One of my favorite annual events is coming up in a month – CFRR or the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat. I attended its debut event last year in Nashville and it was both memorable and inspiring and just downright FUN!
THE LACEMAKER Cover Reveal!
So pleased with this new cover that captures the setting of Colonial Williamsburg & our heroine’s handwork in 1775 Virginia. Even more meaningful, this is an actual gown from the time period in a museum collection!
My Kentucky Kitchen
Here are 2 simple recipes passed down from my great-grandmother, Louise, a Kentuckian who farmed just down the road from where we live now. I think of her often as I’m in my kitchen.
