While I was washing my hands, the door burst open, a young man stumbled in and grabbed me. He shut the door behind him and sexually assaulted me. When he was done, he urinat...

The Birthplace of Little Love
There was a hole in my heart, and no matter how hard I tried, I didn't know how to fix it.
My failures, what became my greatest source of strength.

More on paper .....
Just finished a session at KeyCon 36 flogging my two mystery masterpieces. It never ceases to amaze me that as much as paper (with a pen) inspire writers, it also inspires readers. One of the reasons people (and I will say young and old) buy and read books is that paper feel, there's just somethi...

The Incredible Disappearing Wall
I recently received a manifesto (there is no other word to describe it) from a longtime reader who hates me.
Over the years, this reader has frequently sent emails calling me an idiot and/or a racist, with colorful phrases throw in that describe his feelings about Latinos in general.
In any case, h...

Who does God say I am in Christ?
The holiness, sovereignty, and majesty of God can sometimes make it seem like He is too far removed from us; or cause us to question whether we're a disappointment to Him. While our perception and feelings about ourselves are powerful and seem real to us, they aren't reality. Reality is who God s...

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
