Fact and Fiction, Part 1

February 8, 2017 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Fact and Fiction

All of these "Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me" posts have been so much fun, that I thought I would continue along that line with some posts about my writing journey.

December 14, 2016 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Ben-Hur

I suppose, when most people think "Christmas reading," Ben-Hur is not the first title that comes to mind.
