Recently, I read a historical fiction novel that sparked my interest in a historical event in a way that no other book has done: The Shore of Forever by Elora Maxwell.

This book was completely captivating. It was focused on a fascinating period of history and told the story of three characters who each had my heart and taught me a thing or two about how to live life. But even better than that, it lit my reading heart and sent me down a beautiful rabbit hole of curiosity. 

Today, I’m talking with Elora Maxwell about her debut novel. She gives us the backstory of how it came to be, insight into the characters and structure and even shares book recommendations that pair well with hers. You don’t want to miss this!
