Fiction, fact, biography, and semi-autobiography... Meet Lea Rachel
Today I'm delighted to welcome author Lea Rachel to my blog. You may have seen my review of her book, Seeking Forgiveness, yesterday: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5077271568. I read that the book is "semi-autobiographical," so I was eager to ask the author some questions, starting with the question about how Lea became the white mother of an adopted African American child.
How difficult is it to become qualified to adopt or foster?

A tale of motherhood
Tomorrow I shall interview author Lea Rachel on this blog. And in getting ready to "meet" her here, I thoroughly enjoyed reading her novel, Seeking Forgiveness.

Who Was Barabbas and Why Might We Care?

He's touring the internet with the third book of his Barabbas trilogy, a series based around the world of Jesus' death and resurrection, and centering on the well-remembered figure of Barabbas.

Kings, Captives, Faeries, Warriors, Princes, and Traitors. Even Sasquatch!
This series has it all: Kings, Captives, Faeries, Warriors, Princes, and Traitors. Even Sasquatch!
How can you resist a tagline like that. I wouldn't have resisted, but this year has been so crazy with all my various hospitalizations. But I'm well now, so maybe I'll get to read it now. I've certainly enjoyed many other of Dana Pratola's books.
Here's what the author says:
~~It's not your mother's Christian fiction.~~
God gave me a passion to write Christ...
