This past week I got to go back to a place that holds a special place in my heart. Johnson City, Tennessee. Its where my husband and I lived for ten years, raised our kids, and found our rescue dog, who later rescued us. Its where we made great friends. The kind that you can …
This week brings you a wonderful entry by my friend and guest blogger, J.T. Bishop. I am often told by people when they learn Im a writer how theyve always wanted to write a book. How they have a book in them but dont have the time to write it. Or how theyve started but …
