Update!

It's been a while since I logged on and did a blog update.

Honourable Mention!

Hey!

I received the CoffeePot Book Club Historical Fiction Book of the Year Honourable Mention for THIEVES' CASTLE!

That's amazing, especially given the week I've been having so far.

Thank you Mary Anne Yarde and @coffeepotbookclub!
