SWAN SONG, a mini-review

Swan Song by Robert McCammon

On the edge of a barren Kansas landscape, an ex-wrestler called Black Frankenstein hears the cry…"Protect the Child!"—In the wasteland of New York City, a bag lady clutches a strange glass ring and feels magic coursing through her—Within an Idaho mountain, a survivalist compound lies in ruins, and a young boy learns how to kill.

New release date, reading, & foreign cover fun

The Icing on the Cake, a True Vows Reality Based Romance, by Alison KentSo . . . I haven't been around much lately, though I'm sure I don't have to point that out. After getting THE ICING ON THE CAKE written and turned in mid-April, I had revisions and page proofs and copy edits and two other rounds of questions / corrections to do.
