One of the things I’ve struggled with during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis is the feeling of going stir crazy, of feeling all alone. I know you may be wondering how that could be, since I already worked at home even before all this craziness began. You know when you were a kid and your parents […]
Top 10 Cheesy Pick-Up Lines + #Giveaway
Confession time: I love cheesy pick-up lines. Why, you ask? I think it’s because I appreciate a good sense of humor. It’s a good thing I married a man with one, although I didn’t know how funny he’d become with time. (The dad jokes are strong with this one. Ha!) I also believe life is […]
From Pink Eye to Movie Deal: How God Led Me into Screenwriting (a Guest Post by Lesley Ann McDaniel)
I have always been a movie nerd. From the time I was old enough to stay up past my bedtime to watch Nostalgia Theatre on my twelve-inch black and white TV, I harbored a deep-down desire to work in the movie business. Strangely enough, I never really pursued it, but it has definitely pursued me. […]

The Big Six-O (#giveaways)
Growing up, I always thought people of sixty were old … really old. Heck, I thought people of forty were old. Then I turned forty, and immigrated to Ireland for 18 months. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Maybe it was my midlife crisis? Anyway, I didn’t feel old at forty. I […]

You know that feeling you get when you finish a book you absolutely love, and you want to hold onto the characters and the story a little bit longer? And as much as you love to read, you just can’t bring yourself to step into another story world quite yet. All you want to do […]
A Taste of Romance + #Giveaway
About half-way through my second book (Courage to Change), one of the side characters started to whisper quietly in the back of my mind. He was a good guy, he said. He’d like to fall in love. And okay, sure, maybe he was in school right now, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t ready to find […]
The Price of Dreams + #Giveaway
Y’all, the last book of the Faith & Fortune series is finally here. It’s a bittersweet time, happy that’s available for you to read and sad that it’s the last book. Seriously, what was I thinking? I should have made the series longer. (Lesson learned.) The Price of Dreams is the third book and features ballerina, […]
Between Books #Giveaway
Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
