Guest Post by Heather McCollum + Giveaway
Good morning, book lovers! This morning I hope you’re ready to take your romantic hearts back to a time long past, to place where honor was strong, and passion was stronger–that’d be the 16th century Scottish highlands of Heather McCollum’s HIGHLAND HEARTS series! We’re pleased to welcome her today to tell us a bit about what captures (and challenges) her about writing the stories in this exciting series. Let’s give her a warm BLI welcome.

Thank you so much for having me here today! I’m very excited to talk a little about Highland Heart (HH), my short novella that was just released by Entangled Publishing.

Yes, HH is a short novella. After I had finished writing CH, my wonderful agent found an opportunity …

Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! For this edition we have news on Stephen King’s 99c Kindle short essay on guns, Lance Armstrong’s lawsuit due to his biography and more YA books being picked for greenlit for pilot season as well as more book news.
Stephen King has published a 99c Kindle short essay due to the recent shootings in the US and approaches on what can be done to tackle these issues.

He explains in his essay that ‘My book did not break [these teenagers], or turn them into killers; they found something in my book that spoke to them because they were already broken.
