    You don't need an agent for PublishAmerica. I made the ENORMOUS mistake of publishing my first novel with them. Horrible company. I wish that I had never published with them ...

    Yoho! Well, the published life, unlike when my first novella was released, is a bit overwhelming! I'm being asked by librarians to do readings at young writers conferences that are ...

    Just finished this pretty graphic novel an hour or so ago and must say that I was quite impressed by the level of writing. Ellis is indeed an original. Though ...

    I published with PublishAmerica and I sadly fear that it probably has ruined my writing career forever. Don't go with them. I thought that they would edit by book and ...

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
