Stars in the Night releases July 1st. To say I’m excited is an understatement. To say I’m nervous is another understatement. To say I am so glad that God is in charge of my career is a relief. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. I know that one reason God has me on this road …
Two More Books I’ve Read Lately

Want to Start a Book Club?
I saw this post last week over at SheReads. With permission I’m reposting it here because I thought it was filled with fabulous advice on how to start a bookclub. I love reading, but something special happens when I’m able to discuss a book I enjoyed or that challenged me with others. SheReads is a great site that focuses on …
Some Summer Read Recommendations…
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted reviews, so I wanted to let you know about a couple books I’ve been reading that I really enjoyed. Very different genres, but you expect nothing less from me right? 🙂 The Mailbox, Marybeth Whalen’s debut novel, reminded me of a Nicholas Sparks novel from the opening scene. Teenage love is found and then …
Strength in a Generation
With the upcoming release of Stars in the Night and imagining next series, I’m reminded of the strength of the World War II generation. That was an amazing chapter in our nation’s history. A time when everyone came together to work toward a common goal, regardless of where we lived. The stories of scrap metal drives, people saving their cooking …
What’s Your Legacy?
Last week, John Wooden, legendary basketball player and coach died. It’s hard to pick up a paper in Indiana or turn on the radio without hearing someone talk about him. From all accounts, he lived his 99 years well…leaving a strong legacy…not only as a coach who pulled the best from others…but a man of faith. Then I heard on …
Stars in the Night
In three short weeks, Stars in the Night releases. Yipes! I am so excited…and honestly, nervous. It’s a big step forward for me. And I love the characters. And the plot. And oh, the time period. Hollywood in 1942. The US is only months into officially being engaged in World War II. Glamour. Glitz. Heroism. And a murder or two. …
I can’t Wait! ACFW Conference is Coming!!!!
We are 105 days away from the ACFW conference. Don’t believe me? Just check the countdown running on the side of my blog. 105 days. Wow! Why do I get so excited about conference? At the conference I’ve met each of the editors I’ve worked with. At the conference I’ve gotten to know them, and hopefully they’ve gotten to know …
Thank you!
Today is Memorial Day. Thank you to all the men and women who have served and currently serve in our military. We really should say thank you all the the time, not just the few times a year that the calendar reminds us to say thank you. I think of the sacrifices soldiers like my Dad made. He enlisted in …
Love this: Swagger Wagon
I don’t have a minivan…yet. I love my Chrysler Pacifica. But this just about sells me. Thanks to the delightful Jenny B. Jones for making me aware of the “Swagger Wagon.” So sit back, smile, and celebrate your roles as mother and father to a posse. 🙂
