Guest post today at 10 Minute Novelists in which I wade out into the philosophical waters that may well be over my head.
Beauty, Truth, and the Power to Transcend (June 10, 2015)
“Writers assemble letters into an inexhaustible number of unique arrangements to create truth and beauty, and in doing so, touch upon something so innate, so universal, that it brings life to the deepest stirrings of our souls.”

Review of I Am Margaret by Corinna Turner (August, 2014)
“I Am Margaret is an engaging, fast-paced narrative that not only pulls you in for a thrilling ride, but provides enough substance for reflection on what faith is and what it means when life itself is at stake.”

“It’s my childlike to devotion to Mary that has sustained decades, allowing me to return like an affection-starved child to her bosom, seeking her intercession again and again. Like a true, but sometimes neglected friend, she is there when I need her, ready to pick up where we left off.”
Gratitude Attitude (May, 2015)
“How often do I thank God for the crap? The stuff that looks to me like someone unfairly holding me back, gripping me by the ankles while I thrash and kick and try to get away? The hard stuff for which St. Paul says we should be grateful.”
