Hooray for the super-helpful fellow from Telstra who replaced our line. When he pulled the cable through the wall, it came out frayed and unconnected. Turns out those cute little possums running around my roof aren't so cute... or possums. But good news - I can blog again!
I've been itchin' to get on and tell you about the book I received in a book blog draw - signed and sent by the author!
The Seeker by Ann H. Gabhart
I felt so special receiving this book in the mail with a lovely inscription inside!
This novel is a romance set during the unrest in Kentucky during the 1860s and looks at politics, slavery and the Shaker's way of life. The protagonist is a headstrong young woman determined to get her way, despite the infuriating men in her life.
I've never read a novel featuring Shakers before, so I couldn't wait to get into it! I'm finding the history fascinating, but the droplets of lust and passion from the protagonist are also drawing me in. This is such a change from the books I've been reading lately (YA dystopian), that it's quite refreshing.
Ann Gabhart also has a great writer's blog, worth checking out:
I'm also watching the follower numbers grow! When I reach 200, I'm planning another book give-away competition. So... watch this space. :-)
