Lindi here! We can’t ignore the fact that it’s Friday the 13th—but I’m not superstitious about it. To me it’s just another day. It is funny to hear others talk about it though. :) But we’re taking a trip down memory lane to talk about my novel Summer’s Song. My publisher has the E-version on sale […]
The Books that Inspire and #Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
My eight-year-old daughter loves to read, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The fact that she’ll read a wide variety of books–from science fiction to classics–is even better. She also enjoys it when my husband and I read to her. Currently, she and I are reading the second Harry Potter book together, while she and […]
Christmas Memories in July by Mary Manners
I love everything Christmas…the music, decorations, gifts, family time, and wonderful themed stories. Every year when I begin to write my next Christmas story (usually as July rolls around) I am taken back to the heartwarming holiday memories of my childhood. When the subject of Christmas gifts comes up, most people think of packages wrapped […]
Pentecost Monday by Merrillee Whren
There are two things I like to talk about when blogging. I like to share my travels, and I like interesting holidays. I’m combining those two topics in today’s post. Yesterday was Pentecost, and today is Pentecost Monday. Pentecost is celebrated fifty days after Easter. Pentecost comes from the Greek word pentếkosta, which means fiftieth […]
Busy Me
The last few years have been difficult in my writing world, but I’ve plodded along, knowing I am called to write. The calling hadn’t changed despite how hard it became to put words to paper (or keyboard, as the case may be). I have been able to write a few books, mostly novellas, but […]
A Trip in the Wayback Machine
My kids are both big fans of Mr. Peabody and Sherman. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a fun movie about an incredibly intelligent dog who adopts a little boy and, deciding to undertake his education, creates a time machine so that Sherman can experience history rather than just read about it. That time machine? […]
Writing the Seasons
I am an Army brat. That means, that every few years, my father would get new orders and he would change duty stations. My situation was a bit unusual, because his orders went to Fort Lewis, Washington, to Korea, then back to Fort Lewis. Consequently, we were there for 5 full years – which is […]
Plot Twist & #giveaway
Greetings from Ohio! The first 60+ days of 2019 have been hard to predict around here. Weather wise, we’ve had a foot of snow, then a polar vortex. There were days we left with a light coat. All I know is there have been a lot of days off from school for our daughter, and […]
Living Generously On and Off the Pages #FreeBook
Recently, I was challenged to live generously. “True generosity is an offering; given freely and out of pure love. No strings attached. No expectations. Time and love are the most valuable possessions you can share.” Suze Orman. In an attempt to live a life filled with generosity, I have made one of my books free […]
We’re All Connected (plus a giveaway)
Jolene Navarro here. Join me today as I drive a little south and walk along the San Antonio River. I’ll tell you a story about how we are all connected. Are you the kind of person that will talk to a complete stranger in the store or standing in line? A couple of weeks ago my […]
