Do something good for others, and inspiration will follow. I promise.

I try to help real-life people through my stories. Yes, my characters and plots are fiction, but much of what happens in my books really takes place. My purpose is to shed light on those things, and to provide an element of hope through difficult circumstances. Occasionally I will hear from a reader, confirming that they were touched or enlightened by my words, and that is all the inspiration I need. Do good for others, and inspiration will not be far behind.(less)

Thanks for the fantastic review, Ceej! I'm so happy you enjoyed the story. Emotion through a family dynamic is definitely where I like to write from. To me, it makes things personal in a way that readers can easily relate to. I'm thrilled that you not only found the intensity in the words, but also the light.

Again, my sincere thanks for the feedback. Happy reading!

Best

Ceej I really hope you keep writing and I am looking forward to more from you in the future. "First Night of Summer" was really and truly one of the most amazing books I have read in years. I felt like I was there in the story with the Snow family!
