The first book in my series was motivated by A Course in Miracles - a book that forever changed me. How great it would be, I thought, if I had learned these principles earlier in life. Well, there was my challenge. Could I write YA fiction that would touch on some of the ACIM lessons, yet still be engaging and maybe even funny?

Around the same time, I heard an author on NPR (whose name I can't recall) say that if you don't find your writing up to your standard, maybe you should lower your standards. Some how this little bit of advice, for better or worse, gave me the confidence to write 'Off the Grid' the first book in The Jamie Keller Mystery Series.
Once I got the Kellers inside my head I couldn't get them out. I've just published the fourth book in the series 'On the Brink', and am considering the title for book five.

So express yourself!! It cost nothing to write and it's very therapeutic.

Hi E.N. I see you responded to my request for guest bloggers. I am certainly interested in hosting you. I see you write mysteries, but I'd never thought of mysteries from a family angle. I've got my blog planned for January and February, but wouldn't it be fun to do a month on the theme of families in literature and cover every kind I can think of--mystery, romance, children's, poetry, dystopian, etc.?

E.N. McNamara Hi Faith,
I just now noticed your response. I usually access Good Reads via my mobile phone, and many options are not available. Perhaps I am too late …moreHi Faith,
I just now noticed your response. I usually access Good Reads via my mobile phone, and many options are not available. Perhaps I am too late to participate in your blog? If not I am surely interested. How is your project going?

I got curious too, and found the answer on a blog called SectionHiker. Philip Werner, the blogger, says: It means one individual person, regardless if he or she accesses the web site with multiple devices, say a laptop, phone or iPad, during the course of a day. It’s roughly equivalent to magazine circulation.
