Radio Interview

Thanks to Wendy Wiese for interviewing me on her radio program last Friday. I really enjoyed talking to her about communicating with kids -- and about my new book Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction. If you missed the interview, you can listen now by clicking this link, then "On Call," then May 23. The first half hour is an interesting interview with two Pauline sisters talking about their books, and my interview is the second half hour. Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Radio Interview!

I'm being interviewed by Wendy Wiese on Relevant Radio this Friday between 2:00 and 3:00! I'll be talking about my new book, Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction. You can listen live here. Just click on "Listen Now." Or you can stream it later. Wish me luck!

Late Lent Story

My Light Magazine

Yes, I know Lent is over, but I thought I'd share a kids' story I had published online by My Light Magazine. It's called "Lent Later," which, yes, is kind of ironic! Check out the rest of this nice Catholic magazine while you're there.

There's nothing like....

....getting your author copies! It's so exciting to see Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction in print. Thanks so much to everybody at Pauline Books and Media for making it happen!

New Book Out!

My new book, Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction, is out! This faith-based resource uses fiction to help you talk to 11-14-year-olds about sensitive issues like pornography, cyberbullying, depression, and more. Also included are statistics, Scriptural and Catechism connections, discussion questions, activities, and other helpful features. Get it here!

Coming Soon!

My new book, Tackling Tough Topics with Faith and Fiction will be out soon! I wrote this resource for teachers, catechists, parents, homeschoolers, and anybody else who wants help talking about difficult topics with kids 11 to 14 years old. Each chapter uses a reproducible story, discussion questions, activities, scripture references, and other material to show the value of faith in difficult times and sensitive situations. The topics covered are: pornography, cyberbullying modesty, family, body image, materialism, dishonesty, substance abuse,stress to overachieve, and depression. More news later!

Too true!
