WOW blog tour stop No. 10
I am so excited to be the guest blogger on Women's Memoirs today. Thank you Robyn and Jodi of WOW-Women on Writing for arranging this stop for me. Kendra and Matilda of Women's Memoirs asked me a series of questions about journaling and writing my memoir, Leaving the Hall Light On, as they related to my path to healing after my son Paul's suicide.

The music player is inserted right there on the blog. Please take a look at this wonderful and useful blog to writers of all genres. http://womensmemoirs.com/memoir-book-reviews/memoir-book-discussion-leaving- the-hall-light-on-by-madeline-sharples/ … [Read more...]
