Cry Havoc  opens with a teenaged girl arriving at a private school in decline, she’s enrolled herself to escape a terrible situation back home. Rebecca Wait creates MAJOR atmosphere to dial up the tension in this remote countryside setting where the teachers still insist on running drills just in case Russia nukes them. And the new teacher’s a man. Plus, there’s the usual teenage girl drama and an actual school play. Then a mysterious illness begins ravaging the girls. Basica

Author of a range of historical fiction, Lauren Small’s curiosity comes from her thirst to understand how we got to where we are today. Her stories focus on the experiences of everyday people living through enormous events and she explores the roots of discontent, migration, and hope in her new novel Radegonde and the First Crusade . In a sweeping adventure that’s part road trip and part coming of age story, a girl from rural France joins the First Crusade with her brother an

Wildwood, Amy Pease’s sequel to Northwoods, gripped me from the first scene when a young woman is discovered missing. We chat about her fictional setting of Shaky Lake, which is based on Wisconsin’s Minocqua resort area. The formidable Sheriff Marge North and her son Elia again team up with Alyssa Mason, an FBI agent from Chicago to investigate why and how an undercover informant disappeared. Their search leads them to discover terrifying secrets about a local rehab clinic. L

Bestselling writer Bruce Robert Coffin started writing following his storied career as a police detective sergeant in Maine. His mysteries are fast-paced, action-packed, and gripping from the first page. We discuss his new series featuring Detective Brock Justice, the fun he’s having bringing Justice (both literal and figurative) to different locations around the state of Maine, and the secret to how he writes such strong female characters. Bitter Fall yanks readers’ attentio

I blinked hard the other day when I saw the calendar. How was it only January 11? It felt like February 20. I'm not built for so much stuff happening at once, my mind cannot process it. Obviously when the world gets crazy, it makes sense to hunker down occasionally and re-calibrate so the stress levels don't go totally bonkers. For me that means writing a new book, and readers, I AM OBSESSED with this project. I'm closing in on 48,000 words this week (which means nothing to

Award-winning children’s author Ross Montgomery wrote a killer read for grownups after getting inspired by Halley’s comet trip over Cornwall in 1910. Deploying the humor and criminal elements he gleaned from watching Clue as a kid, The Murder at World’s End delivers a plot twister of a mystery when servants and family members and scientists and lunatics converge at Tithe Hall in anticipation of the apocalypse.

It's that time of year when people start talking about making resolutions, but I don't because I think they suck. Resolved means "firmly determined to do something." A resolution is "a firm decision to do or not do something." Decisions doesn't mean squat in my book. Making a decision is as pointless as making a wish, it's just thoughts and words which are meaningless without action and effort. Decisions don't mean anything actually changes. I'm a woman of ACTION because s

Team Testosterone wrapped up in Christmas spirit My kids are grown up now and as a consequence, Christmas has lost a lot of its magic. No more concerts and programs and activities. No decorating cookies or tree together this year. No awe at beautiful light displays or joyful singing. There's less anticipation. There's less hope. On one hand, this season requires less work and feels calmer. On the other, I'm wistful and a little sad. I guess that's what we do as parents, we en
