If there’s one thing besides fashion that gets this alligator’s attention, it’s books! I LOVE to read! And I simply adore authors! That’s why I’ve decided to honor those who craft the stories we love to read by launching a new line we’re calling...

Signature Alli's

We’ve worked with each of these prolific writers to create an alli-bag that carries the theme of their work, whether it’s a single novel or an entire book series. In the months to come we’ll feature more of these amazing authors and offer you a link to their websites. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll get hooked on reading as much as I am!

Susan Downs is the acquisitions editor for Heartsong Presents:MYSTERIES, Barbour Publishing's new romance-laced cozy mystery book club line. Set to launch in January 2007, HPMysteries will release 32 mass-market paperback cozy mystery titles each year.
