This line is from a part of the story where the Amish of Hager's Valley are in dire need of laughter, someone to chase the black crow away. Here's hoping the crow lifts off your roof today, and you can see clear skies above you.

QOTD: What throwback song is your guilty pleasure?
I‘m not saying mine‘s the Thong Song, but this was such a fun scene to write partly because I‘ve never seen the lyrics of the Thong Song sung by a fictional character before. I liked the idea of a long haul trucker being a fan of 90‘s rap and hip hop, mumbling it as he gets out to check on his truck.
🌘International Giveaway 🌒 It's the middle of April and we've been in quarantine for 7 years now. If you're like me, you're scouring the internet for some new recipes. Well, here's some good news!

This or that: Mysterious stranger or boy next door?
Why choose? While TWH isn‘t a romance, per se, there is a good deal of romantic turmoil between a few of the characters. In this scene, we‘re introduced to Yves, a Belarusian immigrant with a storied past. He‘s one of my favorite characters in the novel and is critical to the young woman that Hadassah becomes.

Who would have guessed that Covid-19 would find us in the same town where my newest novel takes place? The beautiful thing about it is the time is giving me to go slow and take in the rumbling of trains, the tang of home cooked sourdough, the clop of horse hooves and scrape of buggy wheels.

You've labored for months and, all of a sudden, it's over and done. I've decided, with my latest novel, that I'd like to prolong that publishing process. The best method I've found is to launch a Patreon account where you can get weekly chapters from the new novel plus lots more. What I'm most excited about, though, are deeper conversations. If you're interested, check out my Patreon page: Patreon.com/owenbanner

so-soA man named Shirley is tricked into working for a radical faction of the IRA. The story is interesting and it would benefit from a good editor. Entire chapters devoted to terrifying dreams as well as Shirley‘s childhood shed little light on the character and seem more like filler. Also, while the book is open for a sequel (there are two more stories), as a reader I would have preferred more closure. I may read the next one but not for a while.
