On the first day of the blog tour, Carol Gehringer had this to say about Numb: Numb is rich in plot development with twists and turns. The story starts slowly but quickly picked up the pace as Crusader and Isolda are on the run. One could easily see this as…
Yesterday, I told you the story of where the idea for Numb came from. Today, I thought I’d touch on another part of Numb‘s story, namely the cover. People often comment on how cool the cover is, and I have to agree. I’ve been very blessed with all of my…
Wow. I had to do some digging to find this, but it feels kind of good to bring it back… Every month, a group of bloggers gets together to post reviews and thoughts on a Christian science fiction and fantasy book. I used to participate in these tours a lot…
