In my novel, The Shattered Vase, the main character, Suzie, has a struggle with covetting her husband’s new mansion. This is not exactly coveting thy neighbor’s house but it may be much more than that because coveting is listed among the Ten Commandments.

I did not have the honor of meeting the royal family though. (Shucks) I worked in churches out there during that special summer. I …

In my novel, The Shattered Vase, I have a chapter where the main character has a flashback of horrific child abuse she suffered as a little girl. I hope that this chapter diminishes the incidence of child abuse because it takes the reader into the mind of a child who has been abused. Yet, soon …
