With a sword swallower as a father and a repentant chanteuse for a mother, it's no wonder Carolyn Burns Bass became a writer.

Carolyn has written nonfiction for magazines for more years than she cares to admit. She has published short fiction in several literary journals. Her short story "Sketches Past and Present" was a finalist for the Eric Hoffer prize for fiction and is featured in the 2013 Best New Writing anthology published by Hopewell.

The Bronte sisters have always fascinated Carolyn. When Blue River Press asked if she would be interested in writing a middle grade biography of the famous literary sisters, she jumped on it. ALL ABOUT THE BRONTE SISTERS will be available at bookstores and online book sites beginning November 2, 2020.

The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
"Nice idea, but terribly bad book.

I was intrigued by the start of the book. Anthony's fiancée died suddenly and on the same day, he lost a keepsake she had given him. The timing made the loss feel like losing Therese twice, and in the decades since, h" Read more of this review »
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
" DNF@60%

I cannot believe this was written in 2017. It actually blows my mind that this was written a mere two years ago. It reads like something written by my granny's granny or maybe Rosamund Pilcher. Every single character is a walking cliche, as " Read more of this review »
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
"Any book that has that many superlatives on its cover (and back, /AND/ special fold-out page) should be approached with caution, especially if one of them is the Daily Mail and another OK! magazine. But I was willing to give it the benefit of the dou" Read more of this review »
