In Darkness There is Light

by  

This is not only a tagline for the kind of fiction I write, it is a tagline for my life. When my husband was laid off and went almost a year without work, there was light. When my son became so ill he stopped breathing and had to be lifeflighted to Portland, there was light. When a lump the size of a golf ball was found in my breast, there was light. It wasn’t a blazing light; it wasn’t a burst of sunshine. The darkness that filled my life during those times felt so overbearing that I felt I would …

Writing in the Dark

by  

I began writing about six years ago. Little did I know the steep learning curve that came with that particular “hobby” or the things God would teach me through the process. At first I wrote scenes that came to me. I fiddled around with plots, never quite knowing where I was going. As I wrote, life continued to roll by. God move my family a couple times.

All I can do is stare at the small pile of grey ash. Cludge…was not Cludge. He had been something more. One of the ancient ones from the last Great Age. Tekla sobs as Barzillai helps her to her feet. He bends his face toward hers and whispers something. She sniffs and wipes her face. Her eyes come to full bore on me. “Why didn’t you do …

Behind the Story: The Sea People of Avonai

by  

I love to read about how writers came up with their ideas for different characters, places, etc… and thought it would be fun to share here at MLP how I came up with some of my own. Enjoy! The Sea People of Avonai Readers have told me they love the sea people of Avonai from my book, Daughter of Light. For those of you who have not read it yet, they are a race of people who live along the eastern coast of the continent and are so connected to the sea that they can feel the sea inside their veins …

Interview with Morgan Busse

by  

Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Morgan Busse (*Originally posted May 2012) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction author Morgan Busse. While most authors begin their story with knowing they were destined to be a writer at an early age, such is not the case with Morgan. When she was young she wanted to be a Pegasus unicorn… She never managed to become that elusive magical creature. Instead, she grew up to be a wife and mother. She says that sometimes that experience is equally magical, and sometimes she wishes she had magic. (The “flick …
