In the brave new world of publishing, few things are as valuable as the reader reviews that are posted on book and social media sites. That is a very good thing because it puts readers–not critics or the like–front and center in the process of selecting which books catch the attention of a lot of people. To that end, we are holding a contest to help generate interest in The Sleeping Night.
“A beautiful telling of forbidden romance . . . THE SLEEPING NIGHT is a refined, romantic tale. I imagine if Jane Austen wrote novels today, her stories would read a lot like Barbara Samuel’s.”
