Happy Friday, all! I have been deep in the double-deadline vortex, finishing up the new Team W book and fighting my way through the middle of the Cuba book, so I went back to my favorite sort of comfort read: British mysteries, both new and old.

Weekly Reading Round-Up

Happy Friday, all!  It’s been a whirlwind week in the double deadline vortex: working on both the Team W book and my own current book.  But it was also a week of some highly satisfying light reading. After finishing a particularly grim thriller last weekend, I felt in need of some happy comfort reads, so…

Happy Friday, all! I’ve finally been reading through some more of the Books Many People Have Said I Must Read, starting with Tia Williams’s Seven Days in June, an utterly engaging contemporary romance served up with a strong slug of social satire as a successful writer of erotica (heroine) and a celebrated author of Serious…
