I know
I haven’t been around much lately. I’ve
committed myself to writing over the summer, though I admit to being
sidetracked by edit and design jobs. But
I’m not complaining, and every once in a while, like today, I get to have a
friend over.
Today
just happens to be Day 2 on Nancy
La Ronda Johnson’s Salted
With Fire Blog Tour, and Nancy ’s
dropped by to share a little about herself, her book, her passions, and her
giveaway!
Take it away, Nancy …
Salted With Fire
Black magic, murder, insanity… humor, honor and devotion. Salted With Fire is a journey of flash
fiction and poetry that shows my writing transformation from worldly to wanting
to please God.
Flash fiction is my passion; poetry is my release. I love
creating a complete story, with a beginning, middle and end, with twists,
drama, compassion and horror, all under 1000 words. Salted With Fire isn’t just a book of stories and poetry, it is my
journey as a writer, from writing only for the mere joy of it regardless of the
message, to writing stories that highlight God’s will for people, even if the
stories are not religious in nature.
Inside are fifteen flash fiction pieces and twelve poems
with full-color pictures, and short Biblical discussions after each story.

God bless you, Nancy LaRonda Johnson! I couldn't write flash fiction to save my life. It's a true art form. Best of luck with this! (I love the title, by the way)
Thanks to you both Carol and Lisa for your well wishes and kind words! :)
