“When you’re a writer, you’re doing a job people don’t know you’re doing and you can’t really talk about, and you’re always finding your way in this secret world.”

Dark Aemilia
What a fabulous surprise to collect the mail on Friday and find a package from Mslexia Magazine. I won a free book, and not just any book, but Sally O’Reilly’s Dark Aemilia.
Here’s the blurb:
“This spellbinding novel of witchcraft, poetry and passion re-imagines the life of Aemilia Lanyer, the ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets — the playwright’s muse and his one true love.”
I started reading the book last night and it pulled me in immediately. Thank you Mslexia!
