It’s Fiction Friday and I’ve been laboring under deadlines. A very good thing when you’re an author. But it means I haven’t read quite as much as I usually do. So I thought we’d have some fun today. Above is a photo of most of the book in my TBR pile. Since I will soon be past deadline on both books I’m working on, which book would you read first? Why?
Lost Chapters of Beyond Justice
It has been so fun to read reader’s reactions to the characters and story in Beyond Justice. It’s also been wild to watch my kids enjoy the audio version…It’s a little scary to wait for your sixteen-year-old’s reaction to the words you slaved over. It’s also a little unnerving to begin to see what friends and readers think of the book. Some …
Summer Bookclub?
So I have a question. Anyone interested in doing a book study with me this summer? Either Wild & Free or Galatians? If you are leave a comment below and I’ll start organizing the details. And if you like audio books like I do, you can buy the ebook for $1.99 (as of 5/4), and add the WhisperSync for about $4.
SOKY and Audiobook Giveaway
So this weekend I had the pleasure of being in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for SOKY, a book festival. It was a great weekend on so many levels. My oldest traveled with me since she needed to be in Bloomington, Indiana, the day after the book festival. What did she want to do on the car ride? Listen to Beyond Justice …
Fiction Friday: When Tides Turn & Giveaway
Today it’s my pleasure to bring you the final installment in my friend Sarah Sundin’s Waves of Freedom series. When Tides Turn is a story I’ve been waiting to read, in part because I wasn’t sure how Tess would work as a heroine. Oh my gosh! She was perfection. I’d spent two books seeing her grow externally, but this book …
What’s it like to write collaboratively
Tricia Goyer and I are co-authors in a new Guidepost cozy mystery series. We’re both head down writing our first book in the series, and it’s a fun time of exploration. When you write on a Guidepost series, it’s a little different from writing a book for yourself. I thought today I’d take you behind the scenes and show you …
Fiction Friday: Two books & other bookish news
It’s spring, and that means many new books are coming out right now. I wanted to tell you about a couple today. One comes out at the beginning of May and the other released this week. There truly is something for every reader with these.
The Story Behind: Sandhill Dreams
With my World War II novels, my starting point is usually a historic fact. To find it for books two and three, I started asking people what they knew about Nebraska and WWII. I don’t remember exactly how, but I stumbled on the idea that something must have happened at Fort Robinson at the time.
Welcome to College Review
Today Abigail takes the ACT; next fall she’ll apply to college. This feels so wild and so right. How do I have a child old enough to be doing college visits? Yet I feel like we’ve coached her well and she’s ready for the challenges. Still as a homeschooling mom, I like every tool I can get to help make …
