Writer Interrupted
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 NIV Writer’s block? Overwhelmed? Feeling drained? We all can admit to these feelings on occasion. Our Heavenly Father is waiting to give us a helping hand. I will refresh the weary and satisfy the…
Next Time I’ll Have to Think Twice Before I Say…
family stuff is going pretty smoothly so I don’t have much to whine about!:) Ha! Today was a really rough day. Just when I thought I was enjoying my teen (with minor exceptions to normal moodiness,) he pushed me back over the edge! Unfortunately my moms says he’s a lot like me at his age.…
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.…
I 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…
In Like a Lamb!

Writing Book Reviews: Post Two
Last time, I walked you through my review of ADAM by Ted Dekker. I enjoyed Blessings by Kim Sawyer equally as much, yet the genre is completely different. 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…
Closer than Your Skin
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…
Writing 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…
