Recently, we welcomed talented, multi-genre writer Jody T. Morse to the Spider Road Press team. We’re impressed with her varied writings. We asked her to tell us about a book that inspired her…

At ten-years-old, my beloved Grandma Jean gave me one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received: a small tattered book with well-worn, yellowed pages. The cover read “Angel Unaware by Dale Evans Rogers.” This tiny tome about the death of her young daughter helped shape me into a person of compassion, seeking connection while also harboring a deep-seated belief in the power of words.

Which is how, three decades later, I’m not surprised to find myself working with a small press dedicated to promoting quality writing by and/or about strong women.

My name is Jody T. Morse and I’m a well-traveled, multi-genre writer with a passion for writing words that encourage healing, bridge social gaps and elicit emotion. I look forward to sharing more of my writing and ideas with the Spider Road Press family of readers and writers.
