The thought that there is someone else or many other someone else's out there thinking like me makes me feel better. Sometimes I don't think like anyone else and it's comforting to find people who have this same problem. The other thing is that when something affects me deeply I know that at some time I will write about it. This helps to accept whatever it is that has happened.(less)

Rejections may cause you pain at first and I know, because my first novel was rejected seven times before it was accepted for publication. Don't ever give up if you are happy with what you have written. Sometimes after a rejection you can go back and change your writing, because it didn't say what you wanted it to say. I also think it is very important to make sure that anything you write reflects your own thinking no matter what it is. This is how you can develop what people in the publishing industry are always talking about, voice. Voice is only your own thoughts coming out of the character in a way that reflects who you are.(less)

Welcome Author Catherine T. Horn


 It's been over three months since the last blog post and I apologize for that. I hope you enjoyed reading about my last guest whose books and career are very fascinating. In the interim between the last post a lot has happened. The best thing is I won a silver award from Reader's Favorite for my Young Adult novel: If I Could Be Like Jennifer Taylor.  During the summer I took part in some book Read more of this blog post »

YOU'LL PROBABLY FORGET ME by Barbara Ehrentreu

YOU'LL PROBABLY FORGET ME by Barbara Ehrentreu

YOU'LL PROBABLY FORGET ME by Barbara Ehrentreu
"What I learned from this book is that love isn’t erased by illness or even death, it simply changes form. Barbara’s poems show that grief is just love with nowhere to go. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s loved deeply, because it will remind you why" Read more of this review »

“Al Qaeda” didn’t translate to “the base,” as most Western media outlets had so ignorantly reported, but rather, “the database.” It referred to the original computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with the help of the CIA to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan.”
