After the release of her first two novels,  The Light in the Wound  and  His Wounded Light , Brae never imagined that her words would touch so any people. Her third novel,  Insipid , is a standalone that was released in June 2014. She lives in Chicago, with her husband and children. 1.)     What inspired you to write In This Life? I wrote In This Life at a time when I was searching for answers for the inexplicable things that had   happened to me in the last two years. My books are a reflection of my emotions and feelings at various stages in my life. The stories may or may not be all fiction, but the emotions, thoughts and words are real. 2.)     You’ve written a few other romance novels. What attracts you to this type of genre? Love is universal. It drives our actions, it rules our lives. I believe in it so much, in its power to redeem and change and form a person. My novels are about strong women and their life’s journeys. It just so happens

Paperback:  212 pages Publisher:  Chapter Eight Press; 1 edition (December 4, 2014) ISBN:  9780993973307  Comedian Stephen Colbert seized his place in the pop-culture imagination as an over-the-top fake news pundit and anchor of the hit show  The Colbert Report . Achieving record ratings and a massive fan base, the show has been a vehicle for Colbert to become a larger than life personality and household name. His sweeping satire, political bent, religious views, and cultural critique have led people to call him everything from “comedic genius” to “ideological fanatic.” Good comedy is about more than just getting laughs. Good comedy tells the truth, reveals that the Emperor has no clothes, and shines light into the dark corners of our world. While Stephen Colbert is no stranger to trivial silliness, his overall comedic voice is deep and profound. This voice – honed over hundreds of episodes, public appearances, and public stunts – is fundamentally concerned with telling th
