Step into the Story Monthly Roundup!

Aug 31, 2024

Hey everyone! If you didn’t manage to watch our videos this month, here’s a recap!

Barb was joined by Emily York (@thebookdistiller) and Sydney Young (#HFChitChat) and they discussed my new release, WHEN THE WORLD FELL SILENT. I was of course absent for the show and watched it after – and loved what they had to say about the story. Watch the replay on YouTube!

Then Barb and I spent a gorgeous half hour talking with Denny S. Bryce about her latest book, THE TRIAL OF MRS. RHINELANDER. There are so many layers to this book, all radiating out from a central story about Alice and Lenny Rhinelander, their marriage and subsequent divorce. You can catch it now on our YouTube channel, and go ahead and subscribe while you’re there! We have two great shows coming in September!

This month at STEP INTO THE STORY we chatted about some fabulous books! To catch up on our highlights:

Our Book of the Month Book Chat was THE PHOENIX CROWN  – check out our discussion on YouTube.

On March 26, Sara Ackerman joined us for our Featured Author Interview to talk about her latest release, THE UNCHARTED FLIGHT OF OLIVIA WEST. Sara was utterly lovely and you can watch our broadcast here.

I did a One-Minute Review of FAST GIRLS by Elise Hooper on Facebook – this title is part of our 2024 Reading Challenge and it was lovely!

And Barb highlighted CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS, the new book by Denny S Bryce and Eliza Knight about the friendship between Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe.

Have you joined Step Into The Story?

Feb 4, 2024

Did you know I’m a co-host of a group called STEP INTO THE STORY that features mostly historical fiction? My bestie Barbara Tanner Wallace and I run a monthly book chat, interview featured authors, do video reviews, and post tidbits about history and historical fiction in our Facebook group, on Instagram @stepintothestorybooks , and on YouTube! For example, in January we read Jenni L Walsh’s new book UNSINKABLE, as well as interviewed Glynis Peters on her latest in her Red Cross Orphans series, THE ORPHAN’S HOMECOMING. This month we are reading THE FROZEN RIVER by Ariel Lawhon – our chat is coming on the 13th – and our featured author is Embassie Susberry, the author of CODE NAME BUTTERFLY, which is a story about Josephine Baker!

We would love for you to join us, share what you’re reading, and maybe even participate in our 2024 Reading Challenge! All the details are in our Facebook Group!
