So the pages came today, that last version of the book prior to print. The next step is holding the actual novel in hand. For now, I have 407 pages to peruse. I open the envelopes that have been Fedexed overnight and put all the pages together. And because I’d rather be playing in my sunny garden like Lark in …
KSDAR Reading List
It’s such an honor to find The Lacemaker on the current KSDAR list among so many fine books. I see quite a few here that I’ve read and others new to me that I’m adding to my stack! As a member of the DAR, specifically the Berea-Laurel Ridges Chapter, I’m especially blessed. Heartfelt thanks to those who compiled the list …
The Time~Warp Wife
This summer is a summer to remember. Major remodel. Empty nest. Church search. Parting with 25 years of stuff in order to simplify. Despite working on 2 historical books, I still found myself longing for a Bible study to do on my own. That spiritual hunger is the sweetest of all & God never fails to satisfy & serve up …
Soon to be on my shelf
When I first began publishing in 2009, there were not as many Christian fiction titles out there and fewer covers that stood out.

A Scottish Setting
If you were to ask which country is my favorite other than the U.S.A. I’d say Scotland without pause. Home of my Hume ancestors (and those Ballantynes), Scotland has epic history, scenery, and cuisine, to name just a few of its many treasures. Here are some things I learned about Scotland as an ex-patriate: Scotland is smaller than the state …
New newsletter with a perk!
I finally took the plunge last year and hired a freelancer to teach me how to craft a compelling newsletter (I so hope you think it’s compelling)! I’m all about beauty and edification so it took countless hours to transfer that vision in my head and heart to a delightful e-letter format. Since I love sending snail mail complete with …
Yes to the dress!
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″] [et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Cover art continues to be my favorite part of publishing and it seems to be of fascination for many readers, too. Other than reading the book! I begin thinking about a cover as soon as I start writing the book and create a ‘secret’ Pinterest board where I save images to share …
