This week Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective, is joined by Carrie Deming, the owner of The Dog Eared Book in Palmyra (NY). Carrie and Maureen discuss historical fiction, its rise in popularity, especially on social media, and how there are many different genres of historical fiction that not many know about. It’s a great conversation about the fans behind not only historical fiction, but books in general, too. She’s created New Book Tuesday on her TikTok channel.
