Chernobyl, Red Forests and a Walk Forward

About Me
My name is Hallie. Formerly a pastor, I now devote my time to writing. The two most important blog entries (if you want to understand who I am today) are “A Family Exiled: Parts One and Two.”
When I began this blog, I knew I would be telling stories of my life. Once I wrote The Family Exiled posts, I knew I would need to set the blog aside for awhile. More time to heal. More time to process.
Since then, life carried on with the pace of a freight train. There have been surgeries, pit bull attacks, a life saved, lives lost and a near miss. My shoulders live in a perpetual and special state of “tight” that in all actuality means “What is the fork is wrong with this woman?”
I have been working on a historical fiction novel and it is a project I am both proud of and encouraged by. I learned that research is an untapped well of joy and skill I was previously ignorant to.
My friend circle is much smaller but much deeper than before.
I’m going to keep telling you stories. Hopefully, you will be entertained and maybe even laugh occasionally. Enjoy!
