Don’t forget to vote!
In just a few days we’ll all get the opportunity to go vote. The political mail has streamed into our house. To the extent that Jonathan sees a piece and tells me McCain wants me to vote for him – even when it’s from Barack Obama. In 2000 Eric went to Florida twice after the election to participate in the …
Last Chance on Contests for Gift Certificates
Fall is the perfect time to curl up with a new book. And I just got my copies of my latest book, Captive Dreams. In honor of that and because I love comments and subscribers, in October I am running a contest. On November 1 I will pull one lucky name from the subscribers to the Law Books & Life. …
Sweet Tea — Nectar of the gods
I have decided that Sweet Tea has overtaken Dr Pepper as the nectar of the gods. It is the fuel that keeps me writing long into the nights. And probably is why I need to get back on the treadmill LOL. Call it my Georgia and Virginia roots coming out, but I was very happy when McDonald’s started carrying sweet …
Two Books I read last week and LOVED
Last week I read two wonderful Bethany House releases by debut authors. Both books are written in a lovely lyrical style, and wouldn’t necessarily be books I normally gravitate towards. Nobody is killed, and they aren’t romances – though there are romantic elements in each. Instead, each is the tale of a young woman finding healing from past scars. Home …
CIG to Business Law
Just in case you’ve been waiting with bated breath, LOL, I am pleased to announce that you can preorder the Complete Idiots Guide to Business Law on Amazon. By checking randomly last week, I learned that it releases on May 9, 2009. Crazy! I saw that the same day I got the Author Revision chapters — I wasn’t supposed to …
Less Than Dead Review
I am a huge fan of Tim Downs. Eric and I were first introduced to him when he and his lovely bride joy emceed the Family Life Today Weekend to Remembers that we attended. Loved his slightly sarcastic midwestern style.And that’s why we picked up his first novel. From page one, we’ve been hooked. I have honestly loved each book …
Defining True Love
I wish I knew where these originated, but I don’t. But here are some delightful definitions of love taken from the mouth of babes. Thanks to Tricia for forwarding these! ‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis …
Google Maps — An Amazing Tool
I’ve heard many writers rave about Google Maps, but until A Promise Kept, the book I just finished, I didn’t really need it. I knew my settings well from site visits or having lived in the communities. Cincinnati — yeah, don’t know it well at all. So I turned to Google maps. I LOVE the satellite feature. It allowed me …
Apple Picking
I forgot to take my camera, but earlier this week the kids and I went apple picking. We drove almost an hour for twenty minutes of picking. We managed to fill two laundry baskets with apples while Rebecca slept. My hope is that we’ll actually turn them into applesauce. This is the third type of fruit we’ve picked this year. …
