An Interview with Jackson T. McCrae

Jackson Tippett McCrae always knew he wanted a life in the arts. After the sleeper success of his debut novel, The Bark of the Dogwood, McCrae is back with a collection of short stories that dance to his muse.

Writing on the Wings of Grace
An Interview with Vanessa Griggs
by Pam Kingsbury

In many ways, Vanessa Davis Griggs’ life is much like that of her characters. She understands what it means to have a good work ethic, to get knocked down and get back up, and to trust her instincts. Her innate spirituality and passionate nature form both her personal and writing life.

by Marsha Marks 

I once worked on a humor piece with an editor who was a literalist, literally. I would write the line, "People were laughing their heads off." And she would write back, "I have a problem with rolling body parts."
