Bike Riding and a Prayer Request
My soul is heavy and all my normal morning routines have been halted for prayer. It’s not a major life burden, but when your child hurts you hurt. My husband and son have been bonding over morning bike rides down the trail. It’s something my son has needed for a long time. He’s the one…
Read MoreWIP Update
I realized I haven’t updated the progress of my WIPs lately. Digging Up Death, which I fondly refer to as DUDly, is undergoing rewrites after I dug it up after I buried it. It made the rounds, and though I hadn’t heard a yeah or nay, from two editors, my wise agent and I decided…
Read MoreBlogger vs. WordPress and John the Baptist
It’s been a year or two since I switched my blog from blogger to WordPress. The main reason I did it was so I could schedule my posts and not be a slave to my blog. I LOVED the schedule feature, but noticed I lost a lot of followers. Still, it made my life easier…

I’ve been super busy planning the WIN-ACFW local conference. It ended yesterday and today I’m beat!! Last year we had one speaker, one room, and about 40 people. This year, I wanted to go bigger. Two speakers. Rene Gutteridge and Brandt Dodson…awesome, awesome, awesome. Plus we had an agent, Jeff Dunn, a publicist, Jeane Wynn,…
Read MoreTortoise or Hare?
I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter how fast I run this publishing race, I’m not going to reach the finish line until God wants me to. So as I finish up edits on my current WIP, I’m looking toward the future and plan on stopping to smell the roses! That means slowing…
