Hi! Lindi here. Sometimes, we have to go back to the beginning. I believe writing is a passion. At least it is for me. There are many writers, readers, conferences, teachers, books and critiques that made me the writer I am today. I came across this picture on FB. From left […]
New Release! When Snowflakes Never Cease
I’m very excited to have been part of the latest Crossroads Collection. If you’ve never heard of the Crossroads before, they’re the brainchild of Christian romance and suspense author Amanda Tru, where all of the books in a collection all have some common theme, and the final book ties them all together. They’re quite brilliant. […]
Small Ways To Make Christmas Special
I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving! Then right on its heels is Christmas. Last year, I wrote a Madison Creek Township Christmas novella, but I decided not to publish it until this year. (At the time, I didn’t realize I’d have two other Christmas stories also coming out (as part of collections with other […]
Sunday Edition
Happy Sunday! I spent this past week in Las Vegas at the 20BooksVegas conference. It’s a huge, very well planned and organized conference specifically for indie authors of all sorts. I will admit to not always being the first person to volunteer for conferences. A large part of this is simply that conferences tend to […]

Touring Ireland! Star Rising by Janet W. Ferguson
Isn’t it fun to travel, whether vicariously in a book, or in real life? Last year, I was blessed to get to travel to Ireland with my family. This year, I relived a good bit of that trip when I took my characters on a similar journey! It was so much fun! One particular scene […]
Doin’ It Right by Mary Manners
“If you’re going to do something, then do it right.” Those words, spoken by my father, came to me the winter of my thirteenth year as I delivered newspapers along my route on the streets of Elmwood Park, a suburb of Chicago. It was the winter of 1976 and we were in the clutch of […]
A New Beginning by Merrillee Whren
Last month I talked about a letter I had written to myself that contained goals. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had accomplished all five things on the list. One of the things on the list was to request my rights back for one of my Love Inspired books, Montana Match. A week […]
Hey! What about Thanksgiving?!
Here in the US, it seems like the last wisps of smoke from the fireworks have barely begun to fade from the July sky when all the craft and hobby stores begin rolling out the fall and Christmas stuff. It never fails, immediately people begin lamenting it coming “earlier every year” and grousing about seeing […]
