Carawriting advice 9 Comments

I’ve heard many writers rave about Google Maps, but until A Promise Kept, the book I just finished, I didn’t really need it.

Review: The Bone Box

CaraUncategorized 1 Comment

The Bone Box is the latest release from author Bob Hostetler, an award-winning author and pastor in Ohio. I think this is the first book of his that I’ve read, and it reminded me of John Olson’s Fossil Hunter. It follows in the niche genre (that I may be coining) of archaeological suspense.
