I’d like to introduce you to author Rich Phelan. After reading an excerpt of Rich’s work, I’m excited that he’ll be speaking at the Writer’s Conference in April. You can find more details about this conference at the end of the interview.  One thing I enjoy about interviewing other authors is seeing how differently our minds work. I enjoy knowing that some of us share a similar writing process while others encourage me, through our differences, to try something new.  I also love hearing how different authors describe themselves and the part of their brain that houses all the stories waiting to be written. In this interview, I particularly enjoyed…

  My family had the privileged of meeting Tim Shoemaker at the Cincinnati Homeschooling Convention this summer. Our oldest son, Daniel (14) first noticed The Code of Silence series because of the great cover art.  After reading the book’s synopsis, Daniel was hooked; he had to own the series and couldn’t wait to get back to our hotel room to start reading them. He had all three books read within a week and then handed them to his brother.
