Puppy Love

November 18, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

I’ve never been a huge animal lover. Growing up, we had dogs and cats. Living down the road from my grandparents’ dairy farm, I was exposed to all kind of barnyard animals. When our boys were small, we added a beautiful Yellow Lab to our family, but due to our son’s allergies, our Samantha ended […]

Grow Old Along With Me

October 15, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

When I was in junior high, my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party consisting of family and friends. I have a very large extended family, so people had traveled from all over the country to attend. The family photo included many people, but what I remember most is the love and devotion […]

Making the Grand Gesture

August 14, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

I love the movie, Chasing Liberty, with Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode. Even though it’s about a decade old, the movie is a great example of making the grand gesture for the ones you love. In Chasing Liberty, Mandy Moore plays Anna Foster, who is the First Daughter. Having a dad (played by the fabulous […]

Tips for Writing Character Dates

July 14, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

Today marks the 26th anniversary of my first date with Hubby. As I’ve mentioned in a previous blog post, we had met unexpectedly at the family restaurant where I worked during the summer when I was 19. He had been stationed in the USMC and was home on leave. Our first date happened the night […]

The Love of Friendship

June 13, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

When it’s my turn to blog, I usually sit in my overstuffed leather chair in the corner of my living room. It’s my favorite writing spot. Today I’m writing this blog from a place I never expected to be–sitting in a recliner beside my very sick son’s bed in a university hospital three hours from […]

The Boy Next Door: Inspiration for Lakeside Sweethearts

May 8, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

Ask any writer about common questions they’re asked, and they’re most likely to say “Where do you get your story ideas?” is one of them. Several people have asked, “What inspired Agnes’s story?” Lakeside Sweethearts is the story of two longtime best friends who work together on a community project and try not to risk […]

He Makes Everything Beautiful

April 3, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

After my dad’s death last July, I helped my stepfamily clean out my dad’s workshop.  While cleaning out the upstairs, I came across the perfect sized table to put next to my writing chair—square with a drawer and a small shelf to hold my Bible and writing books. The top of the table had water […]

When Friends Fall in Love

February 28, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

When I was 19, I worked as a waitress at a local family restaurant to put myself through college. One weekend in May, a handsome man walked through the front door. His image is imprinted permanently on my brain—blue pants, blue and white striped shirt, white shoes (Miami Vice era, friends). I was attracted the […]
