Virtual Author Events
by Susan Roberts
In this day of social distancing and stay at home orders from our government, most bookstores and libraries have been closed. The result is that there are no author events and authors are struggling to get the word out about their new books. The outcome is that there are lots of virtual book tours, Zoom meetings, and podcasts. In the last month, I have interacted with more and different authors than I did by going to in-person author events. Here are a few of my favorite author events and podcasts. Please let me know if I've missed any of the good ones so that I can check them out.

The Banty House by Carolyn Brown ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
Fans of Debbie Macomber and Nancy Thayer will enjoy Carolyn Brown's latest novel The Banty House.
Change is a good thing.
Kate Carson wished she had the person who had first said that by the throat. She'd choke them until their face turned blue and then slap them for being that color. She didn't like change. First her little town had lost its post office, and then the saloon was blown away by a tornado adn the cotton mill went out of business. All that had happened in the past fifty years, and just two weeks ago, her hairdresser had up and dropped graveyard-dead. (p. 1)

Scandalous Passions by Nicola Davidson ~ a Review
by MK French
Lady Janet Fraser, the former mistress for King James IV, is considered Scotland's most notorious sinner. This is because she often gave in to pleasure, and currently, that would include Sir Lachlan Ross, an intimidating man that has ties to the king. It also winds up including the convent raised Lady Marjorie Hepburn, who wants to be taught everything about the marriage bed. But all three have to answer to the king, so indulging themselves might be politically dangerous as well as emotionally.

The Prisoner's Wife by Maggie Brookes ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
I love historical fiction based during WWII and my favorite stories are based more on fact than fiction. So when I saw The Prisoner's Wife by Maggie Brookes, I knew I had to read it. It has been one of my most anticipated reads on my TBR list.
