I've written several short stories that deal explicitly with Mormon themes that have been published in Irreantum and Sunstone. If you're interested, I'd love to chat with you about your blog and project, which I find fascinating. You can find my contact information on my website (www.courtneysanto.com)<br /><br />Thanks<br />CourtneyCourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593795164669258568noreply@blogger.com
