ICRS!?! Let the Chaos Begin!
It’s as official as it can get. I’m going to ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) as media! That means I get to interview authors for my blog.

Embrace Me by Lisa Samson
I’ve only read a few Lisa Samson books (Club Sandwich, Hollywood Nobody) but I’ve got a stack of others (Straight Up, The Living End and now Embrace Me) waiting for me to crack the spine. It’s not because of a lack of enthusiasm that I haven’t read more Lisa Samson books, it’s because of a…

Ragu Goes Natural
Seems like everyone is getting on the “All Natural” bandwagon and I’m glad. Years ago when I couldn’t figure out why sometimes my children raged out of control for no apparent reason, I decided to try the Feingold diet of eliminating all preservatives and artificial flavors and colors. I did see a change in my…
