Fantasy, dystopian, and everything in between books to fuel readers’ imagination
I know people who say, ‘I don’t read fantasy,’ meaning that they seek depth in their reading, and fantasy is not the genre that can provide them with such. I haven’t been an ardent fan of J. R. R. Tolkien or George R.R. Martin or, to be honest, any other prominent authors who have created... Continue Reading →

Over the years, we’ve talked with P.L. about his books and their hidden depths in blogs, on YouTube... Continue Reading →
“Mr. Darcy’s Complex Courtship” by Kelly Miller

So many times after rereading – yet again – one of Jane Austen books, I was left craving for more. More interactions between the characters, more dialogue where they express their...
