Meet Lay Dominican Catholic Writer Sarah Greydanus

Last updated on: September 11, 2026 at 9:18 pm By Mark Wilson

One of the joys of conducting these interviews is seeing how much each writer embraces his or her skills as a calling to write. It is something that has seeped into their bones and the fiber of their being. Our latest writer incorporates her Catholic identity into her fantasy stories. She has incorporated her very life with Catholic identity by becoming a lay Cath0lic Dominican just like my wife has become a Lay Carmelite. It’s easy to see where she... Read more

1920’s Public Domain Days – Books

Last updated on: June 8, 2026 at 2:41 am By Mark Wilson

Every year older movies and books that were written decades ago get released into the public domain. That means as an artist you can use the source material for your own creative endeavors without having to get permission to do so. You don’t have to pay any $$money to anyone or pay any licensing fees. It is part of the public domain and is yours to use for whatever your little heart wants to use it for. As of 2025... Read more

A Meditation of the Mystery of the Trinity

Last updated on: May 31, 2026 at 9:50 am By Mark Wilson

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex (May 31, 2026) In the Mystery of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – we are at home, just as Nicodemus felt at ease when he was in Jesus’ presence. The life of God is marvelous and captivating. It gives peace to our heart, which is often very restless, and it allows us to encounter our brothers and sisters in the joy of the Spirit. #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 3:16-18) We are in a position to learn from...

Meet Catholic Sci-Fi Author M.R. Leonard

Last updated on: May 25, 2026 at 6:38 am By Mark Wilson

Mixing Sci-Fi with Catholicism is like mixing Chocolate and Peanut Butter. You get an other-worldly combo of taste and flavor, imagination and truth. Mr. M.R. Leonard is very professional in his writing approach and also very relaxed and seems to be having a good time weaving a modern tale of St. Augustine through the lens of aliens and spaceships. He 0nly has one book so far to his name, but it is published with such professionalism you’d think he had... Read more

Meet the Catholic Prayerful Writer Belinda Terro Mooney

Last updated on: May 20, 2026 at 8:06 am By Mark Wilson

There are certain writers who feel called to let others know about Saints and be inspired and encouraged to call upon their intercession for us and others. Belinda felt called by God to write a prayer book to help people know and pray with the Saints on their feast days when they are most powerful in their intercession. She has a mission to help the Church pray in power this way and has given us the prayer book, Pray with Us:... Read more

Meet the Founder of Good News Ministries Terry Modica

Last updated on: May 22, 2026 at 3:30 pm By Mark Wilson

Terry exemplifies what all Catholics should strive for. A hunger and thirst for God in one’s life and the accompanying desire to share that received love from God with others. She has had a long life dedicated to preaching and teaching about our Catholic faith. She is warm and friendly and is the type of person you could sit down and have lunch with and just talk about the faith that animates your life. Terry actually has so much more... Read more

Meet Quilter and Catholic Historical Writer Anne Faye

Last updated on: May 5, 2026 at 8:13 am By Mark Wilson

The story of the Saints permeates Catholic life. They are the foundation of all stories of our Catholic faith. The New Testament contains the first saints as they walk and interact with Jesus and the early church. Throughout history these men and women continue to fascinate us with their adventures. Anne Faye has looked into some of the lives of saints closer to our times and given us novels about their lives. When she’s not creating stories, she’s creating quilts... Read more

Meet the Catholic Spiritual Writer Chris Manion

Last updated on: May 5, 2026 at 7:02 am By Mark Wilson

When I was praying recently, trying to reassure myself of God’s love of me, I thought of the title of one of Chris Manion’s books. God’s Patient Pursuit of My Soul. Just the title alone gave me some peace thinking how patient God is with me in trying to fill my soul with his life. Chris is a woman who is filled with the love of God and has expressed it in her writing. She speaks to adults with contemplative writing... Read more

Last updated on: May 15, 2026 at 10:33 pm By Mark Wilson

In every area of my life, I’ve always managed to make friends. Some of these friends stick around for a short span of time and others have been with me down the path of life for quite a while. Sometimes their canoe drifts to a different part of the stream and sometimes it floats back to the same river I’m on. A friend of mine named Gabriel, who I was friends with in both middle school and high school. He... Read more

Meet Catholic Fantasy Author Sarah Crickard

Last updated on: May 5, 2026 at 6:49 am By Mark Wilson

One of the reasons that Catholic authors can so easily embrace fantasy is because they have embraced the creative spirit of the Creator. God likes to create life. If He didn’t, He wouldn’t have created you or me and I wouldn’t have created these words that you are reading. Our next author Sarah has created her own fantasy world set in a library, a place that collects the created worlds of so many people. While we have no power to... Read more
