I didn’t have a choice about whether or not to write Rarity from the Hollow, my debut novel. Nobody put a gun to my head, but same as — the psychological need to begin and follow through on the project had become so intense that my physical health was affected.

I worked for Children’s Home Society of West Virginia in the early ’80s as the Director of Shelter Care. Essentially, I created and managed a network of emergency shelters for children. Established in 1893, this nonprofit agency delivers a variety of services, including adoption. Today, more than 13,000 children and family are served each year. I know that author proceeds from Rarity from the Hollow is a drop in a big bucket, but even a new pair of sneakers enhances the self-esteem of an abused child who doesn’t have a permanent home.
