Guest Post: It ain’t heavy, it’s my romance by Ainslie Paton
Some romances are designed to read like sunshine and lollipops, some to please with sass and snark, or comic situations and big laughs. Some show the storm clouds. Like a lot of authors, I write romance in part to explore issues that interest me. Sometimes that means showing the darker underbelly of storm clouds. I’ve written a mentally ill hero who was homeless, a male nanny, a female executive in a male dominated industry, a tech titan who got sacked from his own company for being a Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath
The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading
