Over the spring and summer of 2019, I read everything written by Francine Rivers. I had known of her for a long time, but, for whatever reasons, I had deliberately ignored her books. I began with The Masterpiece and fell in love with the way the author combines a fictional story with God’s truth.
I also read my first Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None; Before the Fall (which had been on my TBR shelf for a long time); Glenn Greenwald’s book on Edward Snowden and US surveillance, No Place to Hide; The Wish Collector; and several YA love stories from Audible’s romance package.

I wasn't encouraged to read as a child so I didn't start reading for pleasure until I was in my 20s. I imagine that I would have loved Dr. Seuss because I have a habit of rhyming everything all the time. I also think I would have loved Shel Silverstein since The Giving Tree remains one of my all-time favorite books. Anyway... the first book I remember falling in love with was The Bridges of Madison County, which also ignited a life-long fascination with India. In addition, I have to say that Twilight is responsible for my current love affair with YA paranormal romance.

While I don't actually think of myself as a writer, I would have to say that the best thing about having written a book is that... I wrote a book! ;) It's a permanent, tangible thing that reflects where you were (metaphorically speaking) at that exact time of your life and it will continue to exist even when you don't.

The follow-up to Genesis is Revelation.

Back at the height of the Twilight craze, I was awakened from yet another Edward dream (embarrassing, I know) with the outline for Genesis filling my head. I believe this was a gift from God. He wanted me to have a Twilight of my own. What's amazing is that there were elements of the story that I hadn't known prior to this happening that turned out to be real. Biggest example: the fact that there really is an Eden, Georgia.
