Cover Quirks

March 5, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

It's always exciting to get your first look at a new cover. Even if it gives you an odd feeling of deja vu.

4 Easy Paragraphs to a Helpful Review

January 22, 2015 By Cara Putman

Periodically, I'm asked to give tips on writing reviews. I'm always glad to help people feel more comfortable spreading the word about books they love. I love to tell everyone about books that I love...and now that I'm an author, I know just how much a well written review -- even if it's a few sentences can help authors.
