Hello, Readers!

Earlier this month, my husband and I went on our first cruise. We started in Istanbul, then stopped at Troy, Ephesus, Rhodes, Crete, and finally, Athens. I’ve wanted to see Athens ever since my high school Western Civ course many, many years ago. It didn’t disappoint! A few photos can’t do it justice, but here are a few highlights anyway!

Istanbul from the boat:

Ephesus:

Palace of Knossos, Crete:

Acropolis, Athens:

Part of my interest in the Greek islands is a fascination with Greek mythology. Retellings are having a moment (again) and my blog is full of recommendations for these. I’ll highlight two backlist books since one of my favorite subjects is the Trojan War (Greeks vs. Trojans) and we got to see Greek ruins and the excavation site at Troy.

Vacation is over, and I’m back to work on my next historical romance series, coming out beginning in August from Dragonblade Publishing. In the meantime, why not have a look at my first series, The Taverstons of Iversley by Carol Coventry?

If you enjoy my books, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads, Bookbub, Amazon, or your favorite reviewing platform.

Happy Reading!
