From my YA Fantasy, COUNTY CRUSH. Elaine’s family has a weird obsession with the county fair. What happens when the rules change?

“The summer has more to offer than our little county fair, and for once, we want to do other things than play games and watch you study. Does that make sense?”

Day #2 of THE SACRAMENTS:

I love reading about faith. Two great examples are PORTRAIT and GILEAD. For Joyce, Catholicism was an inescapable shadow. For Robinson, faith is luminous and sustaining. In THE SACRAMENTS, Rachel Thomas lives at that same intersection: between ritual and rupture.
