Rejoice, oh weary world!

December 13, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

A few days after Thanksgiving, my husband had the chance to take a two-hour shift and ring the bell for the Salvation Army and stand watch over a kettle outside Walmart. The fun part was, he dressed as Santa, and even more fun was seeing reactions of children of all ages. Some friends came by, […]

Closer to Christmas

September 8, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

We are closer to Christmas every day. If you go to stores now, you’ll start to see decorations for fall, but at places like Hobby Lobby, the trees are already up and the ornaments for sale. It’s also closer every day to the release of Sleigh Bells Ring, a novella collection which I’ve coauthored along […]

Where do you find your reads?

August 11, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

Occasionally in my town, our library has a used book sale to benefit the library so it can purchase more books. Volunteers cover all the tables of the library’s meeting room with every kind of book imaginable (except the ones fit to be covered with discreet brown paper wrappers, I was told). And most of […]

Sleigh Bells Ring…In July!

July 14, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

Has anyone been catching the Christmas in July movies on Hallmark Channel? I’m not sure where the saying “Christmas in July” came from originally, but there’s a delightful cool and crisp feeling that comes watching snowfall in July…Of course if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, the world might feel a tad chilly anyway. Today I’m […]

Read, love, repeat

June 14, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

Oh, summertime, here you are! I’m not sure why summertime makes me think of reading, but for some reason, I think of books I’ve already read once and would like to read again. I am never one to pass by the paperback used book stand at the library to see if there is some new […]

A Penny for A Date

May 16, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

We humans are creatures of habit and it’s easy to get into ruts. For example, a Thursday afternoon conversation on the way home from work with my husband might sound something like this: Me: “So, what do you think about grabbing something while we’re out tonight for dinner?” CJ: “Sounds good to me.” Me: “Great—because […]

A season of love

March 17, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin’s breast; In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest; In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove; In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. –from ”Locksley Hall”, Alfred Lord Tennyson   There is something […]

Love ‘n stuff

February 17, 2016 by Lynette Sowell

The month of love and romance is now more than halfway over. If you’re like me, the next time you go to the store you might check out the chocolates that are now 50 percent off (Hooray!). Because anytime is a good time for chocolate, heart-shaped or otherwise. We all appreciate a good romance, those […]
