Thank you for joining us for part two of our conversation with author Sandra Worth, who wrote “Lady of the Roses.” If you missed part one, click here to catch up. Sandra, may I compliment you on your writing — your tone is smooth, your descriptions are beautiful. Yet I notice your education is in economics and political science. You’ve obviously developed both the right and left sides of your brain. Do they ever war with each other? First, thank you for the compliment! I’m delighted you feel this way.

Author Interview: John Shors

Today I’m delighted to bring you an interview with the author of “Beneath a Marble Sky,” John Shors. John, thank you for joining us. It’s a pleasure to have you here.

His Shadowed Heart – Hazel Statham

A while back, I had the pleasure of reviewing another of Hazel Statham’s works, “My Dearest Friend,” and also of interviewing the author herself. Today I review “His Shadowed Heart,” Hazel’s latest Regency romance. Richard Moreton, Earl of Waverly, is still in mourning for his wife, Elizabeth, who died in childbirth.
