  • REVIEW AND INTERVIEW: K.A. Schultz on her new books, GÖTHIQUE and KHRYSTMASS

    The words, “If you love the horrific lyrically delivered, this book is for you” were used to describe K.A.

    The year 2022 is upon us. In my mind, however, it should still be early 2021, but time is ever elusive and waits for no one. In 2020, I set my eyes upon a total of thirty books. This last year, in 2021, I read only fifteen. No clue what happened. I enjoyed amazing work,

  • REVIEW: The Outlaw’s Ransom Enchants the English Countryside

    The Outlaw’s Ransom by Jennifer Ash is the first in a series of books written under the Folville Chronicles umbrella and it doesn’t disappoint. This hot, galloping tale follows the travails of young Mathilda, daughter of a local potter who lives in the English countryside, as she is yanked from a loving family and thrown to a clan
