Fascinating Friday Post – No Fear in Pre-school
Taking a break from writing fiction for a bit, I wanted to share this raw and rare post. As authors, our stories stem from our daily lives, and this process requires honesty at every turn.

Over the course of six months, three different people came to me and said, “You should be in the ministry.” I laughed it off. “Yeah right.
