Mary on Inside the Character's Studio!

This week on Inside the Characters' Studio, Mary, the star of Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent.

Top 10 Romance Novels - Part I (Historical)

So, I've been promising a list of my favorite romance novels to Irish, Alea and Tiffany. As most of you know, I've been a little busy, writing a book that I hope will be on someone else's list of favorite romance novels some day, but now I am done (yay!) and ready to FINALLY make that list!
