Review: Calm, Cool & Adjusted
This week the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is hosting Kristin Billerbeck’s latest book Calm, Cool & Adjusted, the third ad final installment in the Spa Girls series. And the great thing about this book is that you don’t have to have read the prior two books (though you’ll love them if you do) to fully appreciate this one. Kristin is …
Interview is Up
Today I’ve over at Tina Forkner’s blog: http://www.tinaannforkner.blogspot.com/. One of the strangest things about getting a contract is getting to do interviews.

Review: Scoop
As I mentioned yesterday, Scoop was a book that I had a little trouble pigeon-holing into a genre. By the time I finished it last night, I decided it was a truly fun read that’s best classified as a Rene Gutteridge original. Add a cup of comedy, a pinch of mystery, a dash of romance, and wha la (or however …
Scoop

Dreamer: Plotting in Two Hours
Last night the kids and I watched part of Dreamer again. If you haven’t seen this film with Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning, I encourage you to rent it. When I first saw it this spring, I was struck by the way the film is a classic example of story arcs and black moments. Just when things begin to look …
Only in Florida
A postscript to the election in Broward County — yes, that Broward County. Seems someone mailed in an absentee ballot with a collection of stamps on it. One of those happened to be an inverted Jenny. Problem was that by the time people figured out it might be valuable (in the range of $200,000 uncancelled, $20,000-100,000 cancelled), the ballot envelope …
A Thought for Sunday
“All of God’s revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience. You will never open them through philosophy or thinking. But once you obey, a flash of light comes immediately . . . If you obey God in the first thing He shows you, then He instantly opens up the next truth to you. You could …
