Baked Ricotta Dip with Garlic & Herbs – The Way to His Heart

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

  I’m a lover of dips, I wont deny it. You can have the most fabulous appetizers at a party, but if there isn’t something to dip a chip, bread, or vegetable in I’m not completely happy. I’ve been known to make a meal out of dips when I’m home and don’t have to feed […]

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

Literature! And games. The web is an […]

Setting: Does It Matter? by Author Cara Putnam

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

  Setting: Does It Matter? When you’re reading a novel, what’s the first thing that grabs your attention?   Is it the characters? The genre? An interesting take or twist?

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

I love being an author and writing The Sinners’ Garden was a lot of fun. It also presented quite a few challenges for me from the first couple drafts to what became the final version of the story, not because of the normal bumps in the road we authors frequently hit, but by my accidental […]

Notes from the Beach by Author Dorothy Love

S. Dionne Moore - Author | Heart & Soul

Though I’ve lived most of my life in landlocked states—the exception being the years I lived in Southern California—I have always been a beach girl.

Kozar have each dropped in to answer a few questions for us. California native C. L. Ragsdale writes Christian mysteries. Tell us, Cindy: have you always […]
