Reblogged from You Read It Here First:

I had the opportunity to interview James Lawless, a poet, literary author, teacher and philosopher. It is fascinating to explore other points of view in this vast literary universe and for those readers who enjoy more textured writing than is commercially available, they may find a kindred spirit in Mr. Lawless.

(I would recommend readers check out his ebooks and read the samples; it’s easy to get a sense of the flavor and rhythms of his work from the first few paragraphs.)

This week my review of the memoir The Summer Called Angel (about a couple’s journey through preemclampsia and two premature births) was published on Blogcritics and my interview with the author, Sola Olu, was published on You Read It Here First.

Also my review of Elizabeth Chadwick’s historical fiction (with romantic elements) Shadows and Strongholds was published on The Romance Reviews. This was my favorite book of the week.

My interview with Sola Olu marked the hundredth publication of my career. This weekend I’ll dig out the archives and share my first few publications on my blog.

Hello!

I have two projects (Notes at Midnight, a poetry collection, and The Searching Star, a children’s story) that are now available to read on my beta reader’s forum: For My Readers.

This is usually a private blog because otherwise the works are considered published and I would like to sell first rights – by having it open for only a month though, I think it’s still in beta-reader territory.

Thanks for your support and encouragement!
Joanna
