A real perk of blogging about all things bookish has been the opportunity to meet new writers, to learn more about their writing process, and share in the joys of their success. One of my favorite authors/bloggers,Beth Kephart, has a new book, Nothing But Ghosts, being ushered into the world this week.
Luminous- that’s the word which [...]

Conscience Point
Posted in top of the stack on June 24, 2009 | 6 Comments »
