A few months ago, Sarah Collins Honenberger joined in the discussion about whether the HPV vaccine Gardasil should be mandated for American girls. Shortly thereafter, she was kind enough to send me her novel, White Lies: A Tale of Babies, Vaccines, and Deception, which is inspired by the real-life events of North Carolina mother Lacy […]
Laura Sessions Stepp seems to think so, and it’s not a very popular opinion. Her book Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both, released on February 15, 2007, is unexpectedly controversial. The focus? The emotional and psychological damaged caused by women’s engagement in casual sex encounters.

Now a grandmother and contributing editor for Guideposts magazine, Bond West has had to overcome early […]
I’m attempting to try something new this month. I’m joining in with at least 60,000 other people around the world who will be trying to write a novel. November is National Novel Writing Month. Care to join us?
I’ve written plenty of short stories, but never developed a character into a full-length novel. I’m excited […]
I’ve gotten WAY, WAY off track this week with my work deadlines and other things going on in my personal life. Can you say stressed out? That’s me.

If you love to read a good chick-lit novel, I highly recommend Calm, Cool, and Adjusted by Kristin Billerbeck. It’s the third installment in her Spa Girls trilogy, but you can jump right in and get caught up.
The main character, Poppy Clayton, is a bit obsessive about her health. She’s a chiropractor, partial to frothy-green […]
