Embrace Me is the latest offering from Lisa Samson. I had hoped to read this book before the blog tour, but the arrival of Rebecca threw off my reading schedule just a bit. The book looks intriguing and has the mix of characters and edginess I’ve come to expect from a Lisa Samson book. Biting and gentle, hard-edged and hopeful…a …
Thoughts on Our New Arrival
Thanks to everyone who has left comments on Rebecca’s arrival. She has been an absolute delight. The only thing that will make her better is when she starts sleeping a little more consistently at night, but hey, she’s only one week old 🙂 Here are a few thoughts and cute stories. Jonathan was a bit upset to learn we’d had …

Sincerely, Mayla
“Lord,” I said, swallowing past the tightness in my throat, “I know the Bible says You’ll take care of me. I guess now’s Your chance to prove it. And I sure would appreciate it if You don’t wait too long, okay?” Will Mayla Strong’s life ever resemble normal? Just as she settles into a great place with God, everything else …
Writing Inspirational Romantic Suspense
For years I’ve wanted to write books. It was one of those dreams that refused to die, even when I would take it out periodically and ask God if I should let it die. Yet even as the dream stuck with me, I’d look at the marketplace and wonder if I’d ever be able to write the kind of books …

Jennifer Rothschild & Life
Eric tracked down the footage from Good Morning America for me. If you’ve never been exposed to Jennifer Rothschild and her ministry, this is a great way to catch a glimpse of her heart and style. It’s a great package! Our family has rediscovered the game CLUE. Did any of y’all play it growing up? We did in my family. …
Deadly Exposure Reviews
No, I did not review my own book. That just felt way too weird. So I asked ACFW President Robin Miller if she’d review Deadly Exposure. If you haven’t read any of her books yet, she writes great suspense for Love Inspired Suspense under her pen name Robin Caroll. She graciously agreed to review my book, so here it is… …
Exciting News! I have my copies of Sandhill Dreams!
Good morning, y’all. Yesterday I received my box of author copies of Sandhill Dreams. I am so excited to see this book and hold it. My daughter actually opened the box before I could get to it — it’s so fun to have the kids as excited or more so than I am. I walked around with a goofy grin …

We’ve got 20 new Christian novels this month – the perfect accompaniment to backyard lawn chairs and glasses of iced tea. I hope you’ll find one or more (more is better) from this list to suit your reading fancy. So many of these titles are excellent — and I’m not talking about just mine LOL 1. Anathema by Colleen Coble …
