City of the Dead Review
City of the Dead is a book that will sweep you back in time to ancient Egypt circa 2500 BC. Like T.L. Higley’s first book in the seven wonders series I let the book linger on my TBR stack a bit. Even though the Shadow of Colossus (SP) swept me back in time and captivated me, I wondered if the …
I Finished!
I just finished A Promise Born! I even got to write a couple scenes in one of my favorite cities: Washington, D.C. As the photo shows, my desk shows the wear and tear.

Balance? Who me??!?!
Here’s a link to an interview I did with Marybeth Whalen. If you’ve wondered how I balance homeschooling and writing, this interview will answer many of those questions.

Shadows of Lancaster County
Before you pick up Shadows of Lancaster County, make sure you have a block of time to read it. This book is a delightful rush: the present twists into the past in a way that pulled me through from page one to the end, the pages flipping ever faster as the end neared. When Anna’s brother vanishes from the genetics …
