Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound | Kobo Review I am always looking for one more historical fiction author who can transport me to another time and Sally Christie has filled that slot. With The Enemies of Versailles she has taken me to a time a place that is not typically on my […]
Amazon | iTunes | Kobo | Smashwords Review It is hard to read Madame Presidentess by Nicole Evelina and not make comparisons to Hilary Clinton. Like Clinton, Victoria Woodhull has a fight song and in every aspect fought tooth and nail. Madame Presidentess is beautifully told with the author showcasing Woodhull’s life in […]
Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound Review The Munich Girl by Phyllis Edgerly Ring is an elegant historical fiction novel of Eva Braun.

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-a-Million | IndieBound Review The Secret Language of Stones by M.J. Rose is a ghost story of historical proportions.

Fond Of The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M.J. Rose has a fantastical plot that grabs you from the get go and made for a very quick read. It reminded me a little of The Wizard of Oz. The Ruby necklace Sandrine constantly wore attached itself to her like Dorothy’s rubber slippers, with sparks […]
