The Home for Wayward Writers, New Blood

Book Review: Salt by Liz Shipton
Today I’m veering off the normal promo posts path because I recently read a book (in one day) that just blew it out of the water.

Y’all! We are getting ever closer to release, and I am so excited! Cover reveal is coming very soon. Look for it probably this weekend. Today, though, let’s talk about Nichi.

The Song of the Sparrow Excerpt/Character Spotlight: Santino
Hello, all! Today I’d like to share another character spotlight with you. Today we’re going to talk about Santino di Veneto. Santino is the oldest among the Murder, significantly so for some of them.
