    January Reading List

    "Orphan Train" - Christina Baker Kline
    ​(I stumbled upon this one through my Kobo account, and I'm glad I did.  I've never really studied anything about the orphan trains that ran through the American midwest before, so this gave me a whole new insight on a part of history I kn​ew nothing about).

    Reading Lists 2020

    my-reading-list
    Hi all!

    Thanks for joining me here to see what I'm reading in 2020.  The lists are quite short, given that I work a 9-5 job on top of trying to write and somehow fit in a social life as well.  I've intentionally kept my lists down to 2-3 books a month max, which is in keeping with my Goodreads Challenge of reading 24 books this year.  I want to keep my Goodreads Challenge goals manageable as I try to get back into reading for fun again, so that's why the lists are a little short.  Hopefully, if all goes well, the lists will get longer each year!

    If you have an interest in seeing how I've rated the books I've read so far, head on over to my Goodreads page where you can see my starred reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/84805418 
    (for the moment, I am not adding written reviews, which comes down simply to a time factor). 

    Hope you all enjoy!  If you want to share your reading lists with me, feel free to add them to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and tag me: @AuthorErinBowlen (Facebook), @erinbowlen (Twitter) @erin.bowlen (Instagram) 
    I'd love the recommendations!

    Cheers,

    My Reading Lists

    blog
    Hi everyone!

    I know we're all facing an unprecedented time right now of staying home and practicing social distancing, which is having people searching for ways to keep their minds and bodies active.  So, in the spirit of wanting to re-connect with you all again, I wanted to share with you a new section I've added to my website: My Reading List.  Now, you can follow along with me as I work towards my Goodreads Challenge for 2020 and see what it is I'm reading.  Because we're already approaching the month of April, I went and backdated my lists so you can see which books I read in January, February, and March. 

    ​Hope you all enjoy!  And if you want to share your reading lists with me, feel free to add them to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and tag me: @AuthorErinBowlen (Facebook), @erinbowlen (Twitter) @erin.bowlen (Instagram) 
    I'd love the recommendations!

    Cheers!

    Happy 1st Anniversary to "All That Compels the Heart!"

    blog
    It's been one year today since All That Compels the Heart was released.  I know, I can't believe it either.  I know I'm terrible at writing blog posts (writing a novel tends to distract this author from keeping up with her blog) but I did want to take a moment to hop on here and pen a quick thank you to everyone who made this book a reality, and to everyone who has taken the time to read it.  I truly, deeply appreciate you all.  Your support means everything to me!  In the spirit of celebrating this important day, I have a few announcements to make about changes to my website, and about upcoming projects: 

    1.  You may not have noticed, but now my web domain is www.erinbowlen.com  (That's right, I have my own domain name now) 
    2. There's a new post over in the #MyNovelSoundtrack section of the website.  As a treat, I have released the playlist I created and listened to while I was writing the novel. 
    3. Perhaps the most important item on this list is that there WILL be a sequel to All That Compels the Heart!  I know some of you have been asking if there will be a follow-up to Aoife's story, so I am happy to announce that there will be!  There's no release date as of yet (I'm still writing it, after all), but at least you know it's in the works.
