Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield.
She wrote The Thirteenth Tale which I totally gobbled up within a few days. This one is much slower, but I'm going to keep with it.
Have some exciting news that I can't really share TOO publicly, so I'll just give the abbreviated version: I sold my novel to a major publisher, and am currently working on edits. I wrote this novel 5 or 6 years ago, and my agent had a tough time selling it, so I shelved it. That being said...
Writing is such a wonderful way to document our lives, and to make sense of the world. It never needs to be seen by eyes other than our own. I journal, and have for more than 20 years.

I don't usually re-read books. I think there are far too many books out there to read that I don't want to waste time reading ones I've already read! Ha! That being said, I've been thinking about re-reading Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series as they are so well done and have a wonderful way of...
I'm reading a friend's novel that was published just this month called In the Shadow of Dora about the slave labor used by the Nazis to make the V-2 rockets. About halfway through and it's quite wonderful.
