Show Notes by Cheryl Episode 8: Mystery

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

We’re in favor of supporting independent bookstores! If you don’t know your local indie, check out this link if you want to get your own copy of The Inheritance Games from a website that supports all indies. Alternatively, here is a link directly to the publisher’s website with other options to purchase your own copy.

Cheryl envisioned Hawthorne House to be more like Frank Lloyd Wright’s house, Taliesin West.
