Here in the United States we are getting ready for our Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is the big day. It is a time for family get togethers and good food. It is a time to reflect on God’s blessings, but it is good to remember God’s blessings every day. As the verse above reminds us, we should […]

Getting It All Done
It’s late on a Friday night, and I am reminded that I must have my blog post ready by Sunday afternoon. I will be very busy this weekend, so it is butt in chair and fingers on the keyboard in order to get that done. This week has been filled with tennis, Orange Theory Fitness, […]
How Bad Can She Be?
Do you like heroines who have a checkered past? Do you like a heroine who has a checkered present? How much are you willing to overlook in the heroine’s journey to redemption? As you can see from the blurb above, Annie Payton has a past she is trying to live down. So her bad-girl […]
New Growth: You’re Still Alive
Last month my blog post mentioned some of the things we did on our most recent trip to Spokane, Washington, where I lived when I was in high school. Before we went to Spokane we drove through North Cascades National Park, since I’m trying to visit as many national parks as possible. During one of […]
Memories
When you read this post, my husband and I will be traveling, and I probably won’t be able to respond to comments until we stop somewhere for the night.

World Back Up Day and Giveaway
Today is World Backup Day. Remember to backup all of your devices on a regular basis. You don’t want to lose that precious data. What is one of the worst things that happens to a writer? I would say the loss of all your data. Books, files, covers, research, hours and hours of work. Gone! […]
On A Beach Somewhere
When you read this, I will have just returned from a beach vacation. Even as I write this I’m anticipating digging my toes into the sand while I let the waves rush over my feet. I can see myself reading a book, if my granddaughters will let me, but I might be building a sandcastle […]
