I first met Camille Eide at Mount Hermon where we shared a bench in the amazing Angela Hunt’s workshop where we learned about the bones of a novel.

>Introducing Sarah Sundin and her debut novel, A DISTANT MELODY
>Two years ago, I met Sarah Sundin at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. She had a friendly smile and an easy manner, and one evening we found ourselves chatting.

Now, as I sit before my computer, weary, yet brimming with inspiration, I find myself inadequate of describing …
