4/1/2014.   GUEST BLOGGER PEGGY PAYNE ON NOVELS OF THE SUPERNATURAL AND EXTREMELY NATURAL

The question most writers are asked second (after the universal “What do you do?”) is “What do you write?”

Not such an easy question to answer for novelists whose books deal with both spirituality and the raw details of physical and emotional life.

More important, what if you’re a reader and want to read such a book: where do you look?  Again, not so easy.

3/29/14.  AUTHOR PEGGY PAYNE IS GUEST BLOGGER ON APRIL 1

Author Peggy Payne has chosen to craft her novels around the intersection of spirituality and physical/emotional life. Or, asPeggy Payne she explained in an interview here earlier this month, the subject chose her. The results include Revelation, Cobalt Blue, and Sister India, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

Despite her novels’ success, Peggy says she has difficulty explaining their nature and an even bigger challenge categorizing them so readers know where to find them. She’s come up with possible, somewhat whimsical, solutions to the labeling dilemma, which she shares along with actual sources for books of “expanded realism” on a guest blog post here April 1.

3/10/14  INTERVIEW WITH PEGGY PAYNE, AUTHOR OF COBALT BLUE

Throughout her career as a novelist, Peggy Payne has explored aspects of Peggy Paynespiritual and supernatural phenomena. Her first novel, Revelation, deals with a Christian minister who hears God speak to him out loud. Her second, Sister India, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, follows an American woman as she seeks sanctuary in Varanasi (Benares), India, destination of the holiest Hindu pilgrimage. Payne’s latest novel, Cobalt Blue, as I said in my review last month, describes the turbulent experience of kundalini rising. Cobalt Blue earned the rare distinction of having been the book of the month on a Playboy Radio Network program and in the top 100 spiritual books for Kindle.

BOOK REVIEW: COBALT BLUE BY PEGGY PAYNE

2/10/14  BOOK REVIEW: COBALT BLUE BY PEGGY PAYNE

Cobalt Blue is a novel about sex, and then it’s not. If you’re looking for steamy sex Cobalt Blue book coverscenes, you’ll find them here, but you’ll also find much more in the struggles of Andie Branson, a 38-year-old artist who is suddenly caught up in a puzzling chaos of inspiration and desire. Frustrated that her career is floundering (her most recent job includes the lowly work of napkin design), Andie’s interest in creating art is waning, so she’s surprised when an unexpected surge of pleasure grows into an urgent passion to paint. And so the journey begins.
