A Great Work of Fiction

Hi everyone! I had such fun posting the following note on facebook this morning that I thought I would share it on my blog as well. It came as a result of a random spam email I received overnight. Enjoy!

A Great Work of Fiction

Happy Mother's Day to my Awesome Mother, Shirley Moseley

My mom, Shirley Moseley

This year I decided to do something special for my mom. Instead of sending the usual Mother's Day card for her eyes only, I wanted to put together a tribute that all of my friends, family and readers could enjoy.

BOOK REVIEW: The Help

Good morning everyone. I've been dying to share my thoughts on Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel, "The Help" ever since I finished it a couple of weeks back. Thankfully, I have a few moments today to do just that.

An amazing read

Every now and again, a book comes along that totally sweeps you away. This was one of those books. To borrow a phrase from my agent, Chip MacGregor, this was a "high concept" book.
