How to Raise a Modern-Day Joseph
Joseph has always been my favorite character in the Bible. I’m not sure why. Maybe I identify with the teasing and jealousy his brothers felt about him, about not fitting in with the rest of them, or being just a bit arrogant at times. Or maybe I admire the endurance and faith he had through…

I LOVED City of the Dead!!!
But I hated the fact that I did not think of writing this book myself! I so love ancient history, especially Egypt and my current WIP focuses on an archaeologist and an Egyptian artifact. City of the Dead by T.L. Higley transported me back in time to the building of the Great Pyramid. I loved…

Terri mixes mystery and suspense with deep characterization. And Double Minds was a perfect example of that. Parker James is…
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…
