Today's Author Event


I will be at the Montrose Jennings Memorial Library all day today!

At 1:00 I'll do a little program on Journal Writing. Painted Soul was created from an excerpt in a journal I kept while spending a summer in England when I was 16!

I'll have copies of the Soul Series on hand to sell and sign.

Feel free to bring your journal for me to look at. I'd love to meet some budding new writers.
