Origin Stories
Work in Progress
Stacie wanted us to share our origin stories...so we did. From whales, a boy and his dog, and A Deadly Fortune, we explain how and why we started writing. We also talk about where the ideas for our current WIPs came from: a Disney World dinner, playing dress up, and a Bible character who got the short end of the stick. All that, plus Big Ass Cookies, deciding to write, UNC basketball, and more.
