Dear Ms. Sookoo, Off the top of my head, I can’t recall reading any Hanukkah stories so when DA was offered your book for possible review, my ears perked up and I took notice. Though I’m not Jewish, I thought it would be fun to read something different from the mass of Christmas themed books(…)

Dear Ms. Jemisin, Earlier this year I read your debut fantasy novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, and enjoyed it quite a bit. So when it came time for your sophomore effort to be released, I made sure to request a copy. The Broken Kingdoms is the second book of the Inheritance Trilogy, of which The(…)

Dear Ms. Navarre, Your bio says you write darker Renaissance era books and the dark theme plus Tudor setting are what attracted me to “Devil’s Mistress.” Oh, and the Italian heroine is an added bonus. I’m always on the lookout for books with other-than-English heroes and heroines. Nothing against the English mind you, but it(…)

Right after that it dropped off their site and the possibility of an ebook seemed to vanish into thin air. Don’t know what happened with that but when I spotted it in my(…)

Church thinkers like Saint Jerome announced that carnal relations were "filthy" even within the bounds of holy matrimony: "The wise man should love his wife with cool discretion," Jerome opined, "not with hot desire- Nothing is nastier than to love your own wife as if she were your mistress." So writes Tony Perrottet in the(…)

Dear Ms Pattillo, I am delighted to meet up again with Betsy, David and the good people at the Church of the Shepherd.

Dear Ms. Pattillo, I noticed the review for this book while I was watching DVDs of Dawn French’s British comedy about a female vicar in the Church of England working in a small country village. Some of the obstacles that French faces are also ones that crop up in this book. The heroine, Betsy Blessing,(…)
