Looking Back at July 2015 – our News, Reviews and Features

We’re half-way into August, which means this round-up of last month’s activity here at AudioGals is a little late, but July was another busy month, with twenty-two new reviews plus our monthly look at what’s new and our Currently Playing discussions. You can also read our chats with Elizabeth Wiley and Kate Quinn and with Alex Wyndham and Lucinda Brant and listen to FREE first chapters of Mistress of Rome and Midnight Marriage.
