Featured Post: A Thousand Flying Things by Kathryn Brown Ramsperger
Kathryn wrote her debut novel, The Shores of Our Souls, in response to 9/11’s Ground Zero, because she wanted to center and align people and shift societal prejudices and labels. As a young adult, she devoured novels by writers who cared about social justice: Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Eudora Welty (a frequent visitor to her university campus), Barbara Kingsolver, and Anne Lamott. Her favorite novel is John Steinbeck’s East of Eden.
As a quirky, weird child, Kathryn wanted to shift the world through words and stories. Every summer she sat on a wooden porch swing, listening to friends and relatives weave stories of the day, the weather, local politics, and news from all around. Yet she wanted to leave and live far beyond that porch.
MANY VOICES
As she began to travel, Kathryn still felt a longing to tell stories, carrying family love and Southern lore with her. She felt a pull to see the world, so she became a journalist, publishing in newspapers, magazines and literary journals, working full-time for the National Geographic Society. She felt a longing to support that world, so she joined the International Red Cross and Red Crescent. She wanted to connect the world and its stories, to link people needing help to those who could help them, so she became an entrepreneur, a speaker, and a coach.
ONE WORLD
Through her journey, and other people’s stories, she’s come to see the world as One. Decades from that porch swing, she continues to share stories, connecting neighbors from one continent to the next. She’s given a voice to the homeless, people with AIDS, patients searching for a blood or bone marrow donor, neighborhoods ravaged by disaster, refugees fleeing poverty and civil strife, and victims of war.
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES
Kathryn always returns to the WORD. She’s used words to:
• win the Hollins University Fiction Award for her novel Moments On The Edge,
• write award-winning nonfiction,
• direct an international publications department,
• own a cause-related marketing business,
• create her umbrella company, Ground One, to search for solutions that will result in social change,
• receive literary and cause-related marketing awards,
• sing as a mezzo soprano,
• shake the hands of Jimmy Carter, Princess Diana, and Nelson Mandela,
• break bread with Kinky Friedman and Marita Golden,
• meet people on almost every continent,
• teach and speak to people searching for inner peace, their own grounding, in a world that sometimes seems all chaos.
Kathryn graduated Phi Beta Kappa in English from Hollins University in Virginia, and earned her graduate degree in Publications Management from George Washington University. She’s lived and worked in Europe and Africa, traveling throughout the Middle East. Her most recent short story, “A Green Rose,” was published by and received an award of excellence from the journal Willow Review, and The Shores of Our Souls was a semi-finalist in the Faulkner-Wisdom Literary Competition. All of her writing focuses on the search for peace and the connections we all share.

Featured Post: Half-Assed by Francesca Flavia
I’m a writer, copy editor, adjunct writing instructor, mom (to kids, dogs, cats, and anyone really who needs me), wife (a cranky one), and a bunch of other insignificant life pursuits. I have a love/hate relationship with writing, but I utterly adore words. Primarily, I write fiction these days, but in the past I wrote nonfiction, poetry, grocery lists, people I hate lists, and well, lots of other genres. Despite my pitiful track record, I also am obsessed with real estate. I hope you are too.

Featured Post: An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze by David Scott Richardson
David Scott Richardson’s new work of MG/YA historical fiction, An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze, explores life on the home front during WWII. Drawing from two decades as a sixth-grade teacher, Richardson recognizes history as the keel that keeps us upright in heavy seas and aims to forge a connection with those who were more than a generation unborn when the world went to war.
Richardson’s characters convey nuanced and diverse perspectives as they work to unravel ethical knots—from the origins of war to the meaning of a promise—and shed light on how beliefs and fears influence one’s choices. His themes probe father-son conflicts, grief, and ethical dilemmas, all while invoking an innate connection with nature, compelling the heart as much as the mind.
Richardson’s first MG/YA historical novel, River’s Reach: Coming of Age Amid the Fish War, was published in September 2023.
