Julie’s Review: I didn’t enjoy Demonglass as much as I enjoyed Hex Hall. I still liked it quite a bit though. The characters are interesting and I enjoyed getting to learn about Sophie’s Dad and all the Council stuff going on in England. The story unfolded in a similar way as Hex Hall, where we […]
Since I love discussion posts, and we do have our own weekly (for the most part) discussion feature here called Chat Between Chapters, I thought it would be a good idea to join in on the 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! How […]
Guest Post by Elizabeth Housden on Inspiration I wonder what it is that fascinates people so much that one is always asked from whence came the inspiration for it? It could be a painting, a piece of music, writing a novel or play or, for an actor, who inspired the role. Why should it matter? […]
How many books do you typically read at any given time? Do you ever get books confused? Is there ever a time when absolute monogamy (that is to say a relationship between one book and one reader) is required? Do your books ever get jealous of one another? Julie: When I read (which isn’t all […]

Lynn‘s Review: Let me just preface this review by stating that I’m a Christmas grouch. It’s not so much that I’m against Christmas as a religious holiday. It’s the over-commercialization that drives me crazy. But given that, I become an emotional puddle of goo around sappy, Hallmark-y, Christmas love stories. My True Love Gave […]
Interview with Lola Smirnova What was your path to publication of your debut novel? How long did it take to write Twisted? How about the sequel that you’re working on? It took me about two years to write it and one year for editing, production and publication. The knowledge and experience that I gained during […]
Genre: Historical Romance Julie: I rarely read historical fiction. I’m more into the fantastical or sci-fi worlds, and am not a good student of history anyway. I like my modern world and don’t really enjoy reading about wars or struggles without electricity. But when I do read historical fiction, it is one of those epic […]
