I think because classes started this week at Purdue, I’ve been in a race to read some good books. The above are just a few of them that I’ve inhaled and recommended. Here’s why I loved them: @cara_putman shares 5 books she loved in August as well as a #giveaway. #FictionFriday Click To Tweet The Price of Valor is Susan May …
In our hourse we’re preparing for the kids to return to school and for me to return to face-to-face classes at Purdue. We all came home in mid-March, and I’d say we’re largely ready to see what the fall has in store. This year has been the year of Flexible Chaos, and I’m certain it’s not over yet! How are …
Every book I write is special for one reason or another. I wouldn’t invest the time in creating if I didn’t love the characters or the hook. A Promise Kept is special for several reasons: @Cara_putman A Promise Kept, the story inspired by London’s @I-W-M is #free this weekend on #Kindle. https://amzn.to/319T1KA Click To Tweet While written as a Heartsong Presents originally, …
Welcome back to Fiction Friday (a day early LOL)! I’ve been doing a lot of reading and listening to books this year…I’ve recorded more than 80 books completed over at Goodreads (you can see what I’ve read so far this year here). If you haven’t friended me on Goodreads, pop on over. It’s a great way to learn about my …
This is an opportunity to press in. Life often goes very fast for our family. We’ve had years of taking the kids somewhere every night of the week. That hasn’t been our life since about March 15th. Instead we’ve had a chance to slow down. Spend time together. And press into our walk with God through the gift of time to read, journal, and process. I’ve been reading Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen and None Like Him by Jen Wilkin. Get Out of Your Head has been the kick I needed to push out of my thoughts. If your mind is anything like mine has been lately, it is so easy to spiral in our thoughts and this book has been what I needed to stop some of the craziness between my ears. None Like Him has helped me remember all the ways God is bigger and oh so different from me. It’s led me to focus on who He is and helped me lift my eyes from me. The combination of the two is a powerful one-two punch.
For years, I’ve written hard. In the chaos of life, while working other jobs, traveling, and so much more. I love all of my books, and writing them has pushed me in unique ways. Sometimes the pressure has removed the joy from writing. Have you ever had that happen? Something you love becomes a job rather than a joy? It’s …
I love WWII history. That’s why nine of my books are set during that time period. This weekend A Promise Forged is free on Kindle. And if you have Kindle Unlimited, I have placed all three Buckeye Promises on there for your reading pleasure. Here’s more about each. A Promise Forged: Kat Miller has dreamed of playing baseball her entire …
We are nearing the end of stringent sheltering in place in Indiana…it’s been a slow move…very intentional and methodical. While I still have no idea what the new normal will be, I thought I’d share a few of the ways we’ve been spending the time since the middle of March. Because we’ve spent three summers in Europe as a family …
I love a good suspense series. Especially when the action is tense and the characters multi-dimensional. The Cross series gives us exactly that. The first book opens with a punch of activity then eases to a breath before building again in intensity. John Cross is also wrestling with how to marry his past with his faith. He doesn’t do it …
This summer, I’ve added my WWII series, Buckeye Promises to Kindle Unlimited. I’ve been told lots of readers find their books there, so I wanted to give you the gift of books. This three book series will be on Kindle Unlimited through July 31. Be sure to pop by and read them if you haven’t already. @Cara_Putman Buckeye Promises #wwii …
