The Memoirs of Katie Shea Madd....

SJ McClanahan

A woman recalls her courtship at the edge of antebellum Tennessee.


**Please don't back this book. I only have it here to get feedback from other historical fiction/romance writers. Thanks!**

Set in 1860 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a young planter's daughter, the second of four, is the next to marry, but the decision has been made for her: marry an older man from a scandalous family, or her father loses their plantation.

 

The Proposal (or: Why Kerry Me....

Hana Bathir

A bipolar sorcerer takes his girlfriend and a "borrowed" spell to get a dragon's treasure.


I'm a little nervous, which is a feeling I go to great lengths to avoid.

There's an outside chance that this might not work, but it probably will. Either way I'm fine with it. I'm not really nervous about the dragon, so much as will she say yes? And also what's-his-name, that one wizard, wants to kill me. It's all over money, anyway. If we get eaten, the debt issue will be the last thing on my mind; if I get the treasure, I can pay him back, and everybody's happy, right?

HFRG Review of Gone for a Soldier by Kathy Kelly Garlock I can't help but agree with the other comments that this is a well-written and promising piece of work, but in my own words I must say that I'm very impressed with how you have taken a real phenomenon and built such a captivating story.

HFRG Review of The Greek Maiden and the English Lord Hi, Patty! I have to say: you've done an excellent job with titling and cover art. It's intrigued me for a long time, and I'm so glad I joined the HF group so I can have a good chance to just sit and enjoy it. I think you've done a wonde... view book

HFRG Review: Gunpowder by Daniyal Ahmed I've only read through chapter two thus far, but from what I can tell you have a good premise and talent. However, I agree with one of the reviews that mentions the benefits of more research. As I'm sure you know, King James English (especially in the b... view book

HFRG Review: Rosalia by Hannah Gridley For the past few days--in every spare moment--I've been reading this story, and can't wait to get back to it.

Club Nora Review of "Borrowed Light" by Olive Field This is so well-written as a memoir I find it hard to believe that it's fiction. The world and the history are concrete and engaging. Your use of accents and the lyrical approach to the narrative made this distinctly Irish, which drew me firml... view book
