Tools of my trade.
Art perfects theology, being not just an argument, but the presentation of it. John Senior, The Remnant
“Let us consider, on the other hand, a world open to beauty—always keeping in mind that when we refer to a reality called beauty, we refer to a gift, a visitation from God …
Sad but true. People in hard places make it difficult to live them. In books and movies trust comes quickly. As a writer you have to make people like a hurt character at once, but sometimes I don’t like doing that. True, less people might get my diamond in the rough heroes but their behaviors are true to my experience. My characters don’t let me cover for them.

I think I lean hard on my mother’s gifts. 🤷‍♀️
Family sagas, found family, underdogs, addiction, war, forgiveness … there’s so much to write about the human condition and so much to love about even flawed people. How could I ever be poor?
