Creator of the Book Lust Rediscoveries Series at Amazon Publishing


Interview Starts at 18:01



These books in the Rediscoveries series, they have very little in common, if anything, in terms of plot. They have very little in common in terms of setting. There are going to be two books set in Montana, but everything else is–who knows where they’re set? They’re not similar at all. The thing that they have in common are the things that I look for in a book, that I love, which is characters that I believe in and can understand or try to understand, and wonderful writing.
