Which makes me even more delighted to be part of the blog tour. Check out the blog tour schedule here. There will also be a giveaway for one copy of Scars Like Wings […]
Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love is a short story anthology with diverse characters and food as an underlying theme. Each of the 13 stories are set in Hungry Heart Row and follow characters and locations that appear sporadically in each of the short stories. I absolutely loved how the stories were interwoven […]
