…. or The Days Between Holidays I remember when I was doing my various newspaper columns these few days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve were always a little strange.

Instead of a review, I thought I would recommend some books if you have readers on your holiday gift list. These are some of the books I’ve read this year – or hope to read next year – as well as a couple from writers I’ve become friends with online. First on my wish list
Instead of my usual Friday fare on the blog, today I’m pleased once again to help a fellow author celebrate the launch of a new book. I’ve known Donna Fasano via social media for some time, and read several of her books. She does tell a good story, and here is her latest, which is
