This week on Brook Reading, I had the distinct pleasure to interview author Alicia Dill and discuss her new novel, Beyond Sacrifice. Alicia talks about the bonds amongst veterans, the importance of knowing facts from fiction, and the feeling of meeting a “unicorn in the wild”. Afterwards, I highlight and review her most recent venture, Beyond Sacrifice, SPOILER - FREE! Don’t forget to visit Alicia’s website, www.aliciadill.com, to find out more about this incredibly talented and influential author, and pick up your own copy of Beyond Sacrifice!
