Now you too can learn the best methods for writing the story you know is lurking deep inside you!

I hope to see you at the launch party!

PRAISE FOR REDEEMING GRACE

"Rarely does a book so succinctly capture the damage that fundamentalist Christianity can cause women," said SageWoman magazine. "Redeeming Grace is a gentle, well-written reminder of the possibility of using faith and the power of love to liberate women to a fuller life...which is not dependent on doctrine."

PRAISE FOR THE CABIN

Full of Byzantine twists and turns, Smoky Trudeau’s The Cabin is a fascinating read. This truly beautiful tale of humanity’s connection to the natural realm and to a force we cannot see teaches us that the world is, indeed, a wondrous place full of magic we do not understand. I highly recommend this haunting tale.
