My response was a blunt, [...]
Karen Hawkins and Julia London are doing a joint blog today. Why? We don’t know, but hey, they offered, and we figured what the heck. Besides, they both have releases the final week of this month, which always makes authors ‘play nice.’ At least for a day or two. Whatever you do, keep an eye [...]
