Wanza, describe yourself for our visitors.
What can I tell you about myself? Well, I must say that I love God and working for my church full time. Outside of that, I am a wife and mom to a precious little girl! I enjoy reading, writing and watching TV. Lately, I’ve been getting hooked on reality shows - esp. Top Chef and Project Runway!

Amber, describe yourself for our visitors.
I was born in a small suburb of Washington, D.C. with roots in Virginia and Kentucky as well as Pennsylvania, but I spent most of my life living in Delaware until most recently when I got married and moved to the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. From an early age, I’ve always loved to read and tell stories, but I also love traveling, photography, scrapbooking, horses, movies and music. I’m fairly eclectic when it comes to music, enjoying everything except heavy metal, rap and some rock from the 70’s. Oh, and I’m the stereotypical heroine in a lot of romance novels: red-haired, green-eyed and petite.

HOMECOMING
by Jill Marie Landis

BOOK REVIEW | Riven
Posted by editor | Filed under Contemporary Fiction
"Riven" is unlike any book I’ve ever read. It’s also unlike any book Jerry B. Jenkins has ever written.
Is that a good thing?
Absolutely.
Step into the shoes of a career criminal, Brady Wayne Darby. Watch as he takes a gift, a golden opportunity for success and squanders it. Watch as his selfishness wounds him time after time, and yet he doesn’t learn from each selfish act. Watch as he makes decision after decision, choice after choice and heads down a path to a destiny he does not want. You’ll have times when you’ll want to reach into the novel and shake him until his teeth rattle.

Cynthia, describe yourself for our visitors.
Describe myself, huh? I live with two of my seven children. Three step-children, one birth child, and three adopted children. I am the Detention Monitor at the local elementary school, which thankfully, gives me some writing time. I’m a goof, as you’ll discover when you read my book! Although younger, Summer Meadows is alot like me. I’ve been making up stories since I learned to read.
