All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
―Carl Jung
General Update
Lately, I've just been writing, reading, and trying to get healthy again. One of my main focuses this past week has been beta reading for a fellow independent author that I connected with on Instagram, Ada Marlowe. You may rememeber me mentioning her book, Withered by Shadows. One of the things that frustrates me about romantic fantasy is that I tend to root for the couple when they're in the process of getting together, but then they only frustrate me once their a couple. I'm well into beta reading Marlowe's sequel and I am SO relieved to say that's not the case here. And the best thing about reading such an amazing story? It motivates me to write even more!
My Book Pick of the Week
1930s Boston spring fashions are to die for.
When a talented dressmaker discovers her original designs being sold as cheap knockoffs at Whitaker's Department Store, she turns to her sister for help. But before they can uncover who is stealing the designs, the investigation takes an unexpected turn. The young salesgirl who modeled one of the stolen dresses in the store's spring window display is found the next morning—posed lifeless among the mannequins.
As the sisters follow the thread of the stolen designs, they unravel a web of greed and desperation stretching from the elegant sales floor to the sweatshops of Boston's garment district. With a detective in the family leading the official case, the women pursue their own quiet investigation into the world behind the counter. In a city where the Depression is pushing people to their limits, the truth may be stitched into secrets no one wants exposed.
