Nine Five-Star Reviews for A Hostage to Heritage

A Hostage to Heritage book cover

There are now nine five-star reviews on Amazon for A Hostage to Heritage. The latest reviewer wrote, “My next trip through the Carolinas may include some detours to places referenced in the story.” Huzzah! This reviewer is rocking the actual history! How cool is that?

This week, Historical Fiction eBooks is running a repeat of my essay “Creating Tension Without Using Gratuitous Violence.” In this essay, I discuss how I used the historical event called the “Rouse House Massacre” in A Hostage to Heritage to generate tension, as well as my ideas about how far crime fiction authors need to take violence in their stories to get the point across. If you missed it the first time, stop by and see if you agree with me.
