some authors can tell a sad story but render it beautiful. That’s what Bobi Conn observed when she started reading books while in graduate school at the age of 27. I would take it a step further and count Conn herself among those authors. Conn documented poignantly the harsh realities…

Marcy Dermansky is my favorite author this week! She makes me laugh, she makes me think, and I now am spending time wondering what preposterous thoughts are in other people's minds (or even my own mind) that are not shared! In Hot Air, there is a first date, a bad…

When was the last time you were fully immersed in a book? When you looked up from the page and took a moment to remember where you were, when the last time you drank water was, and wondered, since when had the sun gone down? For a lot of us,…

Within the first few pages, I knew I was going to love Direbound by Sable Sorensen. This book — the first in a new romantasy trilogy — gripped me early on and didn’t let go. Direbound has all the best romantasy tropes: slow-burn romance, enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, “who did this…

Shara Moon is making a mighty splash with her debut in historical fiction: Let Us March On. The novel introduces a broader community of readers to Lizzie McDuffie, one of America’s “hidden figures”, who made a quiet difference in the early Civil Rights Movement by way of having the ear…
