Deliver Us From Evil

Today I am thrilled to welcome a good friend to the blog. I met Robin Caroll in 2006 when I was just starting out on this insane writing trip. Since I moved to Lake Hamilton I don’t see to get Robin as much as I used to, but we’ve stayed in touch. Her success has [...]

Blast Off!!
