First, tell us a little about yourself. Let’s see – the first thing people ask when they meet me, is “How did you end up in Bermuda?”  Actually I had the good fortune to be born here. My parents were already living here and quite settled into island life by the time I came along, and here we all remained. Growing up on a tiny island has its advantages, in that I’ve done a lot of traveling, and it’s definitely a simpler way of life. I love it. When I’m not writing, I’ll work in my garden (which is in a sorry state right now!), walk my dog and hang out with my family. I also love to sing, and I’m on the worship team at our church. I kind of have a crush on the worship leader guy. (Who I happen to be married to, btw). We have two grown up kids, our daughter and her husband live in Bermuda, and our son is just abo

Hats...horns.... Congratulations, Linda Weaver Clarke!

A Warm Welcome to Derborah Piccurelli Deborah will give away an e-book. To enter to win leave a comment and an e-mail address below. Many writers have loved to read as long as they can remember. Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? Yes, I was. The books that most stick out in my mind are The Three Little Kittens (I was about 2 or 3 yrs. old), Madeline (5 or 6 years), and at around 8 yrs., I remember a book with stories about Barbie, the doll, and her boyfriend, Ken. I don’t remember the exact title, though. Neat. Why do you write? I write because I just have to. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’d do with all this stuff going on in my head. About Love Comes Calling , Deborah's Latest Book      The day new Christian, Derek Spencer, shows up on Charlie Parkes’s doorstep to make up for what he’d done, is the very day he falls in love with her. But Charlie’s sister mistakes him for a home improvement contractor, and he decides to play alo

And the winner is... Drumroll... Congratulations, Sonja!

A Warm Welcome to Amy Cattapan   Amy will give away an e-book. To enter to win leave a comment and an e-mail address below First, tell us a little about yourself. I’m a middle school English teacher in the suburbs of Chicago. I’ve wanted to be a writer since the sixth grade. In fact, by eighth grade I boldly declared in the yearbook that I would be the author of teen novels. What do you know! It actually came true! I have four brothers, so I was well steeped in Star Wars, Star Trek, and Chicago Cubs baseball growing up. While a lot of people ask if my four brothers teased me when I was little, the worst I can really complain about are the plastic spiders. Mostly, I remember them twirling my pigtails in Princess Leia buns. As an adult, I’ve spent my spare time pursuing my many interests and passions. For example, I’ve taken a variety of dance classes, including tap, jazz, salsa, and ballroom. I love to run and have completed many 5Ks and 10 Ks, along with two half mara

I'm so happy to see Spring. Here's a poem to celebrate. It was originally published in              Best New Poets of 1988.                        COUNTRY SPRING   For a peek at heaven, God gave us a country spring. where soft winds dance on open fields and gently caress golden daffodils nodding, nodding, nodding... they seem to say, "Welcome, bright new day."   Gentle drops of morning dew kiss the roses and honeysuckle too. Each sweet bloom has its own perfume.   Yellow bells mark the way for radiant colors bursting into each new day, The rhododendron, pink, or fair lilies white. It's all nature's delight.   Gail Pallotta   HAPPY SPRING!
