edit data

The winner of her city’s writing award in 2011, Ryshia Kennie’s novels have taken her characters from the depression era prairies in her first book “From the Dust” to a across the globe and back again. There’s never a lack of places to set a story as the too long prairie winters occasionally find her with travel journal in hand seeking adventure on foreign shores. While facing off a Monitor Lizard before breakfast or running through the Kasbah chased by an enraged Water Carrier aren’t normal travel experiences and might never find a place in one of her stories, they do make great travel stories. When not collecting odd memories from around the world, she’s writing mainly romantic suspense and women’s fiction. For more, visit her website at ...more

Let the Snow Games Begin!

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in the frozen north. Although we're not frozen yet, we are having our first snowfall. And, it's a little too soon for my liking. I know snow is pretty enough if you're watching it from the inside out. But it's a little chilly if you reverse that look. I don't think my crows are too thrilled. Although I did tell the crazy little murder of three that they should head s
