The unlikely duo: (Wo)man of faith, man of science

Amy L Sauder

I’m gonna say something real controversial here: I love the TV show LOST. Don’t get me started on the ending. Its depth of character and its twisty plot, that everything doesn’t tie up in a tidy bow....like how could I not? One beautiful refrain of the story is the “Man of faith, Man of science”. Those who buy into the mystery and those who look for something logical instead. And of course, in its own way, Unfixed has some similarities in its unlikely duo.... Today on my blog, get a sneak peek into these characters and the mysteries they encounter....

Meet Max: investigator of the vanishing circus

Amy L Sauder

Max snuck up on me. I started writing a story about impulsive, naïve Julia running away to the circus.

Eat the frog or take a walk

Amy L Sauder

4 pandemic reads from author friends

Amy L Sauder

During the pandemic, some people hunkered down to ride out the storm and just tried to get by. (To be clear, I am "some people" here.) Others found opportunity - or made opportunity - amidst it. *intercom voice* These are those people, and these are - literally - their stories. If you've been waiting around for my new book, or if you've been devouring every story in sight the past 2 years and need something fresh, have I got a post for you.....
