CaraFiction Friday Leave a Comment

This week I’ve read a book that is a sheer delight. The Splendor of Ordinary Days is like a stroll through small town life through the eyes of the local doctor Luke Bradford. There’s something special about this place where ordinary activities fill the days… and the young doctor recognizes it with an eye that gives a literary spin to it …

Today I’m posting over at Inspired by Life & Fiction. I’d love to have you join me! Here’s a little teaser…. I love writing, but I don’t like getting started. It is complete drudgery to create a multi-layered proposal. When I finally reach the right depth, it sits on my computer desktop for weeks or months while publishing houses consider …

Firefly Summer Kathleen Y’Barbo Just about every author I know has one story that is a story of their heart. Some have sold them, others have that story resting in a drawer.

My goal in the way I lead life is for my steps to always be pointed toward Jesus. It doesn’t mean I’m perfect. It doesn’t mean things I do or say aren’t taken out of context and misinterpreted. But I’m learning I’m not responsible for another person’s behavior. I’m responsible for my heart, my motives, my actions. That’s what I can control.

With this week’s Fiction Friday, I’d love to share three historical novels with you. They are as different as they can be. One is set in Regency England, another in 1860s Colorado, with the final set in 1930s Hollywood. Each has an interplay of mystery with some level of romance. A Noble Masquerade and Fire & Ice are both romances first …
