Congratulations to Joanna Fons!

Fairy Tale Novel Fan Joanna Fons won the "New Face" of the SHOP ad competition.  Joanna wrote to me asking me to cast a vote in the competition and said, "I'm really surprised since I don't even think it's that great of a picture of me, but still really excited!"  I wasn't too surprised that she won the competition!   Take a look at the blog post here.

Congratulations Joanna!  I hope this is a good first step into the fashion world for you!

Hey! I'm an Editor Now!

I just realized I never blogged about the job that I've been doing for the past year or so: mainly, being a fiction editor for Sophia Institute Press.  Of course, I've mentioned John Paul 2 High , but I just realized that I haven't mentioned some of the other fiction I've done for them, including the mystery Bleeder , and the hot-off-the-press teen fiction Awakening . So I'm posting links to the books, and I wanted to let you know that each of these books was carefully edited by me, just so you ...

In the Catholic Spotlight

Check out this fun interview I did with Chris Cash and Catholic Spotlight for Catholic Company today. We talked about the Fairy Tale Novels, editing books for Sophia Institute Press, and John Paul 2 High. I had a bit of a cold when I gave the interview, but aside from the hoarseness, I think I did okay. Click here to listen.

I also mentioned two new books that I edited for Sophia Institute Press, Bleeder , and the on-the-verge-of-being-published Awakening . I'll be spotlighting both books myself...

Paper Dolls of the Shadow of the Bear!

This post is late, late coming, but I've been wanting to spotlight a book I released this summer with Chesterton Press: Fairy Tale Novel Paper Dolls of the Shadow of the Bear . How did this book come to be? That's an interesting story!

Years ago, a reader asked me if I would ever make paper dolls out of my characters, and I admitted that I'd never thought about it. Well, just this past year, I heard from Cassandra Stevens, a fan, who sent me a paper doll of Rose Brier that she had made, along ...
