I Love When Dreams Come True

Reading and interview with one of the new best-selling authors, Alice Feeney, recalling her memories of being a little girl, scribbling on pieces of paper, and folding them into books; well it made me smile. 

Feeney's journey toward her dream is inspiring. Working for the BBC, while secretly learning the craft of fiction, struggling with rejections, yet determined to make it; it almost sounds like a modern fairy tale. 

Sometimes I Lie is a captivating thriller that kept me guessing. I loved the many twists and turns, as I couldn't decide whom to trust and whom to dislike. Interesting setting, bold exploration of human psyche, scary moments that kept me going. This novel was a fun ride. 

The announcement of the production of limited series based on this book is just a cherry on the sundae. I am looking forward to the spring release of I Know Who You Are, now available for pre-order.

The Power of Story

My grandparents allowed me to live in a world of stories. I grew up immersed in their unconditional love, limitless patience, and storytelling.

Oblivious to the perils of our subdued nation, I climbed trees, talked to chickens, and wore dress up clothes. My days entailed brave explorations, hands-on learning, and an occasional scraped knee.

However, the most special moments arrived with twilight. Grandpa would sit in his wing chair, cat purring on his lap, and Grandma and I would snuggle up on the sofa. This was story time.

Through the power of story, I was transported past the boundaries of time and space. On my journeys, I met the most interesting characters, experienced tragedies, and comedies of ordinary life, and understood my roots.

Since then, I traveled through many winding paths. Guided by wise mentors, learning from the best storytellers of our time, I spent countless hours developing my craft. I love the power of story. For a good story possesses the ability to captivate us, entertain us, and give us hope, but the best stories hold power to change our lives.
