A Word about Grace and Wishes
Grace, my almost seven year old, is a character, to say the least. All my children, except my mild, mannered Timmy were characters with big personalities. I remember specifically Joey singing and talking to random people in the grocery store, waving at them across the aisle. Then there was Chris, who came out a leader…
Review: Double Minds by Terri Blackstock
Not only is Terri Blackstock one of my favorite people (yes, I did get to meet her in person several times. Check out the podcast interview here!,) but she’s also one of my favorite authors. Terri mixes mystery and suspense with deep characterization. And Double Minds was a perfect example of that. Parker James is…
Jack of All Trades vs. Master of One
Is it better to dabble and excel in several things that you love or focus and commit to one talent, one discipline you’re not sure you want to spend the rest of your life doing, but you enjoy? That’s the dilemma Joey, my 12 year old, is facing. We just had an audition with a…
Who Doesn't Love a Geek?
A computer Geek, that is! IPs, URLs, PHP. Who can keep them all straight! A Geek can and I sure could use a Geek now as I delve into buying a theme for my new Writer…Interrupted blog. I’m nervous and clueless. But when I first started with blobspot a while back, I learned a little…
Bankruptcy of Our Nation
by Jerry Robinson With all the depressing media news, which I avoid at all costs, Bankruptcy of Our Nation by Jerry Robinson was the last book I wanted to read. In fact, books like this are the last thing people in hard times want to read. Instead, they crave feel good stories, an escape…fiction. Which…
The Power to Change Today by Gregory Dickow
Gregory Dickow touches on a timeless subject. We all want to live fulfilled, satisfying lives, but can we really make that happen? That’s the question I asked myself before I opened the book. The subtitle says The “Simple Secrets to the Satisfied Life.” I have to admit I haven’t read the entire book, and well,…

What’s the Point?
Confession time! It’s getting harder and harder to rejoice with friends and fellow writers when they receive the “call,” that first book contract, or for that matter their ninth book contract! Years ago I couldn’t rejoice at all. Jealously and longing for my own “news” was all I could see. Then God delivered me of…

City of the Dead by TL Higley
Just started this one and I’ve been reminded why I’ve been fascinated with ancient Egypt and why my current novels center around an archeologist and an Egyptian artifact. I only wish I would have thought to write this series first! It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to…
