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. Their little daughter Julia is now three, and needs a mother, but Richard doesn’t want to think about it, especially when pestered about it by his well-meaning sister, Victoria. Haven’t they been doing well enough on their own? It’s not like he hasn’t had many chances to remarry—it seems … Continue reading →

Author Interview – Sandra Worth, on Writing and Lecturing

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. I think my right-side has atrophied over the years from … Continue reading →

Author Interview – Camille Marchetta

Today we are joined by author Camille Marchetta, who wrote the book “The River, By Moonlight.” I enjoyed the book and am glad to bring you this interview. Camille, thank you for joining us. Your book is set right at the start of World War I. What interested you in writing a book about this era? It’s always been a period that interested me, because of Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises,” I suppose, and Ford Maddox Ford’s “Parade’s End” Trilogy, and Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front,” books I read at an impressionable age. But, more to the point, … Continue reading →

Author Interview—Marianne Arkins

Today we are joined by author Marianne Arkins. Marianne, thank you for agreeing to chat with us today. On your site, you describe your books as “sassy, sweet romance.” Can you tell me a little more about that? The “sassy” comes from the fact that I have a difficult time keeping a completely straight face in my writing. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part my heroines have a little snark, or I have strange secondary characters or unusual pets. The “sweet?” That’s because, at least thus far, none of my stories or novels have fully consummated … Continue reading →

Media Week in Review: January 14th – January 19th

We had a lot of fun in Media Reviews this week. If you missed out, here’s a summary so you can see what happened. Tristi reviewed the modern classic “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith. The story of a poor family just before the outbreak of World War I, our main character is a girl named Francie. She has a rich imagination and loves to read, but her reading doesn’t disguise the fact that she’s hungry nearly all the time and must gather junk in order to help put food on her table. This book will make you … Continue reading →
