Life is a little crazy now that I’m back to teaching a class at Purdue. I love teaching! It just takes a lot of prep time. So since we are in an election campaign, I thought you might to know that the Supreme Court will be asked to accept cert on a case revolving around Indiana’s Voter Id law. The …

Jessie
I just have to share! Here’s our new puppy (on the left). She’ll never replace Mason (on the right), the world’s most amazing and patient dog. But after playing with this puppy for an hour and a half this afternoon, we all agreed she had to come home. I’d forgotten all the little training things we had to do with …
Fascinating Review
In honor of book review week, I wanted to let you know about a fresh review of Tricia Goyer’s latest book A Valley of Betrayal. It is over at the Highway Scribery, and from a non-believer who knows the Spanish Civil War. It is wonderful, just like the book. Don’t forget to post comments to be entered in the contest …

Presidential Debates, Anyone?
Ready or not, it’s started. The Presidential campaign is heating up. What? The election’s not for 18 months? No matter. With ten candidates in the Republican field so far, the campaigning and posturing is well under way. The first debate was held yesterday at the Reagan Presidential Library. Frankly, I think that’s a thing of beautiful symbolism. Who’s going to …
Researching Days — Day One
When I was in Nebraska a couple weeks ago I got to spend a couple days doing on site research for Sandhill Dreams and Captive Dreams. I’m going to share some of the experiences from that with you over the next couple weeks. For any book I write, there’s a lot of research. If it’s a current suspense, I need …
Quick Post
I just finished a sneak peek at Colleen Coble’s book Abomination, that will release in August. Oh my gosh, people, it is FANTASTIC! I’ll post more about it later, but let me just say she has risen to the challenge of writing a suspense worthy of hardcover. And Thomas Nelson is getting behind it with advertising. Should be amazing! I …
Random Musings?
I made several stops on the Carnival of Christian Writers last night. There were some great blog posts, but I found this one over at Cause of Our Joy fascinating. The author shares some of what she learned in a meeting with Walden Media. Interesting note on the role of blogs in spreading the word, too. Tonight I’ll be in …
Carnival of Christian Writers
We made it back to good ole Indiana after a LONG day in the car. Makes me very grateful we don’t have to do it the old fashioned way — covered wagon would be too rough. Since I’m way too tired to post anything creative, I direct you to the Writer Interrupted Carnival of Christian Writers. Each month Gina Conroy …
