š BOOK REVIEW š
The Deception
By Kim Taylor Blakemore
Publication Date: September 27, 2022
4.25/5 stars āāāā+
I became familiar with this author when I stumbled across When Alice Fell, one of the best historical mysteries Iāve read to date. Her ability to bring her characters to life is phenomenal, and that talent didnāt disappoint in her newest book.
At its most basic level, this was simply a great read. The period details are excellent, the tension is maintained throughout, and the author had a way of manipulating my feelings so skillfully I didnāt even realize it was happening. Clem begins as fairly sympathetic, just a woman finding her niche in a difficult world while Maud is, well, a bit maudlin and unable to make her own way without assistance. But at some point in the novel my opinion of these women flipped and it was so well done, I wasnāt able to put my finger on where, exactly, it happened. All I knew was that somehow, Maud had gotten under my skin and Clem was much more damaged than Iād originally thought.
The point of view shifts between Clem and Maud and the reader is deeply embedded in each character. Lots of showing, not a lot of telling. Exactly what I look for in a character-driven story. And the ending will leave you on tenterhooks imagining what comes next. Iām not sure if thereās enough left unresolved for a sequel or if thatās the authorās intention. Things are left a bit up in the air but the book wrapped up satisfactorily for me, yet still left a āwhat if?ā hanging.
If youāre interested in the Spiritualist movement or just like great historical fiction, pick this one up.
Thank you to @netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for providing the ARC. Iāve left my review honestly and voluntarily.

Like most authors, my road to publication was a long and difficult one. It took many years of rejection to finally see my books out there. On my agent Mark Gottlieb's website, I talk about the importance of not giving up. Thank you for featuring my article, Mark!

New deal congrats! New York Times bestselling and three-time Edgar Award-winning author T. Jefferson Parker's DESPERATION REEF, in which a big-wave surf star and her two sons confront murderous pirates off the coast while they train to compete in the same dangerous surfing contest that took her husband's life; and an UNTITLED NOVEL, sold to Kristin Sevick at Forge Books, in a good deal, by Mark Gottlieb and Robert Gottlieb at Trident Media Group (NA).

James Wade is an award-winning author of three novels, the latest being "Beasts of the Earth." His first novel, "All Things Left Wild," was the 2021 Spur Award Winner for Best Historical Fiction. James will be in conversation with Sarah Bird at the Boerne Book Festival on Saturday, October 1st, at 12:45 pm, at Main Plaza. The author resides near Canyon Lake, with his family.
It's publication day! The Countess of the Revolution is out in ebook today. If you prefer a book you can hold in your hands, paperback edition is coming to bookstores near you in a few months. I loved researching and writing this book and it has taught me so much about my writing process, the time period and my family history. This story means everything to me and I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy it.
Huge thanks to Mark Gottlieb and HarperCollins for making my dream come true.

Thereās one month left until publication day, which means thereās only one month left to preorder. A preorder is the single most important thing for an author. It creates buzz, informs the publisher as to how much energy and effort they should put into the book, and mostly crucially, it helps the author have a chance at publishing another book in the future. So please, if you intend to read this literary tale of hard fought humanity and ever-shifting morality, then please preorder at the link below or wherever you buy your books! Iād sure like to keep writing for yāall āš»šš§”
