My Review of Coming Home

This book was the idea of Chrissy Moon, whom I recently featured with her book of poetry Maybe That Isn’t Her. She had this idea earlier last year and recruited a few authors to write stories with the theme of Coning Home.

One Christmas came out in December, it dealt with bereavement, and learning to live and love again. Copies flew off the shelf and… Continue reading Looking Back on 2022 and forward to 2023
