Maybe the gods of the literary world heard my prayers. That’s the only thing I can think of as to how this book, a book about a girl who wants to be a knight, came into existence. I had tweeted in March that I was in desperate need for a book about a lady knightContinue reading “The Life and (Medieval) Times of Kit Sweetly”

In the Role of Brie Hutchens…
Brie Hutchens is trying to figure something out, something big, something important. It would be a lot easier if it was like one of her soap operas, something written out for her to say that perfectly describes how she feels (how does she feel?
