Today and later this week, I’m the guest blogger over at Keep Me In Suspense. So pop over to learn more about how to write a courtroom scene that will ring true. I’m also the guest blogger at Generation Next Parenting today. You never know where I’ll turn up next. 🙂

I am doing something new this summer…writing a book on deadline. This is a new experience for me, and one that I pray I get right. You see as a new author, I have a reputation to earn and protect. And I’m learning all the time. In an ideal world, I’ll write a chapter a night in June. Then that …

It was. . . Tiffany by Trish Perry Okay, just hear me out here. Contrary to how things appear, I am not perfect. I make mistakes, just like an average person does. I said I wanted to develop a little culture, and I meant it. I want to be able to discuss . . . stuff. That’s why I came …

Now that I’ve been reading for awhile, I decided it was time to check my progress: My to be read pile has shrunk considerably! * Lightning and Lace by DiAnn Mills (Barbour) Finished! * Grave Risk by Hannah Alexander (Steeple Hill) Finished! * Get Out …

Really. I used to live off the news and politics. Moving to DC after college was a dream come true. And I loved it. I was surrounded by people who care about politics and issues and want to make the world a better place…even if we sometimes disagreed on how that should happen. I even helped train and place journalists …

I saw this and thought I’d share.

The decision, significant to …

Roseanna White of Christian Review of Books is launching a fun game for those who love the blogosphere and games. If you spent hours playing Clue as a kid, you will love this game! You know, the game where Professor Plum did it in the library with the rope? 🙂 You can get a quick summary by going to Novel …
