Self-Discipline: a 4 letter word?
Self-Discipline. What a … delightful… word. And one I’m living right now. The mini-marathon is 3 weeks away, and the training has reached the point that it’s not fun. At all. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing enjoyable about 8+ mile runs. Even 5 mile runs done 2-3 times a week aren’t fun. But if I’m going to survive the mini, …
Interview with Sara Mills
This interview ran on Monday — and I just learned that Sara’s husband died of a heart attack on Tuesday. He was young — 40 — and I am so grieved for Sara and her children. If you’ve considered buying one of these books, please follow the links at the end of this post to buy one or both books. …

I Finished!
I just finished A Promise Born! I even got to write a couple scenes in one of my favorite cities: Washington, D.C. As the photo shows, my desk shows the wear and tear. I even straightened the surface a week ago…not that you can tell. Can you believe a book got written here? Yikes! First order of business after editing …
CBE Thoughts
I’ve been thinking about CBE since crossing the threshold on Friday afternoon — actually since I got tasked last September with organizing the ACFW effort there. I think the CBE was a great idea. However, as with anything that is offered for the first time, there were some challenges. I was going to write a post on it, but instead …
Miss Fortune & Miss Match: Delightful Books!
Miss Fortune and Miss Match by Sara Mills are delightful P.I books with a twist. Allie Fortune refuses to be called Miss Fortune; instead she is known around NYC in 1947 as the PI Princess. Likely the only female private investigator in the city she has a penchant for finding cases that involve intrigue and suspense. This series is frankly …
Balance? Who me??!?!
Here’s a link to an interview I did with Marybeth Whalen. If you’ve wondered how I balance homeschooling and writing, this interview will answer many of those questions. I got back from CBE yesterday. I’ll post some thoughts on that later. And look for some reviews and great giveaways. One of the things I did at CBE is collect a …
