As different as the Amish are from the outside world, so is the Palatin Commune from the rest of their Amish brethren. Enigmatic and strict, the leaders of the sect have guarded their privacy for generations. In Part 4 of Secrets, Volume I of The Amish…

Just wanted to announce that PULP is officially an ebook and available globally as of right now! I started the first draft of PULP back in 2002 after receiving a rejection notice for my other new ebook release FROSTPROOF. The agent liked FROSTPROOF but said he was looking for something a little weirder and more pulpy in style. Fueled by the adrenaline of rejection I started writing. I wanted to create a story that would keep people turning the page, not so much because of non-stop action,…

SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK



My birthday gift from last year made me ruminate. But I took some antacid, and I’m feeling better now.



The rumination, which improves with ibuprofen and ice packs, started with The Annotated Wizard of Oz. Emily saw me lusting after it at a bookstore, to such an extent that they kicked me…

The Adversity of Angels

  Adversity touches us all. It is true that we can have different facets of adversity or challenges; but none the less, without a doubt it will touch us all. There is no way, for instance, that I could write about adversity and not have had my share. Adversity comes in all shapes and sizes; it can last for only a single moment, or it can test us the entirety of our lives.

  I can not pretend, to know the specific…

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR OF, "BLUE STRAGGLER," 

KATHY LYNN HARRIS



 



Hi Kathy, the first question I have for you is, how was it growing up in Texas?



It was hot! That’s all I remember. Ha! Actually, growing up in rural Texas really helped shape me as a person and a writer. I was often surrounded by larger-than-life characters and awesome small-town…
