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.

3 Tips for Successful Radio Interviews
I’ve had periods of high intensity promotion surrounding a book’s release where I’ve participated in a couple radio interviews a week. Radio is a format I really enjoy. Think about it, no one can see if I’ve got make-up on and I don’t have to go anywhere. They can’t see how messy and jumbled my desk is. Radio also keeps …

I’m a writer? Then why am I stuck?
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.

Our lives as a family are running a bit out of control. All right, it’s so out of control, I’m scared to write in everything on a daily basis. In fact, if you look at the photo of our calendar below, I’m not adding everything. I can’t stomach the sheer busy-ness when I do. It’s too much. Too much. And …
Fiction Friday: The Methuselah Project
This book’s storyline is a twist of historical and contemporary intersecting with a Captain America type character. Don’t think this is a copy though — instead it has a unique twist to the many experiments German scientists were running on people during the war.

That My Steps might be Steady
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.
