Lena reviews A Dying Place by Emma Johnson-Rivard
There’s an almost theatrical quality to A Dying Place, Emma Johnson-Rivard’s rather bleak fantasy story. In terms of setting and structure, the novel functions as a play and it speaks to Johnson-Rivard’s strengths as a writer that she’s able to let the characters sing through that format. The book opens with Ama’u, a veteran ofRead More

Women Float Virtual Book Tour: Kit reviews Women Float by Maureen Foley, plus audio excerpt from the author

Danika reviews Sisterhood by Julie R. Enszer
