Crystal of My Reading Room graciously gives TCC a 4.5 out of 5:The Circle Cast was a fascinating look at what Morgan's life might have been like in the early years and I loved every minute of the book. Mr. Epstein's writing was great, he dove right into the mind of an adolescent girl in early Britain and brought out this marvelous story of her life as she traveled in a foreign country and navigated their customs as she fought for her life and plotted and schemed toward her own revenge and getting back to Britain.Thanks, Crystal!
Meanwhile, on Patricia's Particularity, I talk about historical fiction and what you owe to history when you write it.Labels: blog tour

I've guest-posted at Mission to Read about What Mythology Means to Me. I'm talking about how human beings are hard-wired not just to learn language but to see the world through stories, and what that means about our myths. You might find it interesting.Labels: blog tour
