Alena answered Beverly's question: I won a copy of "Mercy House" and loved it so much. The characters and the story was wonderful. I just saw that you have a new book out. I entered to win a copy. I am so excited to read it. Where do you get your inspiration? Thanks so much for reading Mercy House! I'm glad you liked it. I often am inspired by injustices I hear about in the real world. I write to investigate why they bother me, their consequences, and possible solutions.
