#GirlsRock: An Interview with Author Jennie Davenport

Girls rock.

You didn’t hear it here first, but you’ve heard it here. As an occasional series, I’d like to spotlight some women who blaze trails for girls like my daughters. It’s a beautiful age we live in. A girl can do anything she sets her mind to.

Meet author Jennie Davenport. Yes, she’s a Denver Broncos fan, but that’s just a bonus. Jennie writes a compelling blend of romance, paranormal and retelling of fairy tales. Jennie’s introspection and ability to find light in darkness, and find it within herself.

She’s funny, sensitive, introverted and charming all at once. Please give Jennie a warm CD welcome, and check out her page, at Romanticizing Reality.

Sometimes, church people lie.

This isn’t to disparage church people. They rock at potlucks and stewardship, and I really dig the New Testament, especially the Gospels and Paul’s letters. Paul’s one of my writing heroes, right along with Hemingway, Chaucer and Jennie Davenport.

It’s not a horrible lie, but they say it: God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle.

Well, that’s shitty.
