Who Do Ya Like?

JayneLetters of Opinionbrand / Letters of Opinion2 Comments

HelenKay Dimon has posted an interesting article at Access Romance about the publishers that she likes. The ones she’s loyal to because they’ve delivered good books in the past and that she’ll take a second look at just because of who they are. An interesting concept raised by Ms. Dimon’s ... more >

REVIEW: Rules of Marriage by Wilma Counts

JayneBook Reviews / D ReviewsPeninsular-War / Regency EnglandComments Off on REVIEW: Rules of Marriage by Wilma Counts

Dear Ms. Counts, I think I’m all Peninsulared out right now. I used to love books using this setting but alas, like aristocratic English spies, it’s been done to death. I had hopes that your book would be different but once past the novelty of how the hero and heroine ... more >

REVIEW: The Adventures of Alianore Audley by Brian Wainwright

JayneB Reviews Category / Book Reviews / EbooksHistorical Romances / medieval4 Comments

Dear Mr Wainwright, Your debut novel The Adventures of Alianore Audley is a brilliantly funny, subversive spoof that shouldn’t be missed. Elizabeth Chadwick recommended this book on another list and it was well worth the effort to track down. I try to tell people to imagine a female Blackadder intelligence ... more >

Tsk, tsk Triskelion

JayneLetters of Opinionediting-problems / Triskelion20 Comments

Dear Triskelion, Earlier I wrote about the bad experience I had buying 2 ebooks from you. Now I’m sorry to say but the reading experience for one of them has been less than wonderful and it’s not due to the author’s voice or style. It’s due to your poor editing. ... more >
