On October 27, 2005, we were delighted to announce that semi-professional author  Colleen Drippe', who contributed "The Bale Fire" to our Spring, 2005 issue,  had joined our staff .  Her first children's book The Little Blue House and its sequel, Christmas at the Little Blue House, available at  Little Flowers Family Apostolate, detail the continuing story of a large traditional Catholic family in the modern world.  Her book, Godcountry,  published by Novelbooks, is " The most believable science fiction I've seen in a long time--science fiction that understands the human condition and human soul yet still fascinates with the marvels of the future." (Review by William Ferguson, publisher of the St. Linus Review,  Tulsa, OK).

    Little Flowers Family Apostolate has just published Mystery at Miner's Creek, Colleen's exciting new novel for young readers.  Read about it at the book's new website.

            Mrs. Drippe' welcomes submissions from  Catholic authors whose work artistically reflects our most holy faith.  She encourages writers to familiarize themselves with our writers' guidlines and to subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed regarding submission deadlines.
