I’m talking about being a bit overwhelmed. But, that’s life! https://inkspirationalmessages.com/overwhelmed/ You’re going to want to stop by today because we’re giving away a bunch of books, including mine, and the contest ends tonight …
When God Ran – Chain of Mercy Playlist – Song #5
” …we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” Luke 15:32 Most of us are familiar with the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). The son of a wealthy man takes his inheritance and squanders it on wild living. Once he’d wasted it …
Chain of Mercy Updates!
April 22, 2014 – Two weeks from today is Chain of Mercy‘s official release date! Eek! It’s still rather surreal–maybe it will become real once I actually hold a book in my hands and page through it, smell the paper, run my fingers over the cover. I can’t wait! In the meantime, the process has been picking up speed. In this …

Chain of Mercy Playlist – Songs #3 & #4
Abortion. A word that provokes emotion and stirs controversy. An act that has left an infinite trail of tears … broken hearts … guilt.

Chain of Mercy Playlist – Song #2
Forgiveness is an underlying theme in Chain of Mercy as each of the main characters struggles with one aspect of it. The hero, Richard Brooks, cannot accept forgiveness. The heroine, Sheila Peterson, doesn’t realize that what she has done requires forgiveness. And a third main character, Meghan Keene, refuses to forgive. Matthew West wrote the song Forgiveness based upon a …
Porgy & Bess – A Stirring Presentation
Before attending the show last night, I knew nothing about The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess. I didn’t know the story, and I was unfamiliar with the music. The musical had never been on my radar before. Well, it is now. The story takes place in the early 1920’s in the fictitious Catfish Row (Charleston, South Carolina). It’s about a disabled …
Why I Write Christian Fiction
Why do I write Christian fiction? Well, the quick answer is, “Why not?” I’m a Christian who writes, so why not write Christian fiction? Perhaps I should back up a little bit, though, and define what I mean by Christian fiction. A lot of people get bent out of shape with the label (I say, get over it. The label …
