I Had to Write the Story, By Jean Trounstine

The Truth Beneath the Paint
The phrase “painting over cracks” is simple. It brings to mind the small imperfections in a wall—tiny fractures that form over time, the kind you might notice in the corner of a room or above a doorway.

Not The Conversation I Was Expecting by Barbara Conrey

One of my favorite authors who excels at writing from the female point of view is Chris Bohjalian. The first book of his I read was a […]
Ephemeral Inspiration By Lya Badgley
The ink shimmered, shifted—stirring awake like blood beneath skin. For any creative, inspiration can feel like a half-remembered dream just out of reach: the more one tries to recall it, the more elusive it becomes.
