Excited to learn two of my favorite authors just released their babies, The Pirate Queen, and The Witches of Cambridge. I have been reading Alice Hoffman for years. My first book I read by Ms. Hoffman was Here on Earth so many years ago, It is even relevant today. She is known for her Practical Magic books, and the books have been adapted to movies. Practical Magic 2 has just been released. Witches of Cambridge is a timely release for the fall/Halloween season. http://alicehoffman.com/books/1628-2/

I read Frozen River her previous release. If you love historical fiction. This book is up your alley. I can’t wait to dive into both. There are so many new releases coming up before the holiday season. http://www.ariellawhon.com/thepirateque
