Anne Hamre’s novel, Passages, is an entrancing historical fiction work adapted from actual events that happened in the lives of her grandparents from the late 1890’s into the mid-1920’s.

The story of their love crossing continents reads like an epic romance, though as with such stories not everything can always be full of joy and happiness. Hamre’s adaptation of her family’s history is filled with such depth that you will find yourself entranced by the love weaving throughout the novel.

One of the features that makes a novel so engaging is when the author crafts rich characters. As a reader, it is intriguing peeling back the layers and uncovering the different facets. The same holds true for an interview: Interviewees who have many layers to explore excite both the interviewer and those reading the interview. Traci Sanders certainly fulfills this requirement. Sanders is not only an award-winning novelist, but her name is also synonymous with a wealth of child development books. If that isn’t enough to provide creative inspiration, Sanders has penned several books offering tips on writing, publishing and marketing. In addition, she is the founder of Readers Review Room, an invaluable resource for readers seeking a variety of books to savor and review as well as for authors who desire honest reviews of their work. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Traci Sanders. Read what she had to say below.
When I was a junior in high school I read George Orwell’s 1984 for the very first time and fell in love. The book has remained one of my favorite reads and I have reread it a number of times since then once even for a very interestingly named grad school course called History of the Future. 1984 in the 21st Century An Anthology of Essays contains writings by those who share my love of this dystopian novel and who see connections between the fictional work and more modern day events. While the text does discuss the current presidency there are also mentions of the Obama Administration as well as various events throughout history.
