edit data

I am Virginia Williams, the granddaughter and editor/publisher of historical author Patrick John “Stanley McShane” Rose. I published six of his manuscripts. In an effort to market and promote his books, I began a blog called Rosepoint Publishing and currently share reviews of several books per week with the CE. I welcome review submissions using the Submission Guide on my website. I also submit our reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, and Kobo, as well as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts.
