Where the Heart of Anti-Shurtugal Rises Again.

 

It's been a while since I have posted about Gloria Tesch.   My real life has gotten in the way and honestly I'm too busy writing my own book to worry about checking in on Gloria, for the most part. I also been pretty busy with the drama that has exploded all over the romance genre about the Romance Writers of America. 

 

So, while I was watching the explosion happen in Romancelandia, Gloria Tesch quietly decided to use a new name and changed her website and her social media accounts to Sofia Nova.  In November 2019 a new YA novel, 'The Secret of Moon Lake' was published.  This is the first book she has published since 2012 which was 'Maradonia and the Battle for the Key'. 

 

I don't know if she has truly improved as an author, but if one would to judge simply by the cover art (yes, this book is once again illustrated by her mother) I would say no. To be fair, the blurb is not that bad and kind of interesting? It's on Kindle Unlimited (which I do have) but I'm too busy with writing my own book to really devote any time to it. 

 

The book has only 2 five star reviews on Amazon and has no reviews on Goodreads.  So, I have no idea what to think about it  But since this is Gloria 'ratchet' Tesch I'm leaning on the side of this is going to be an awful train wreck. 

 

What I'm praying is that one of you good souls in this community will take the time to either review it or spork it for the lulz.
