It is my great privilege to have Erin Blakemore visiting here on New Year’s Day to discuss heroic New Year’s Resolutions: On My List: A Heroic New Year One of the benefits of having written a book about literary heroines and kick-ass authors?

I really feel that 2011 is one of the most outstanding years to be a reader I’ve ever experienced. Everywhere I turn, there are more books I must read. With rare exceptions, those books released this year that I felt I had to read have not disappointed. I usually write about books I have read, [...]
Welcome to Sunday. I hope the day gets off to a bright and beautiful start for you. It’s not often that I post for the Sunday Salon. This week it’s a must. I was able to do something literary this week beyond reading – I drove to Fountain Bookstore in Richmond, VA to attend their [...]

I loved Kathleen Grissom’s debut novel, The Kitchen House. As soon as I knew she would be in my area, I made plans to see her. When I told Jaime from Confessions of a Bibliophile about the event, she agreed to come with me. Saturday was a blogger’s day out for me. We’ve been having [...]
