Okay, first off…I love this cover! Judge Laurel Kincaide is running for chief judge of Alabama. If elected she’ll make history as the first woman to fill that role. To get there she has to survive the primary. Cole McGaughan is a religion reporter sent south to cover the campaign. The only problem, the secret in her past is tied …
Review: Fearless

But in the darkness there is hope – an anonymous but powerful hero the public calls “Guardian” emerges from the wreckage. He is one of the chosen few who walk the earth with extraordinary powers, determined to uncover the secret behind the world-shattering disasters. But signs …
Moving Forward
My parents visited last week. I always love having them come. We simply enjoy each other. And I know Dad will always have a new song for me to listen to. He goes through favorite songs like some people go through chocolate. A few weeks ago his favorite song was Lifesong by Casting Crowns. (I tell you, he is a …
Wannarexia?
For women it’s a tense subject. For teenage girls it can be even worse. Who hasn’t wanted to be thinner or had a hard time being satisfied with the body they have? I think when we’re honest, we can all admit we’ve had moments, days, or months where we’ve been there. On August 4, I found an interesting, eye-opening, and …
Revision Letters
My friend Colleen Coble tells anyone who will listen that she LOVES revision letters. I used to think she was crazy. Then I got my first revision letter. I’ve been through a couple sets of revision letters with Canteen Dreams (October 2007 – Heartsong Presents) and the first with Deadly Exposure (June 2008 – Love Inspired Suspense). And I have …

Shopping On-Line
So Saturday I was shopping online — otherwise known as procrastinating when I should have been revising. I’m looking for one or two specific items, but found myself on piperlime.com. I guess it’s a shoe store loosely affiliated with Gap. Let me tell you, the sale prices were great. I almost pulled the trigger and bought a couple pairs of …
Help Me Decide
You guys were such a great help last time. I thought I’d let you vote again. 🙂 I’m working with a designer on a webpage. I’ve put it off as long as I can, but figure with a book releasing in three months, it’s time to build one. So I’ve been looking at websites and trying to figure out what …
Review: Murder by Mushroom
Ever been to a church potluck? If you have, you know they are a delight. I love sampling all kinds of fun dishes and treats. And all those desserts. Yum! After reading Murder by Mushroom, you might look at those potlucks a little differently. Jackie Hoffner comes to her church’s latest potluck with a casserole, determined to avoid the harassment …
Swimming the Summer Away
I love our community. We’ve got great neighbors, many who have become friends and keep any thoughts of moving at bay. But the best feature of our neighborhood during the summer is the community pool. We spend a lot of time there when the weather cooperates. And the kids and I have the tans to show it — don’t worry, …
