Need an escape? Oh, we have you covered. Today we’re bringing you another Reading Escapes contest. Four hardcover copies — yes, four — of Anne Bishop’s Twilight’s Dawn. It’s a collection of novellas set in her Black Jewels world. (You can read an excerpt here, but there may be spoilers.) Leave a comment on this post on or before April 26 for a chance to win Twilight’s Dawn. Four winners will be chosen.... 
In lieu of Contest Roundup today (because we’ve got a stomach virus), we’re serving up Teeth: Vampires Tales, a just-released YA anthology of short stories on — you guessed it — vampires. Some touching, some violent, some all action and a few with good laughs. It even includes a vampire poem by Neil Gaiman. Want to win a copy? Just leave a comment on this post on or before April 14. (Sorry, U.S. and... 
As readers, it’s easy to take for granted how easily the point of view can shift in a novel. We flip from hero to heroine, and (in good writing) never think about the fact the author may be a woman diving into the male mind.

I’ve been traveling quite a bit lately. (Those who follow my Twitter feed know I’ve been heading somewhere nearly every other week.) It’s never for fun, though. Work, family stuff, but never a vacation. That’s why I’m always toting great novels with me.
