I never thought Friday the 13th would end up being such an important day for me, but there you go. I'm officially a published author. It's only my great life dream come true. I want to share it. I want you to know about it, and read it, and keep me motivated to try me hand a getting my novel published ;)

Q&A and Writing Samples!

Hi everyone! Lots of exciting stuff going on at the Raven's Quill.

Today we have an interview with T. James about his new novella "My Mirror Self, and I". "Intimate and real, this is a story about finding courage in the face of adversity. Cassie is a young woman struggling to keep herself, and everything else, from falling apart as she tries to deal with breast cancer and depression. Can she find the strength she needs to rescue her marriage and reclaim her life?"

Also new: two pieces of flash fiction, "Panther" - the winner of the March Flash Fiction on Devin's forum, and "Stolen" - a random piece inspired by a random prompt.
