What are You Reading?

April 26, 2018 By Cara Putman

As a voracious reader, my to-be-read pile never stops. Literally it is towering beneath my desk and next to my bedside...and on a bookshelf. And you get the idea! I love books too much.

It’s Edit Letter Time!!!!

January 11, 2018 By Cara Putman

This may sound crazy, but I got the best email. It was my edit letter on my next book. Delayed Justice will release later in 2018, and I've been on pins and needles since I sent the book in to my publisher and new editor in November. The holidays and life has the edit coming back to me now. [Tweet "@cara_putman talks about edit letters and why authors (and readers) should love them. #amreading … [Read more...]
