I just have to share! Here’s our new puppy (on the left). She’ll never replace Mason (on the right), the world’s most amazing and patient dog. But after playing with this puppy for an hour and a half this afternoon, we all agreed she had to come home. I’d forgotten all the little training things we had to do with …
Review: Reluctant Runaway
When I read the backcover copy for this book, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean it was going to focus on Indian art from New Mexico. Quite a departure from the first book. However, from the first page I was sucked in to the mysteries that seemed to stack on top of each other. And best of …
Fascinating Review
In honor of book review week, I wanted to let you know about a fresh review of Tricia Goyer’s latest book A Valley of Betrayal. It is over at the Highway Scribery, and from a non-believer who knows the Spanish Civil War. It is wonderful, just like the book. Don’t forget to post comments to be entered in the contest …
Review: Freedom of the Soul
Don’t forget to comment to be entered in the contest! Free books are always a good thing! When I received Freedom of the Soul, I really didn’t know what to expect. The author is Tracey Bateman, so I expected a good read, but this book is part of a series that travels between different times. Those are hard to do …
Review: Ransomed Dreams

When tragedy strikes and Gracie Lang lost everything, her faith crumbled, and nothing but the drive for justice propelled her forward. But after two years of dead-end searching, the truth Gracie seeks is the very thing her stalker will stop at nothing to hide.“Forgiveness Unlocks the Future. …
Review: Petticoat Ranch
The West has never been so much fun! Outlaws and in-laws face off on the Texas frontier. Isn’t the cover fun! I can’t say I’ve been a fan of westerns in the past, but if Mary Connealy writes them, my opinion has changed. Mary is from Nebraska, so I’ve felt a connection to her even before we met at ACFW …
Researching Days: Day Two
Have you ever tried to find the transcript for a radio broadcast that happened sixty years ago? I had to as I wrote Canteen Dreams. The pivot point in the story is Pearl Harbor. It launches everything else that happens in the story, so I wanted to figure out what the folks around North Platte would have heard on December …

Presidential Debates, Anyone?
Ready or not, it’s started. The Presidential campaign is heating up. What? The election’s not for 18 months? No matter. With ten candidates in the Republican field so far, the campaigning and posturing is well under way. The first debate was held yesterday at the Reagan Presidential Library. Frankly, I think that’s a thing of beautiful symbolism. Who’s going to …
Review: Lightning & Lace
Clouds of secrets loom over a Texas town…too many people are hiding things in this town. Afraid of something or someone.Lightning and Lace is the third installment in DiAnn Mills’ Texas Legacy series. This is the only one in the series I have read so far, and she did a great job of making it stand on its own. Bonnie …
