This week, I get to participate in the Rave Reviews Book Club’s “Bethany Turner Pay it forward” week. I like doing this because it lets me introduce you to wonderful authors that you might not otherwise meet.

Today I am hosting Carl Stevens, the author of Time Traveler’s Fool,They Call Me Merlin Sherlock, and other books. I hope that you will find him as interesting as I do.
