Seeking Patience by Josie Riviera—Exploring the Fascinating Culture of the Romany
Exploring the fascinating culture of the Romany. (Gypsies) “Gadje Gadjensa, Rom Romensa.” This is a Romany (Gypsy) saying that means “Gadje with Gadje, Rom with Rom.” So what is a gadje?

It’s no coincidence that in my hours, days, and months of researching the Romany for Seeking Patience, little information was available.

It’s a dystopian Christian fiction novel, and instead of using a fictional setting I decided to use the area I know best—central Texas. So what is dystopian fiction? At its core this type of story deals with a major shift in society—a plague or a global natural disaster or a man-caused universal change across the breadth of society. In Deep Shadows, a solar flare causes a disruption in all things electrical for the foreseeable future....
