The new anthologyĀ Snow Day by Shannon Stacey (ā€œHeart of the Stormā€), Jennifer Greene (ā€œSeeing Redā€), Barbara Dunlop (ā€œLandā€™s Endā€)Ā is just perfect and absolutely delightful!

Throwback Thursday: ISO some old favorites by Victoria Holt, Mary Stewart, & Phyllis A Whitney

image
After the brilliant success I met with last week when I went in search of some childhood favorites (Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, and Cherry Ames), I was highly optimistic about what I’d find when I went in search for some other authors who published primarily in the 1960s-80s.
