This made me smile. I loved the book, but this is the first time I’ve got to meet the star of a book I enjoyed. Go get this book, folks! What do you like in book trailers? What makes you want to go buy a book? I’m still trying to decide whether to make them for my books…but this one …
I’m back from Orlando
Arrived home at midnight yesterday — hence no post, but here’s a glimpse of what Rebecca and I’ve been up to. Writing can be very solitary work. Think about all the hours that a writer spends in front of a computer crafting the words and story that a reader can inhale in a few hours. I belong to American Christian …
Orlando Living
Since THursday I’ve been in Orlando with Rebecca attending a writer’s retreat. Now, I’d love to have photos to post, but what did I forget? Yep, my camera! Ever have times in your life where you look around and think: Wow, God, I’m not sure why I’m here, but thanks so much for the opportunity! That’s been the last 3 …

Wiser than Serpents Review & Author Contest
Susan May Warren’s latest thriller Wiser than Serpents, is another page-turning, nail-biting, can’t-life-stop-until-I’m-done? kind of book. The third in the Mission:Russia series, this book from Steeple Hill stands completely on its own. Somehow I have book two but managed not to read it, yet didn’t feel like I missed anything that was important to this book. Yanna Andrevka infiltrates a …
Another Dream Comes True
As a teenager — when most people want to meet movie stars — I wanted to hang out with authors. I get to do that for beyond anything I could have imagined. I literally have to pinch myself some days when I think about the people I admire that I have come to know and call friends. Well, today, I …
Interview with Christy Barritt
Christy Barritt is a friend who has just seen her second book release. Suspicious Minds was a great read, as is this interview. So turn on some Elvis and kick back… This is your second book…was it hard coming back to the same main character? Why or why not? I actually loved coming back to the character of crime-scene cleaner …
Act Two: A Review
Act Two: a Novel in Perfect Pitch is a delightful offering from Kimberly Stuart. This is the first of her books that I’ve read, though I’ve heard great things about her books. Particularly from a friend of mine who happens to be her agent. Any thoughts he was merely biased evaporated as I read this book. New Yorker Sadie Maddox …
I walked into the library the other day
I love libraries. Have since the day I tried to read the entire biography section of the Seward, Nebraska library. I guess my love of history was fueled in those stacks picking through biographies of presidents, strong women — especially Queen Victoria, Abigail Adams, Clara Barton, Florence Nightengale, etc. The Seward library fueled my ability to read more than a …
Writing without the Key of V
Do you know how hard it is to write without one key on your computer? Unfortunately, I do. For the second time. If I were really clever, I’d take a picture to show you. But let me just say, there’s a mawing hole in my keyboard where the v key is supposed to be. And it is HARD to type …
