On Sale This Week:
In today's guest post, Amy Bourret, author of MOTHERS AND OTHER LIARS talks about writing from the perspective of someone who is not you. Is it valid? Is it okay to do so? Of course it is. I say that from the perspective of a 70 year old retired steel worker living in a senior center in Florida. But seriously - I'm with you Amy! If the book is well written and makes you think what difference does it make that the writer has had a different life experience? Some of the most amazing books
When you’re down and out, you can usually count on your siblings, right? Unfortunately, Lia and Alice Milthorpe of The Prophecy of the Sisters series don't have it so easy. After their father's untimely and mysterious death, their sisterly bond is put to the ulimate test as the sixteen-year-old twins discover that they are next in a long line of sisters pitted against one another in the ultimate battle between good and evil.
Rarely is a human being solely a hero or a villian. No matter how they are characterized in history, most are human and therefore complex. In today's guest post, author Sara Poole talks about her new book POISON and it's more in depth look at one of the most powerful and nefarious families of the Renaissance period. If your book club loves historical fiction, I suspect there will be much to chat about with this one!
Lynn Shepherd, debut author and today's guest blogger talks about Austen, Christie and how they inspired her new book MURDER AT MANSFIELD PARK. This is one of those books that certainly stands on it's own for book club, but would also be great to do either right after Austen's MANSFIELD PARK or even both the same month if you're group is game. Yup... another one that I'm putting on my must read list.
This week, we've got an interesting set of new releases to help kick off the month of August (how time flies by!).

About the Book
No matter how fast you run…or how far you go…a killer always finds you… RUNNING SCARED --- the gripping thriller from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson.
The newborn baby boy is beautiful, perfect, and hers for the asking. All Kate Summers has to do is agree to one condition --- she must disappear from Boston and never breathe a word about the adoption to anyone.
Fifteen years later, Kate has built a good life for herself and her son, Jon, in Hopewell, Oregon. Still, she is haunted by the fear that he will somehow be taken away. Then Daegan O’Rourke arrives in town and strikes up a friendship with her and Jon. But Daegan has his own past to hide --- one with shocking ties to hers.
Someone is watching Kate, watching her son, and is willing to go to any lengths to claim him. And the one man Kate is tempted to trust has dangerous secrets that could change her world forever. Soon the past Kate thought she could outrun will explode, unearthing a legacy of lies and treachery, and a fury powerful enough to kill.
