Before He Finds Her: A Novel by Michael Kardos My rating: 5 of 5 stars An engrossing read, Kardos’s second novel captivates both as a thriller and as a character study that asks deep questions about love, family, truth, and the will to change. As anyone who has read The Three-Day Affair might expect, KardosContinue reading “Book Review: Before He Finds Her”

A Look Behind the Curtain
Or why I haven’t written much this week! One of my many hats is Director of the Eudora Welty Writers’ Symposium at Mississippi University for Women, an annual event at which a dozen or so authors appear and read from their work.
