A Bright Future at Historical Bookworm

After much prayer and consideration, Historical Bookworm is moving forward with plans of expanding our reach through additional media and literary outlets. We’re looking at including a biweekly newsletter, podcast transcripts, and a blog post to go with each episode instead of the typical show notes.

If you like the show but maybe you don’t have time to listen or perhaps you want more from the podcast, Historical Bookworm Newsletter is for you. We will include things like photos from the Pinch of the Past, additional book reviews, and giveaways.

Another change you will notice is that of one of our hosts. Kendy Pearson is moving on to other endeavors in the writing industry. While wishing Kendy the best and supporting her in every way we can, I am thrilled to have Miss Darcy Fornier joining me as cohost.

Darcy is a historical/fantasy fiction author, history lover, and Christian. You can find out more about her at DarcyFornier.com. You can subscribe to Historical Bookworm Newsletter by following this link.
