Travel While Staying At Home

420 Views

author Edie Cay drinking out of a mug with a raised eyebrowThe #pandemiclife has gotten old for all of us. With Spring on its way, everyone is aching for being in the Great Wide Open, or at least, the Great Wide Not My Living Room.

Until then, historical fiction has got you covered. Want to go to Spain? How about New Orleans? A little Time Travel thrown in? Sure, why not?

I’m a part of a historical fiction author’s collective–it’s a way for writers like us, who are passionate about history and love a good yarn to come together and pool our resources. Sort of like carpooling, but for reading. We have a free offering up in our store right now, just the first chapter of our original founding members’ books and works-in-progress. It’s an easy download, and available for any e-reader. We ask for your email address because we’re nosy and curious, not because we are going to do anything with it. In April, we should have another volume with our new members’ work in it too! (in other words, more free stuff).

Come by and check out our free First Chapters Collection at: www.paperlanterwriters.com/store

You can also sign up for my newsletter for a free download of the first chapter of my next book, A Lady’s Finder, a queer historical romance set in Regency London, starring Lady Lydia’s younger sister, Lady Agnes. Lady Agnes is an expert embroiderer, a consummate wallflower, and a connoisseur of men’s work boots.

 

 

Edie Cay writes relatable misfits in Regency London. Her award-winning steamy historical romances include A Lady’s Revenge and The Boxer and the Blacksmith. Find her at:

Happy April! April showers bring may flowers, but it also brings the bunnies back to our yard to nibble on the clover. Sometimes it is a battle because the honey bees love sipping from the clover blossoms, too! What do bunnies and blueberries have in common, you ask? Why, they both start with the letter B.

In my mystery novel Dog Grant Me, Cuban flan plays a memorable role during a pivotal dinner scene at Friar Lake Conference Center. As food anthropologist Yesenia Ubeda explains to her students, this beloved custard has ancient Roman origins, born from egg surpluses that clever cooks transformed into smooth, delicate desserts.

My love affair with California began at the tender age of fifteen and continues today, over four decades later. So it should come as no surprise that the book of my heart, which ultimately became the Chances Trilogy, as well as Christmas in Tahoe and my new release, Sierra Fall, are set there.

I am so excited to let my readers know that on April 17 Netflix will air Ransom Canyon based on my book of the same name.
It stars Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, and James Brolin. I wrote Ransom Canyon in 2015 about the state I love. The book is about a small town nestled between huge ranches and small farms--a place where love runs deep and forever.

The Laredo series began with an old ballad, "Streets of Laredo" and the sad image of a wounded, unidentified Confederate soldier. When I first wrote Boone Wilson's novel, "The Legacy of Boone Wilson", I intended it to be a standalone novel but Boone and his brothers, including Ezekiel, didn't listen.

Easter makes me think of colorful plastic baskets filled with yellow peeps, candy eggs, a chocolate bunny and jelly beans. Sometimes it was a cute little stuffed bunny. We all had our favorites, and Cadbury eggs were, and still are, mine.

Award-winning author David A. Anderson took some time this week to answer a few questions about his debut novel, The Drowners.

Tell us a little about your YA Watty award. What year did you receive it and what was your Wattpad experience like?

2021. The crazy thing is I almost didn't enter that book. I had another story, Bright Midnight, that was getting attention from Wattpad's editorial staff.
