CONTINUE READINGLet’s Start A Movement!
These thoughts have been brewing in my mind for a while but some things I recently noticed on Facebook inspired me to write this post today. Social media can be a blessing or a curse. It can create powerful change, it can bring light to topics which need to be exposed, it can educate and […]

There’s been lots of posts on Facebook lately where people are listing the top 10 books that have stayed with them in some way. That got me to thinking about my book, A World Such as Heaven Intended that will be available on Amazon October 27. Wouldn’t that be something if my book made someone’s list […]

A World Such as Heaven Intended Cover Choices
It’s getting real now! Just got these two mock ups of potential covers for my novel from my publisher. The publishing date is set for October 1, 2014. I’m looking for feedback.
