I recently met and enjoyed visiting with Idaho author Jane Freund, a prolific writer and local publisher. Jane wrote the book, Eggshells and Elephants that I am reviewing this month and so I thought sitting down with her and getting to know a little more about her was in order.

Interview with Kathy McIntosh
Submitted by Janice Hildreth on Sun, 12/30/2012 - 4:27pmImagine my horror when I rose from two bouts of illness in December to discover that the interview with Kathy McIntosh, author of Mustard's Last Stand that I reviewed on December 2nd, was not online as I had thought. They're right! Drugs are bad for you. My abject apologies to all of you who searched for it, but didn't find it. It is, as you will see, a delightful conversation with a funny woman.

The Christmas ereader battle: Nook vs. Kindle
Submitted by Rachel Bennett on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 8:04am, updated on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 11:43amIt took me a LONG time before I finally caved and bought myself an ereader. I was being stubborn and indignant about technology’s progress when it came to books. By golly, I would hold a physical book in my hand and read it or not read it at all!
That was silly.
