Have you ever mused about the writing tense – past, present, or all of the little variations – when reading a book?

4.5 stars
Vivid, visceral, velvety – Ok, not that last one, I was running out of V adjectives. Though, this rather highlights the problem I have with George WB Scott’s book, I Jonathan, A Charleston Tale of the Rebellion: how do you review a book that swept you away?

I thought I would share something a little bit larger than an excerpt; one of the early chapters. Now, keep in mind while this is a full sample chapter, it is still an unedited draft and is likely to change before publication.

As a writer, I know the struggle over trying to create something “unique.” It is a pointless battle – supposedly there are only 8 truly original stories anyhow – and often in this pursuit, we lose something, and usually that is that we forget to author a delightful story. Francis Laurent by Schuyler Randall, has a setup that you may have heard before, but much of what it does, it does well.

July 6, just a couple days past Independence day, and I have something a little special for y’all: a guest post from author Cristy Bowlin, courtesy of Silver Dagger Tours. I haven’t read the book yet, but (not to judge it by the cover) it does look interesting. Besides, anyone that mentions their cat in their author bio is good in my books.
Be sure to drop by the other stops along the tour for more posts, reviews, and of course the giveaway!
