From those tales comes a novel, Tongues of Angels, an insider's view of the Catholic Church and the priesthood as it stands today.Tongues of Angels:Meet Rob Souza as he faces the challenges of the priesthood-gossip, innuendo, church politics, public scandals-and Jessica, a young woman with a secret past. Meet Lawrence, Rob's best friend, a gay priest who somehow becomes the third in this odd love triangle. While Jessica finds hope and healing, Rob and Lawrence discover that, despite their best intentions, a promise of celibacy is hard to keep.

Orangeberry Book Of The Day – Playing Nice by Rebekah Crane

Martina “Marty” Hart is really nice. At least, that’s what people think.

It’s Marty’s junior year at Minster High. Minster’s a small town where making great grades, smiling pretty, helping old people, running the new-student Welcoming Committee, and putting up decorations for all the dances–including the totally awful Hot Shot fall hunting celebration–gets you … what? Marty’s not sure.

Instead of dreaming about a sororities-and-frats future at nearby University of Michigan, she’s restless, searching for a way out of the box her controlling mother and best frenemy Sarah have locked her in. When Lil–don’t call her Lily!–Hatfield transfers to Minster, Marty gets her chance. Lil’s different. She smokes, wears black, listens to angry punk records, and lives in a weird trailer with her mother. Lil has secrets–secrets that make her a target for all the gossiping and online bullying Minster can muster. But so does Marty. And Marty sees something different in Lil. Something honest. Something real.

Playing Nice is the achingly real story of a girl who’s been following the rules for so long she’s forgotten who she was when she started. It’s about falling in love with the wrong people and not seeing the right ones, about the moments in life when you step out of line, take a chance … and begin to break free.

Author Interview – Jordan Rosenfeld

What are your goals as a writer? My goals are to tell compelling stories full of tension and complexity that you think about after you’re done reading.

Do you have to travel much concerning your book(s)? Not necessarily, but I’m open J

Have you ever considered anyone as a mentor? Many people have been my mentors. Every teacher I’ve learned from. My writing book Make a Scene is dedicated to Stephanie Moore, a wonderful teacher who died of cancer at far too young. The author-teachers who guided me at Bennington: Jill McCorkle, Sheila Kohler, Alice Mattison and Martha Cooley, but also other less well known writers who are amazing, undersung talents: Susan Bono, Guy Biederman. And many of my author friends.

Who is your favorite author and why? No single favorite, I’m afraid. I like rich, dark, complex books by any author. I’m a huge fan of Donna Tartt, who only puts out a book every 10 years, but she’s one of many.

Can we expect any more books from you in the future? Many!

Have you started another book yet?
Yes, I have several books in progress, but I’ll be focusing on one in specific as soon as Forged in Grace is sufficiently launched into the world.

Where do you see yourself in five years? Writing and publishing happily and promoting indie authors far and wide.

What are your current writing projects now? I’m working on a novel called Acts of Frivolity about a former dancer who gave up her passion when she found herself pregnant, who is invited into a strange, fringe “performing troupe” that leads to danger and some surprising truths about her origins.

Are you reading any interesting books at the moment? Yes! Billie Thomas’ “Murder on the First Day of Christmas” which is the first in the Chloe Carstairs mysteries. Frankie Rose’s “Hope” series.
