An overflowing heart to be among so much edifying fiction for the win!

And readers/reading friends who have done …
Farewell, October
We gaze at mountain scenery; we watch the waves breaking on the shore; we walk through a beech wood in October. And we are filled with a sense of beauty. We return home feeling refreshed, like a thirsty man who has drunk a glass of water. ~C.R.Milne

Thirty-three years ago today, I married my real-life hero, Randy. So, here’s to many years of marriage, a lifetime of hills & valleys, & the man who inspired more than a few …
Research & rabbit trails…
Research is something I enjoy almost as much as writing—& for a historical fiction author, it’s key to authentic storytelling. I once read an engaging novel set in Jamestown Colony & was humming happily along when suddenly a dance scene commenced…& the characters began waltzing. WHAT? I share that story knowing full well that my own novels are not 100% …

I love this reminder of just who God is. THE author. Not just of creation but our faith. Every good & perfect gift is from above. He is love. Light. Hope. Eternity. And so much more. Amen.
When an author friend sends you a review
I got so tickled—tickled pink, or rather indigo!—when an author friend sent me this review she’d come across for one of my novels.
