Cover Reveal: Laid Bare 

I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review. I know that this wasn’t exactly a Holby City story. And, actually, I quite liked the characters in this story much much more than a lot of the characters that I’ve seen in the clips of Holby City. But, still, I definitely pictured that hospital while I read this book. As I said, though, this novel is so much better than what happened on the show. Cassie is a former Army Major and her entrance into the story was one of my favorite parts of the novel. She’s a Trauma Surgeon and up for Head of Trauma. Veronica is the head of AMU and a general surgeon, although at the start of the novel she feels like she’s more a pure administrative person every day. Then Cassie enters the scene and both their lives are changed so much as they get closer and closer. Oh, and then there’s a doozy of a subplot. Who’s trying to take down Cassie and why. That one kept me guessing just enough to make it enjoyable too. There was a bit more American bashing here and there than I like to see (Actually, pretty much all ERs and EDs in the United States can’t just turn down a person in distress and that’s why so many of the city ones are in such dire financial straits because they do serve you no matter if you have insurance or not). Thankfully, that sort of thing was just thrown in there by the characters here and there and wasn’t a constant thing the characters were harping on. It was a fun book, and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Today’s piece is from an author whose book we get the pleasure of reading this month in our book club. If you’re interested in reading Chasing Stars then you’re always welcome to join us, otherwise keep on reading to learn more about Alex’s writing process and involvement in the fandoms.

A little piece about fandom culture (and how my book came about)

There’s been an interesting shift in fandom culture over the last few years. At the risk of sounding like an old woman sitting on my porch, yelling at the “youths,” I will say that things were different in my day. Significantly, fandom was a hush-hush word. A place you’d visit at one am on the family computer in the living room after your parents went to bed. That’s not to say that there was anything dirty or taboo about it, but you seemed to instinctively know that the first rule of Live Journal (and then Tumblr) was that no-one talked about Live Journal (or Tumblr) — at least, not the real world.
