There’s something sacred about reading a book from an indie author. The story carries fingerprints: hope, faith, pain, and grace. In those words, you find proof that there was an author who turned their own struggles and joy into something I can hold in my hands.

Eek! Just recorded the Brainstoryum Halloween Special (for release next Sat). Some amazing tales & poetry to share from my talented listeners.❤️ But I've got a cold, so my voice is nasal... and DEEP! Sometimes it has a gravelly tone, too, so maybe that will just be spookier? 👻
