WOW! Women on Writing Book Blog Tour - Guest Post - by Kathie Girgio author of "Don't Let Me Keep You"

 I am excited to welcome Kathie Giorgio as part of the... WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING TOUR of Don’t Let Me Keep You  Let's begin with Kathie's guest post titled How To Write The Hard Stuff     “You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.” ― Allen Ginsberg   When you ask writers why they write what they write, you will get as many answers as there are to the question, “What is the meaning of life?” We writers write for every reason imaginable, and some of us change those reasons with every project, while others gnaw at the same bone our whole life through. And then there are writers like me, who basically just can’t keep our mouths shut. I’ve been called a “dark” writer, a “disturbing” (thank goodness not “disturbed”) writer, a “fearless” writer, an “honest” writer. Of them all, I like “honest” best. I tend to write about the things that people have very strong feelings about – and consequently, if they see something that defies that, they g...

5 Star Review for Michael French's "Ghost With Two Hearts" - A WOW! Women on Writing Book Blog Tour Stop

5 Star Review: Ghost with Two Hearts i s such an interesting book. I didn't really know what to expect but I loved the dialogue and characters and really enjoyed leaving the country and experiencing something new through my travels in Japan with Adrian. Like all good books do, this one transported me along with it's characters to an unfamiliar place. Thank you Michael R. French for your delightful writing! I've read many of Michael French's books and they are all incredibly different, yet one important thing remains the same, the attention to detail. French does a fantastic job weaving a seamless story whether the topic is a ghost love story set in Japan (like Ghost with Two Hearts ) or a murder in a small Texas town (like Once Upon a Lie ), French builds his story with well written characters, just the right amount of details, and all of the plot twists required to keep the reader at the edge of their seat. I feel engaged from cover to cover when reading anything writt...

  With the holiday season around the corner, a cozy Christmas read is just what we need to get into the spirit of the season!

Her desire to work her booth is ...

Book Review for Helena P. Schrader's "Moral Fibre"

  I'm excited to be part of  Helena P. Schrader's blog tour of Moral Fibre.  This is an exciting historical fiction novel that is perfect for people who are interested in an authentic portrayal of life in wartime Britain combined with high-tension action and moving romance. Thank you WOW! Women on Writing for including Bring on Lemons in your tour!  About the Book: Moral Fibre : Riding the icy, moonlit sky— They took the war to Hitler. Their chances of survival were less than fifty percent. Their average age was 21. This is the story of just one bomber pilot, his crew, and the woman he loved. It is intended as a tribute to them all. Flying Officer Kit Moran has earned his pilot’s wings, but the greatest challenges still lie ahead: crewing up and returning to operations. Things aren’t made easier by the fact that while still a flight engineer, he was posted LMF (Lacking in Moral Fibre) for refusing to fly after a raid on Berlin that killed his best friend and skip...
