Little By Little

I remember what is was like looking at published authors. They seemed to have everything together … and I seemed so lost on God’s plan for me. I’ve been looking back at old journals and it helps to remember how far God has brought me. Maybe this will also encourage those of you who are…

Promotion: to do or not to do

I’d started reading Kristen Billerbeck‘s Ashley Stockingdale books because (are you ready for this?) I liked the covers. A voracious reader, I’d never picked up Christian…

I’m Published!

   When I arrived home on Friday, after picking my daughter up from ballet, my husband waved away my efforts to start getting hungry kids fed, took my hand and led me to the front door. Like Vanna, only in a macho way, he gestured to some boxes that had arrived UPS. They were the author…
