Book Talk...9/28/15

Book Talk…9/28/15

Traci Krites

1. Josette by Kathleen Bittner Roth. Zebra Books 2015. Netgalley. Josette who is born in the swamps of New Orleans has loved one man her entire life. Though she lost him to her scheming sister, when their lives intersect again due to a daughter he has never known, sparks fly. Alexia needs a firm hand and Cameron Andrews must learn how to be a father and how to heal his broken heart with her aunt. This book started a little slow for me but it picked up in speed and steam!! I enjoyed reading about the Cajun lifestyle, the deep, abiding love this family had for one another, even when one of their own turned against them. There is a depth to this book that didn’t quit and I enjoyed the ending tremendously. I will definitely be on the lookout for other books by this author!!

Writerly Things...9/21/15

Writerly Things…9/21/15

Traci Kenworth

Hello. Changing the blog here a little bit. It’s too hard for me to keep up with a larger number of links, so I’m going down to 3s and 5. This change will give me more time to focus on writing. I’ve been trying to cut back a while on things but well, this week just proved to me, I’d rather focus my energies on writing. After all, that’s where my goals aspire. So, I’ve started researching a historical romance. I’m doing the backgrounds of the characters at the moment as well. I hope you can support me in the adventures to come. I started doing the links while studying my craft and I fully intend to continue that, just post less links. There comes a time when you have to do what you can to support your dreams. Wish me luck.
