Yesterday I had the wonderful privilege of talking with Gerri Bauer, a first-time novelist with Catholic publishers Franciscan Media. Â She also loves to garden, is allergic to chocolate (the horror!), and calls herself a “certified cat lady”…Â but in spite of the cat thing, we still like her around here because […]
