Recently, I received a very kind email from someone who had gone to school with me, whom I had not seen in some time. She had, apparently, bought, read, and enjoyed "Faces In The Dark," and wished to pass it on to her friends with my permission (as she remembered, I was horribly self-conscious ab...

I finally got to start Velyn's short story this week! I've been looking forward to writing it as it's just a bit different from the other siblings' stories but just as exciting (to me, anyway). It's at about halfway complete now and I already know I need to fix the beginning, but it's fun and exc... Read more of this blog post »

Have you ever had a book change your life?

If you’re a reader, I’m sure you have. That’s one of the reasons we read books. And that was the experience I had when I read Edmond Manning’s King Perry. At the time, I was going through a very painful flare of a chronic illness and was looking for anyt... Read more of this blog post »

I was inspired to write this post after reading about James Aries' happy place on his blog. It's so sweet, how he describes his grandparents' cabin and the special meaning it holds. And it got me thinking. What's my happy place?
