The discipline of thanksgiving
BRING ME THE SACRIFICE of thanksgiving. Take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. Before Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, thankfulness was as natural as breathing. Satan’s temptation involved pointing Eve to the one thing that was forbidden her. The Garden was filled with luscious, desirable fruits, but Eve focused on the one fruit …
New Revolutionary War Drama Coming Sunday…
Coming up for air here after the galleys and am awaiting the pages next before Love’s Fortune goes to print. This week is spring break for my boys so I’ll be enjoying that with them. But I had to sneak in a post to tell you about TURN, the new Revolutionary War drama about George Washington’s spy ring that airs …
Morrow’s Queen’s Cake and Laura’s Chocolate Cake!
I’ve had some delightful Morrow mail since Courting Morrow Little was on sale. One dear reader asked me for Morrow’s mother’s recipe for Queen’s Cake, something I had researched years ago. It’s worth sharing here, if only for a gasp or a chuckle! I had forgotten Morrow was something of a kitchen diva (and Roxanna, but that’s another story)… *Kitchen …

Remembering Morrow

He captured the look of Morrow’s cabin so perfectly with the exception of the …

Spring Giveaway!
Spring has almost sprung! And I’m giving away a box of books, bookmarks, and the amazing frontier novel, Northkill, which just released! I became a fan of Joan’s writing with her incredible American Patriot Series above. Her newest novel, Northkill, co-authored with Bob Hostetler, so moved and impressed me I wanted to give away a copy as a part of the spring giveaway. …
