Mysteries of History

March 18, 2020 By D'Ann Mateer

One of the reasons I love history is because so often it is full of mystery. As a novelist, I love stepping into that mystery with my imagination, building from what I know of an era to fill in the spaces of people’s stories that history has left blank.

I’m supposed to be editing…

March 12, 2020 By Cara Putman

I've got edits back on my next book. I also have a book releasing in three weeks on April 7th. I'm so excited about Flight Risk! I can't wait to read your reactions to Savannah and Jett's story.

It's hard to imagine a childhood without Dr. Seuss. I vividly recall several of his books being among my childhood favorites. Those catchy rhymes and silly stories. What child wouldn't be captivated? I remember my favorites being One Fish, … [Read more...]

Book Movies

March 4, 2020 By D'Ann Mateer

In the past few weeks, my husband and I have watched three book movies—movie adaptations of classic literature. (One was technically a mini-series, but still.) We love these kinds of movies, both because we know the story will be good, for it has endured the test of time, and also because we enjoy the historical world on screen.  Also, It’s always interesting to see how closely a filmmaker … [Read more...]
