A CREATIVE CRISIS

Excerpted from "Miles to Go."

Even as Lindsay Malone feels new bursts of energy, as she prepares to move into their new home, her daughter Summer faces a creative crisis of formidable proportions.

Timothy Desmond has just joined this site. He's going to be selling his historical thriller "For Thou Art With Me" at the Hanford BookFest on April 19. Please "befriend" this Valley author.
