3. Michael David Lukas, author of The Oracle of Stamboul, and RBC author, has a new book coming out in March, 2018, It's called The Last Watchman of Old Cairo. And it's darn good. Michael has agreed to come to the RBC next Fall. Can't wait.
4. This was recently posted by Kerry Lonsdale:
Last month, I had a wonderful dinner with my editors and agent where they presented me with the Diamond Quill Award, commemorating over one million readers across my three titles: Everything We Keep, All the Breaking Waves, and Everything We Left Behind. Considering the number of books on the market, for an author to reach several thousand readers, let alone, several hundred, is quite an achievement. But one million in such a short timeframe? Wow. Just wow. I owe it to you, my friend. Thank YOU for reading my stories.
