I don't know, exactly. I think we write the books we are given. Some combination of thoughts and memories and words suddenly converges in my brain. Sometimes, it passes quickly, like cloud patterns. Sometimes, it stays. If it stays, I write it.

I enjoyed immensely your Letters to Saint Lydia. I read it for suitability as a gift to a young Orthodox girl. When she is a little older, I will give it to her. Out of curiosity, what inspired you to write this particular book? As a fellow author who is also Orthodox, I'll definitely add your other books to my To Read list!
