She knew going deep into the forest was a bad idea but of course Abilene just had to ignore all the warning signs in her brain. Every part of her body seemed to be screaming ‘run away!’ yet didn’t appear to comply. True unadulterated fear was temporarily disabling her senses as the…

car during the 12 hour drive to Gulf Shores became SO boring that I decided to read… yes, read. Having brought two books along, I finally chose to read Moon Over Manifest. Typically, I would not choose to read in general, and especially not a book having anything to do with history, but, frankly, this book exceeded my expectations.
