This is the first in a series I’ll run over the next few Mondays on legal research. I often get questions on how to do legal research and hope this will give writers an idea of where to start. Usually, the best advice is to contact an attorney directly…but this should help you start. The law is a complicated area. …
Share My Joy
We break away from the regularly scheduled blog posts to make this announcement… Author and attorney Cara Putman received word on Wednesday that Heartsong Presents intends to contract her three book historical series set in Ohio. The series will tell the stories of three siblings during the war. Watch for an evacuated girl from England, a top-secret military project, and …
Author Photos
Last week we talked about author photos over at ACFW. What do people think when they see them? What do they say? Do you ever see the author as the heroine or hero after seeing their photo, etc.? Then as I cleaned my desk — a task that desperately needed doing — I ran across a recent letter from a …
ADAM Review
I signed up – reluctantly – to read Ted Dekker. You see, I enjoyed some of his earlier books, then hit a point where they just weren’t my thing. Plenty of other people love them, but I had more than enough other books to invest my time in. Then ADAM arrived. Eight hours later, I had consumed the book after …
So What are You Reading Now?
Today I’ve been tagged by my friend and ACFW Indiana chapter president Crystal Miller to participate in a game of blog tag. I’m asking you to participate in a reading exercise. Whatever is by your computer (or that you are reading right now) is what I am interested in. I am going to tag a few people who also write …
BLAST OUT Blog Tour for Trish Berg’s Latest Release…The Review
As most of y’all know, I’m in the middle of a pregnancy that’s not my first. As a result, I’ve flipped through more than my share of “what to expect while pregnant” websites and books and even tip-toed into the “what you’re baby should do” sections. This isn’t my first child, so you’d think I’d be more than prepared for …

The Ups and Downs of Life
What a weekend! I got to spend the weekend in Naples, Florida with Eric. He’s on a whirlwind fundraising/event tour for his job, and for once it worked out well for me to join him. We had a wonderful time talking with donors and walking the beaches near Naples. But Friday morning before I headed to Indy, I got two …
Bayou Corruption: run out and buy it today
Robin Caroll’s second book Bayou Corruption is in stores now. I read this one on the plane to Florida. Good thing, too, since I ended up loaning it to a friend who had forgotten to pack any books. Can you imagine!?!?! From the first page I was pulled into this story. Investigative reporter Jackson Devereaux has driven to Lagniape, Louisiana, …
Love for a Lifetime
Love Matters. Eric and I just celebrated twelve years of marriage this weekend. Wow! It seems hard to believe, and at the same time many of those years were hard fought for. But now that we’re 12 years in, each one of those times we fought to make it work is well worth it. Especially now that we have children. …
