Quote of the Month
"Don't let fear rob you of an opportunity to shine. It took five years to publish my first novel because I was afraid to confront my past. People will love and support you. People will also criticize and judge you. Believe in yourself and trust that your unique expression is worth sharing with the world around you." B.D. Smits
