'Letters from Skye' sounds like a wonderful book

A new epistolary novel has been published. "Letters from Skye" sounds like a most interesting story, and it has its own trailer on YouTube.

The book is written by Jessica Brockmole and published by Random House's Cornerstone Publishing and Ballantine Books.

According to what I've read about the book, it's set, for the most part, during World War I and revolves around the letters between a Scottish poet and an American college student who starts by writing her a fan letter.

Not only does the book sound great, so does the author. She wrote a guest post on the blog "The Other Side of the Story with Janice Hardy" about writing an epistolary novel.

Here's what she wrote about letter writing in another guest post on the Foyles website:

"There is something irresistible about a letter. When it's addressed to you, of course, there's the anticipation of lifting the envelope's flap, the little thrill of tracing the inked words, the wondering if anything more lay between the lines. The warm rush of knowing that someone smoothed the stationary and signed at the end with you in mind."

I think I'll put her book on my wish list!
