Backstories ~ A #QandA with author Simon Van der Velde #ShortStories @SimonVdVWriter #TuesdayBookBlog
I note that your publisher, Smoke & Mirrors Press describes Backstories as, ‘the stand-out most original book of the year’. Isn’t this just marketing hyperbole?

Introducing Rosie’s Review-A-Book Challenge #RRABC #BookReviews #Reading
Did you know that 99% of the reading public never post a review for a book? That’s quite a staggering percentage.
At Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team (six years and going strong!), we often look at ways to encourage more people to review. This autumn, Rosie has planned a Review-A-Book Challenge, with a great list of books to choose from, all free of charge to anyone serious about writing a review for her blog – and possibly joining the review team, if you enjoy the process.

#Extract from The Last Resort by Emily Gallo ~ Literary #Fiction @TheEmilyGallo
Today I have an extract from Emily Gallo’s recent release, The Last Resort. First of all, here’s what the book is about…
An old sixties musician and his trim mama run a pot farm in the Emerald Triangle of northern California and welcome an exonerated ex-con, a Las Vegas prostitute, a union organizer from the Bronx, an escapee of a sex slave cult, a retired carney with Parkinson’s Disease, and an old Mississippi blues guitarist down on his luck. Together they create a last resort, a modern version of home and family.
