Review: The Lincoln Myth (Cotton Malone #9) by Steve Berry
All is not as it seems. A simple phrase that could be dangerous in the wrong hands. Abraham Lincoln must make a choice, keep the secret or not. He could save thousands or have the country torn apart…..Lincoln alone holds the power. Retired agent, Cotton Malone is asked by his former boss to do a favor. It sounds relatively cut and dry, but as soon as he agrees he realizes this is a bit more involved than he originally expected. Unbeknownst to him, his girlfriend is also being recruited for this ‘favor’. This only complicates matters further as she is in deep cover.

Guest Post: North of Boston by Elisabeth Elo
Guest blog: What Makes a Female Protagonist “Strong”? by Elisabeth Elo, author of North of Boston We’ve all heard discussions about “strong female protagonists” and how important they are to a book’s success. I confess that the term makes me uneasy. Because if one female protagonist is strong, what are all the others? Are they weak? In sexist societies, women are routinely separated, classified, and judged. Often they are set in opposition to each other — madonnas vs. prostitutes; working women vs. stay-at-home mothers, and so on.
