If you follow my site closely, you might know that today is the day Pieces of Granite (Coming Home series prequel) was supposed to release. As you can tell, that hasn’t happened. You see, within this past month, my publishing journey has been affected by a slight plot twist. Without boring you with a long story, I’m announcing that I’m …
Interesting Indies
I admit, I don’t typically read indie-published books. Like many readers, I’ve been wary of the quality. But with the sameness of books published traditionally, I’m willing to venture out and try some indies. From what I hear, the quality has greatly improved . Today I’m over at Inkspirational Messages talking about a couple of indie-published books I’m looking forward …
Pages of Hope Ministry
As a book lover, I’m always thrilled when I discover an organization whose goal is to serve the community via the written word. Such organizations are rare, so when I discovered one practically in my own back yard, I got a little giddy. Naturally, I contacted them and then had the pleasure of meeting with Glenda (works with Pages of Hope) who …
Novel Anticipation, October 2014
There are several new releases for the month of October, but just a couple pique my interest. John Otte’s latest addition to his Failstate series is a must read–I just hope I get to it before one of my kids or my husband. We tend to fight over John’s books. 😉 And I really enjoyed Patricia Bradley’s debut novel, Shadows …

Gone With the Wind on the Big Screen!
It’s no secret that I love seeing movies on the big screen. I love the atmosphere, the surround sound, the comfort. Plus, watching a movie uninterrupted by the phone or family members is always a luxury. (Oh, and I enjoy movie theater popcorn too, btw.) So, when I learned that Gone With the Wind was celebrating its 75th Anniversary by showing …

Debut Series Observations
Before I share some of my observations from the 2014 Debut Christian Fiction series, I realized there’s one important novel I neglected to mention: my own! CHAIN OF MERCY released in April and has received very generous reviews so far. Readers have described it as “gripping” “a must read” “gritty” “awesome” “authentic” “not like other books” “mesmerizing” just to throw out a …

2014 Debut Christian Fiction, Part 9
When I dreamed up this series several weeks ago, I never imagined I would need nine posts to complete. As it is, I could easily have stretched it out, but I think it’s time to move on. Now that I know what to expect from debut authors, I’ve decided to make this a once per month post, starting in January. …
