Today, I want to introduce you to my Brave Author of the Month, D.T. Powell. In June, D.T. released her Contemporary Christian novel, With Mercy’s Eyes.

The Lighter Side: An Excerpt from N.Y. Dunlap’s The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy
This blog is often laden with historical themes and some of the weightier questions those themes present. Today, I want to offer something a bit lighter. N.Y. Dunlap writes romantic comedies, but since she’s part of our Brave Authors group, you know she’s not afraid to address heavier themes in her own way. I’m goingContinue reading “The Lighter Side: An Excerpt from N.Y. Dunlap’s The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy”
