Trusting Him in the Waiting…
I’m in that interesting spot writers sometimes find themselves in…in between contracts. I turned in my last contracted book January 15th, and spent a week revising one proposal as requested and then creating a new series proposal at another editor’s request. Now I’m…waiting. Ugh. I. Hate. That. Let me say that again. I. Hate. Waiting.…
Read MoreI Want to Apologize to My Readers…
This has been on my heart for a while, but I really haven’t had the time to put it into words. If you’ve noticed lately there’s been a lot of books and product reviews on my blog, partly because I LOVE the stuff I’m reviewing (and able to give away!) and I get to choose…

For me, March has come in like a lamb! The weather was near 70, and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful first day of March, but does that mean it will go out like a lion? GULP! I sure hope not!Snowstorms have been known to fall well into April, but I’m ready for…

Rather than suspense with strong supernatural overtones, Blessings is the last book in a trilogy set in Old World sect in Kansas. Hopefully, you’ll see that the…

Unwrapping the Mystery of Intimacy with God by Susan D. Hill What growing Christian doesn’t desire intimacy with God? “People yearn for a genuine connection with God to the point where they accept substitute gods they can see and touch.” Author Susan Hill’s authentic voice comes through loud and clear in her book about finding…
Read MoreWriting Book Reviews — Post One
Earlier this year, Gina asked me to write a post or two on writing book reviews. I’ve never taken a course on book reviews, and actually fell into writing them almost by accident. I LOVE spreading the word about books I enjoy. LOVE it. So after I started a blog two years ago, it made…
Read MoreReal Life Homeschooling
Real life has a way of interrupting… For the past two weeks, colds and flu viruses have kept my family and me under siege. I used to somewhat smirk when one of our kids became ill, thinking, Hey–we homeschool, no biggie. We might have to lay low, but we can still stick with the schedule!…
Read MoreWhat if Einstein Watched Television as a Baby?
Every new mom wants the best for their baby. I was no exception. Thirteen years ago when my first son was born, I planned on nursing for at least a year, making my own baby food, really connecting and nurturing my baby, and not plopping him in front of the television. Well, Chris wasn’t getting…
