An Alle Alert!
For writers, parents, and former children.
Publishes twice weekly - crisp and lively!
Each week, I post:
one writing tip;
one publishing/promotions tip; and
the occasional think-piece or shameless self-promotion disguised as a service piece or artistic referral. HA!
I’m a multi-prize-winning author, writing teacher and speaker who shares the joy and creativity in trauma recovery.
My debut novel: As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back, received ten prizes/honors, including Amazon Kindle #1 in “Literary” & “Coming of Age.”
SO THAT’s what I write about.
PRAISE:
“With a realistic redemption arc, As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back is a novel in which a survivor of abuse achieves a gritty, tender coming-of-age and reinvents herself.” —Karen Ribgy, The Foreword.
“A rare novel that shows how easily childhood trauma can be internalized and normalized, distorting our coming-of-age. Hall takes us by the hand and walks us to a better, more hopeful place. An outstanding debut.” —Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet.
