Pinning away!
I must confess I’ve been having way too much fun over at Pinterest. I came on board reluctantly a few months ago as I don’t have much time but this is really different. There’s even this new little annoyance (addiction) called “secret boards.” If you’ve read my novels, I’m all about secrets:) So I now have a dozen or so boards (some …
Step by step
BRING ME YOUR WEAKNESS, and receive My peace. Accept yourself and your circumstances just as they are, remembering that I am sovereign over everything.

So worth watching…
If you’re in need of some serious drama and history during these long winter nights, this series by the History Channel is well worth watching. After spending time in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia summer before last and touring the Henry Frick estate, this production really came alive for me.

And I bought this thistle cup so I could keep having tea at home. Making a good cup of tea is truly a treat:) There’s some discussion about how to do it right. I’ve been adding 1 teaspoon per cup …

Some of you may have read her debut novel, Wedded to War. She’s known for the depth of her research and passion for military history. Gettysburg was such a key battle …
A Home For My Heart
I’ve just finished reading A Home for My Heart by Anne Mateer. This cover captures the heart of the story perfectly and will release September 1st from Bethany House. To celebrate, I’ll be having a giveaway that day. You just have to meet these characters! This is Anne’s third novel and all her books have an uncommon freshness and authenticity. When she shared her …

Winter break…
Planning the Grand Tour, Emil Brack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a highly romanticized, detailed painting straight out of the time period I’m currently lost in:) Things are going to go dark here for a little while as I take care of endorsements for other authors and cram as much writing time in before galleys arrive for book 2 of The Ballantyne Legacy. …
