Thank you very much for hosting me on your blog. I am very excited, because In Good Faith , my new inspirational romance novel, has just been released. It is the first book in my new series, the Dunbar Falls Series. Interesting. Does your faith affect your writing? If so, how? I’m so glad you asked me that question.

Researching a New Frontier By Lisa Lickel I am a mid-level science fiction and fantasy fan. I remember pitching a fit when my parents made me go to bed halfway through episodes of the Original Star Trek because I had to get up for school the next day.

But I’m not crazy…not really. I mean, I write cute mysteries with cats and romance and family drama. For the same reason I won’t ever write history (again) I don’t want to stray into the strange and fierce world of science fiction: I love it too much and I’m too picky about miscues and things I can’t wrap my head around…like television. Seriously, how does it work
