Newest book review now up!

Hello, Write Edge readers! I’ve posted my latest book review for you. Today I share my thoughts on Coleman Hill by Kim Coleman Foote, which I teased on Instagram for Friday’s #bookreviewpreview. Here’s the opening to my post:

That support leads to an impulsive decision that will turn the friends into enemies, and the consequences will fall down through generations. Author Kim Coleman Foote leans heavily on her own family’s experiences to create this “biomythography” in the well-intentioned but meandering book Coleman Hill.

Also, if you’re in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, area around October 20, come and listen to me talk about my own newest release, In the Heart of the Linden Wood. The rockstar mother-daughter duo of Olivia and Wendy, owners of Litchfield Books in Pawleys Island, SC, have invited me to do an author visit and talk on October 20 at the wonderful Caffe Piccolo just down the ways from the bookstore. Your ticket includes lunch at an amazing venue and the chance to ask me anything you want about books, writing, and publishing. Find out more by clicking here!

Have a wonderful rest of the day, readers!
