Today I want to mention a book that I read this week that is a delightful novella. Usually, I stay away from novellas because it’s hard to imagine a story that short that has depth and meaning. However, last year I read Finding Father Christmas by Robin Jones Gunn and thoroughly enjoyed it. This week I picked up Engaging Father …
James Scott Bell Comes to Visit
I’m delighted to have James Scott Bell join me today. Currently, he writes legal suspense for Zondervan and Center Street. He’s also a great guy who loves to share what he’s learned about writing through his craft books and teaching at writing conferences. He also doesn’t mind giving career advice to a novice like moi. So when I thought about …
Dark Pursuit Review
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that I am a fan of Brandilyn Collin’s books. I discovered her with the Hidden Faces series, wrote a character on the first year of the character blog for Kanner Lake, and just read Dark Pursuits last week. I LOVED it. The premise: what if suspense writer Darell …

Reasons I’m Thankful: Day Three
Enough said 🙂 God has been so good to me!
Out of Her Hands Review
Out of Her Hands is Megan DiMaria’s second release. I thoroughly enjoyed Searching for Spice, and this book is a wonderful follow-up. Linda Revere is back and this time her focus is her kids. Nick is up to something, but no one’s sure what. And Emma is within months of leaving for college. Life is changing, and Linda’s not comfortable …
Reasons I’m Thankful: Day Two
I’m grateful that back in 1990, God introduced a boy from Indiana to a girl from Nebraska in the beautiful town of Colorado Springs. I may have been 16, but I knew at the end of two weeks, that Eric was a man that I should get to know. He loved God in a way that I hadn’t seen in …
