Karen Witemeyer shares about her latest release,  In Honor’s Defense, and she has been so kind to offer a GIVEAWAY of the complete set of Hanger’s Horsemen Series. Check out the giveaway page on our website Historical Bookworm dot com. You also find the giveaway link in the show notes for this episode. 

In this Pinch of the Past, we take a peek at train travel in the 1800s. With no shortage of first-class passengers clamoring for tickets, Pullman invented all sorts of specialty cars. Smoking cars, reading cars, cars for listening to music, or cars designed like parlors for relaxing. They featured carpeted floors, mirrors in gilded frames, marble and walnut washstands, colorfully frescoed ceilings, and silver-plated metal trappings. (Full post here.)

Book Review: If you enjoy well-researched historical fiction with plenty of danger, and enemies-to-lovers romance, pick up a copy of The Sound of Diamonds. This is the first book in the Steadfast Love Series, so if you find yourself hooked, there’s more to enjoy. (Full post here.)
