A Woman of Note duly noted
March 08th, 2016
Carol M. Cram of Bowen Island is one of three B.C. writers whose books will now be marketed by Thomas Allen & Son in Ontario within a new omnibus initiative called Amazon Publishing. After her first novel about a fictional female painter in the Tuscan town of San Gimignano during the 14th century, The Towers of Tuscany (Seattle: Lake Union Publishing, 2014), Cram released a second historical novel with a female protagonist, A Woman of Note (Seattle: Lake Union Publishing, 2015). It has been included within the new, below-highbrow consortium for “international bestsellers, debut fiction, books for kids of all ages, heart-pounding romances, high-velocity thrillers and stunning science fiction.” A consortium for low-velocity thrillers has yet to be launched.
