Beautiful, clever, wildly imaginative This is a truly surprising book, although I’m sure if I knew the author better, it wouldn’t be. It’s beautifully written and delves into the reality of life with an emotional literacy that is absent from so much s ...more |

Breathtakingly beautiful This is outstanding: a world that runs parallel to our own, full of the graceless hypocrisies of men and the petty (and not-so-petty) cruelties of disempowered women. So, yes, it’s a story of power and its warping, but also of ...more |

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”

Manda,Thanks for the friendship on Good Reads. I have entered the giveaway for INTO THE FIRE. Fingers crossed.

Hi, Manda! I sent you a private message. Have a Fantastic Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!W.
Of course, I might also pre-order a copy of 'Into the Fire' and enter the other giveway. Whatever I do, I am still planning to attend one of your book signings.(two comments when I could have written everything in one? I definitely need coffee! :D)
I just entered the Goodreads giveaway for 'Into the Fire'. It's ok if I don't win, because I'm planning to attend one of your book signings.
Thank you.... glad to meet you (just finishing ABSOLUTION, sequel to NO GOOD DEED, which you may remember from an age ago. Hope you enjoy the Roman spy thriller series: they were enormous fun to write...
Hi, Manda! You've written some of the best crime fiction I've ever read! Good to meet you here! Have a great weekend! W.

Manda, I loved your comment in historical fictionistas. You sound like my kind of HF writer. You've been on my list to review but I haven't gotten to you. Any chance of getting an ARC and maybe doing an interview with the review. You can look at what I did with Bruce Macbain's Roman mystery both review (http://www.judithstarkston.com/review...) and interview (http://www.judithstarkston.com/review...) on my website.
Hi people - I only really just discovered GoodReads- looking forward to endless book recommendations...
Thanks for the friend request, Manda. Loved your Boudica series! Happy writing! www.danadaviswriting.com
