The Twelve(ish) Days of Authors – Day 7, Moira J. Moore

Next up is someone I’ve befriended on livejournal for several years, author Moira J. Moore. When I picked up her first novel, Resenting the Hero, I was expecting some sort of wacky slapstick.

The Twelve(ish) Days of Authors – Day 6, Allison Knight

Did we survive the Mayan Apocalypse? I hope so – I have a bunch more authors to blog about so as far as I’m concerned, if any other scheduled Ragnarok can be considerate and wait until at least January 9, I’d be ever so much obliged.


Today’s feature author is romance authorAllison Knight- she is joining Champagne with her novel, The Betrayed Bride, a contemporary romance novel which comes out in May. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a historical romance, you can check out her Song Trilog...
