Excerpt: Changeling by Philippa Gregory
Mel and I often talk about historicals and how well they translate in YA form. I have to admit, I haven’t tried that many to have a decent opinion, but I know Mel hasn’t been a big fan, to date. But, I think there’s one woman out there that will sway both of our opinions on the matter: Philippa Gregory. I’m excited to share with you the just-released excerpt from her new YA series, Order … Read entire article »

Lou said, “Want to see the best-looking new hole in golf?” He tilted the magazine toward Karen on the other side of the king-size bed, two feet of mattress between them. Karen didn’t say anything.
