I love it when I find a sequel on Goodreads before it has popped up on my social channels.

If you read Earl’s Trip by Jenny Holiday and wanted more, a second book is coming next May! From Kensington.

Who doesn’t love a punny title? And aren’t those covers adorable?

Some trad publishers have decided readers aren’t in the market for historical genres.

I’ve already seen disappointing choices in #historicalmystery (two in this pic are firsts in series that weren’t continued by Berkley) and I am sad to hear that #historicalromance authors are experiencing cuts.

There’s a lot of discussion on bookthreads about publishers/agents saying historical romance is out because younger readers want romantasy. Does #booksky agree?

Why ignore older readers? I have way more time to read and more money for books now than I did when I was in my 20s and 30s.
