A Fantastic Review and An Author Interview

“A very insightful book from a debut author.  I look forward to reading more in this series and whatever else the author writes.” –Word to Dreams

The  consistency in all these reviews is how Enslavement departs from traditional dystopian literature. Yes, this is different. Very different. This isn’t set in a distant future, but one you and I could live to witness. What readers have said to me is that they’ve found it frighteningly plausible.

This interview was super fun to do because I got to share a lot about why I started writing, my literary influences and the pleasures and pitfalls of being a writer.

How Can You Argue With a Review From a Horse Person?

Today’s review comes from the On Writing and Riding blog. We all know horse folks are good folks, so how can we go wrong with a review from one of them.

“I enjoyed Enslavement and look forward to the next book. The editing and formatting were topnotch. The book started with a bang and the author did an excellent job building an unfortunately possible-sounding world. It was easy to make an emotional connection to the main character, Rielle, as she is torn from her family and essentially sold as a slave…” -Marlene Moss, On Writing and Riding
