Watch Over Me is a powerfully offering from Christa Parrish. She has quickly become an author whose books I will read — unusually since her books aren’t suspense, straight romance, or a historical time period I love. This one is classified as contemporary fiction, but with overtones of women’s fiction. Even so, Watch Over Me pulled me in from the …
Review: Beguiled

Writing: a life of trust…
The word of 2010 for me is trust. Trusting God more in all areas of my life. And that includes writing. Writing is a weird life…not very stable. We write from contract to contract.

Heartbreak
I’m on a quest to restore my heart. The miscarriages have cause a piece of my heart to break. And while I want to grieve fully and completely — and some would tell you a tad too much — I don’t want to live with heartbreak. I want to live where the sight of a pregnant woman doesn’t remind me …
