I was supposed to go meet with the producer who optioned my book for film last weekend, but I had a plot twist of my own. If you haven’t heard yet, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Needless to say, this came as a bit of a shock, and you can read about it here […]
When the Book Won’t Write #giveaway
Confession: I’ve been pedaling as fast as I can on a stationary bike for a long time now. Barely keeping my head above water with a multitude of life tasks, a family health scare, and raising a teenage boy. Last spring, our son went to Junior prom with his lovely girlfriend, which means this year, […]
Speaking God Into Life
by: Staci Stallings God is the great I Am. It isn’t about “He was” or He “will be.” HE IS. Right here. Right now. Present. This minute. The next minute. And the next. There was never a time He didn’t exist, and there will never be a time He doesn’t exist. He’s kind of like […]
Being a Magi
by: Staci Stallings A long time ago I read a book that said, “There is a reason you notice the things you notice. They come into your sight to tell you something.” (paraphrase) I took that to heart and began actively noticing. That is, I notice when I notice something. Rather than going through life […]

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. –John 15: 1-2 Every so often a misinterpretation corrected sends shock waves through my […]
Putting People Together
There are very few things in this life more fulfilling than helping someone else reconnect with God. There are also very few things that can be as frustrating. Now picture this: You and I are standing in a dark room that has an unplugged lamp. YOU have the cord. All I can do is give […]
Is it Inspirational or is it Romance?
My first book will be coming out in February (yes, I’m thrilled!), and I’m in the midst of cover design, edits, setting up marketing (okay, trying to understand marketing), etc. As writers, we hear over and over – know your audience, know your genre, know your story. So while Shattered Image definitely falls in the […]
Does Mine Look Like Yours?
As I was growing up, even into adulthood, I compared myself, my life, my accomplishments to those of others around me. Did I play my solo better? Were my pants too short? (all you tall people out there will identify with that!) How come I wasn’t as smart, pretty, skinny, talented, short, etc. etc. as […]
