My hot reading streak in February and March turned into a reading slump in April. For a little while there, I couldn’t get more than a few pages into anything I picked up. I couldn’t even tell you guys what I tried to read at that time, because I didn’t make it far into anything(…)

Dear Ms. Shinn, I have long been a fan of your Samaria series (Janine introduced me to it), but hadn’t read any of your books in several years. When I saw that you had a new book coming out that wasn’t part of an existing series, it seemed like maybe it was time to get(…)

Dear Ms. Shinn, Once again I’m lost in the world of Samaria. Every time I pick up one of these novels, I feel transported to a different place and time. Some of the characters I like, others I despise but they all feel real to me. They have hopes, dreams, fears, plans. But let me(…)
