Beautifully written, just a little disappointed in the storyline. Going into this, I think I was just hoping for something a little more uplifting, and I didn‘t * really * get what I was looking for.. (I know, I know - a story set against a backdrop of the Russian revolution.. how could I possibly think that would have a happy ending, right?) 🤦🏼♀️
Needed a book set in Winter for my “seasonal” #popsugar read.. Apparently I‘m off to a good start 👍🏼❄️

Valentina and Luka are rising stars in the Imperial Russian Ballet. But with revolution in the air, and the country divided, the day‘s of the indulgent Romanov ballet look almost over, leaving the pair with a difficult choice about their love for each other, their country, and their lives as dancers.
❄️ Really well researched, and evocative in it‘s description of Russia 1914-1920. A treat to read ❄️
I did a podcast with Better Reading all about my book (tagged). My first podcast ever, I was a little nervous but had a lot of fun too. Best of all, I‘m not cringing over the sound of my own voice! 😄

I‘ve got this on hold at the library - it‘s by an Australian litten too.
Sorry for my lack of involvement this month- I‘ve still been watching from the sidelines
I spy with my little eye.... @KerriNTurner
So excited to see it on the shelves. Congrats! #LittenAuthor
1. The most recent book cover I have fallen for. 😍
2. Not unless you count watching Pride and Prejudice by myself and eating chocolate? 😂
3. Neon green
4. Anthony... but then they named my little brother Nicholas. 🤷🏻♀️
5. Done! ❤️

I‘ve been super quiet on Litsy lately, but with good reason - I was celebrating the release and launch of my debut novel! On shelves in Australia and New Zealand now, with ebooks available in USA. Further countries hopefully coming soon!
Look what arrived today! It‘s the first time I‘ve seen the finished book in person, and I‘m not going to lie, I reacted like this: 😭😭😭.
So many years of work have gone into this, and there was so much fear and doubt I‘d never see this day. It‘s a dream come true.
Another gorgeous snippet from an early review for The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers. Having people not just spend their time reading my story, but devoting such lovely words to it, brings tears to my eyes. Full review and others are on my website kerriturner.com , as well as a link to Goodreads reviews and all current pre-order places.
An early review of my book from a reader who was a principal ballerina in Russia. Her words mean so much to me - to be able to capture someone‘s experience and share it with the world in a way they feel is authentic is a dream and everything I wanted to achieve with this book. I‘m hoping other readers will have similar experiences, whether they are dancers, dance-lovers, history buffs, or just enjoy a good story.
My upcoming book is now on Litsy, and I‘m so proud and happy to be able to share the beautiful cover with you all! Out in February 2019, but it is available for pre-order now in Australia (paperback and ebook) and the US (ebook).
