• Another five start review for Courage of Fear.... blessed again, thanks Laurel-Rain

  September 24, 2009

  • I read "Courage of Fear" very quickly during my recent vacation, and as I turned to the final page, I had such mixed emotions that I thought about the characters, the events in the story, and wondered about "what might have been" for days afterward.

Yesterday I turned on my computer and I thought, "Now what? What should I write about today?" Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that I had no stories to tell. As I stated in a past blog--I am an ...
