What fandom makes you geek out the most? (A book, movie or TV show) MB: Yes, swoon! We all get way too into our fandoms here at.

GD: Again a 50/50 split between Notting Hill and The Lakehouse.

It’s pretty much 50/50 between two older novels: The Pearl by Mary Balogh and Ravished by Amanda Quick. MB: This book promises some romance! Describe it in five words or less! GD: Gilene is a woman dying by degrees inside, torn by a sense of duty and a resentment of her obligation to fulfill that duty toward an ungrateful people who don’t any value in her as a person beyond her obligation to them. What else can you tease about Gilene and her choices? MB: Love it! The main character in your book sacrifices herself to save the other women of her village. The world itself is reminiscent of the time just prior to the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of pastoral nomads as significant military powers.

Grace Draven: It’s a story of two people facing some pretty overwhelming odds to not only survive but also grow and thrive in a world that’s doing its best to crush them. Meg Bonney: What can you tell us about your latest novel, Phoenix Unbound? Here we will chat with an author about their work and theirįavorite fandom things! This edition of LGL will feature Grace Draven, author of PHOENIX UNBOUND! She breaks down some of the characters in her new book, what she’s reading now and gives some excellent writing advice!
