Trini Girl Reads Author Spotlight Interview
It was a delight to be given the author spotlight on Trini Girl Reads. Francica is from the beautiful Caribbean islands Trinidad and Tobago. She says reading is one of her favourite things to do in her spare time, which is why she decided to share her passion for books online with her blog Trinigirl Reads.
Reading a wide range of genres historical fiction, fantasy, romance, crime, thrillers. Although she loves books from the Caribbean she reads widely from places around the world like Asia and Africa.
Rather than being an interview Francica shared a preview of Down With Frogs with her readers. “In this candid, darkly comic, occasionally tragic satirical fiction collection Eden Gruger invites us into the world of the private world of dating women. We see them being cooked for, meeting the potential in-laws, unexpected gifts, and being ghosted in the most creative of ways.
