PURITY REVIEWS
A captivating read! The author Merri Hiatt obviously has a true gift with words. She drew me in with her character descriptions in such a way that I really cared deeply about each and every one of them. I found her writing style accessible and engaging. With its classical simplicity and unpretentious charm, "Purity" is an entrancing tale that I would recommend highly to anyone.

Merri, I loved your book. I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next! I have to tell you that I read in bed every night before I go to sleep and I was anxious to get to bed so I could read the next chapter. The characters felt like my friends -- I could really relate to them. I also liked how Purity changed and grew throughout the book. I'm so glad this is the first in a series because I want to read more!

"The Passing" -- my latest work in progress -- it's a thriller!

Here's the first little section of a new book I'm writing. Thoughts?

All Jennifer could see of her grandmother’s body was one frail hand peeking out from under the patchwork quilt. She hated the acrid smell in the room. It always made her nose hairs stand on end. She sighed as she sat down in the uncomfortable hospital chair. Did she dare touch her grandmother’s hand? She knew it would be warm to the touch. Oh how she wished it would go stone cold.

“She’s looking quite well today,” the nurse s… Continue

New Eyes - Literally!

I am now the recipient of two ocular lenses to replace the natural lenses in my eyes. I had a cataract in my left eye, so my eye specialist referred me to an eye surgeon. Long story short, after several weeks, I now no longer need contacts or eyeglasses! Yippee!

I have to tell you that the world looks different. I've worn glasses since about second grade. To be able to wake up, open my eyes and see clearly is amazing!

My vision wasn't great at first, though. It was blurry and my eyes were dila… Continue

It's been a while

Is it really March already? My head has been spinning and whirling a bit lately. January was so incredibly busy at work and I ended up working overtime almost every day. Just when I thought I was going to have some time to get caught up at the beginning of February, my sister died suddenly. That sent my family into another mind-numbing spin. Things seem to be settling down a bit now.

When I glance over my shoulder and see two months of the new year have already gone by it is a bit shocking.

It… Continue

I wish you a new year of...

I wish you a new year of
cherishing your dreams,
honoring your spirit,
speaking the truth kindly,
forgiving and being forgiven,
walking beside a trusted friend,
listening with your heart,
being surrounded with joy,
and sharing the journey
with those you love.

Purity is available now!!

I found out today that Purity is available!! I haven't even received my author copy yet! I want to hold it in my hands and see it for myself. It is all suddenly becoming very real. I alternate between being thrilled and scared to death. Mostly, I'm thrilled. =)

It was really and truly so fabulous to type my name into the search box and see my book pop up! The cover art and description aren't posted on amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com yet, but they are posted on publishamerica.com.

Eeep!

He had been in the shelter for five days, and check out the picture of what he looked like when they pick him up...they called him the little street hippie...He is very happy in his new home and we are blessed to have found him.

Happy New Year, my friend!

At 9:09pm on September 7, 2008, OWiseOne said…: yeh...that song is special to me...Joye and I used to listen to it when she was younger and it became a part of our good nite ritual...I would sing the words..."close your eyes...and don't you worry, cause I 'm your angel...standin by" ..in the recent years its been Nanny, her Dad, Tina, and now Max....and I tell her they are our "angels standin' by" (sigh)

I'm always looking for paper to scribble things on at my computer, so I'll leave one of those notepads right here! :) AND!! I needed a new bookmark- so your beautiful poem is perfect!

At 5:40pm on September 2, 2008, MeghanwithanH said…: haha, Oh but I AM a big dork! In a good way though- like "haha, I'm such a dork"... not "jeez, you're a dork!" If that makes sense.
This is an awesome site! How'd you do it? I'd like to make my own someday.
