The Grotto Under The Tree [Guest Post + Giveaway]



Top Things
John A. Theo 


** Top things I like in a YA book hero: Faith, Integrity, intelligence, the ability to pick him or herself back up and learn from their mistakes, being afraid but going forward anyway…this is bravery.

** music playlist CHRISTIAN POP-ROCK: Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Toby Mac, Third Day. COUNTRY: some Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Rascall Flatts, some Tim McGraw. I also enjoy 80's rock and enjoy CLASSICAL, FOLK, AMERICANA and BIG BAND especially when I'm writing.

** Top rituals I like to do when I write? I like to clean the house and get all my little "to do list" things done so I can focuse just on writing. I like writing in bed rather than at my desk as well.

The Kylo chase the children and Capri in his flying galleon north into the Arctic Circle where they find the most unlikely ally.
