One of the statements that my fellow teacher … More Organized? Me?
I’ll give you the short answer: I have no idea. I’ve been enticed with the idea of co-authoring a book for a long time. I’ve pursued my daughter, who is a good writer herself, to co-author something with me. But she’s been around me long enough to know that we wouldn’t get along as co-authors. … More How To Co-write A Book

Although conservatives in my church often look down their noses in disapproval of anything with the word “fiction” associated with it, writers within my church have been writing fiction for generations. And I believe there … More The Trouble with Christian Fiction
