Hello writing and reading world! It's been so long since I've blogged. What with all the fabulous new authors I've been working with this year already, I actually can't believe March is next week! But, I have some fun stuff planned for the next couple of months with plenty of interviews and cover reveals and book releases and other author news. So please stay tuned and join in the awesomeness that is the writing world. :) 

Today, I'm kicking off a new author interview series called THE BEST AND THE WORST. A bunch of fab book peeps will be popping by to share with you their list of best and worst. It's quick, it's fun, and should hopefully help you get to know these guys so much better! Importantly, I want to know if you agree with their choices or maybe you're the complete opposite... Leave a comment. 

First up, I'm delighted to introduce you to...
TAMARA MOSS!

​Lintang dreams of having adventures on the high seas. When a deadly mythie attacks the same day the infamous Captain Shafira visits her island, Lintang gets her chance, defending her village with a bravery that earns her a place on the pirate queen’s ship.
But they’ve barely left the island when Lintang discovers her best friend, Bayani, has stowed away. Telling Captain Shafira means betraying her friend, but keeping Bayani’s secret risks everything . . . including their lives.

'A wonderful book with deliciously unexpected twists and turns, and the best pirate queen ever!' Lian Tanner, bestselling author of THE KEEPERS

​

Those who look up to Tamara Moss have read each and every trivia about her! I am glad to know several information about this person because finally, I got the chance to know her better. It feels different when you get the chance to know several trivia about the person you look up to because it givers you the feeling that you are getting closer to her. That's why I always try to make some research about my idols so I can achieve that feeling!
