Happy Independence Day

-

As a country we certainly have our problems, but as someone who travels a lot I've realized, every country has problems. Just like people, no one country is perfect. Despite our problems I've always been proud to be an American and I still am today. Thank you to all who have served our country, and all those who have loved someone who has served our country. You've helped keep us free and for that we celebrate today.

My gift to all of you, my novella, Born Of Fire, is free on Amazon. It's about a special couple who come to America to keep their unborn son safe. Just click on the title to download, and if you enjoy it I hope you'll spread the word. Have a safe and happy 4th of July! Also don't forget to enter my Channeler's Cause giveaway and the Indelibles Indiependence Day celebration.

Banned Books Week Hop And Giveaway

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde
