As I stated in a previous post, I know these authors, and they know me! They’re all fellow members of our ACFW Minnesota Chapter, MN NICE. I’d love it–and they’d love it too–if you’d add these books to your Christmas list or purchase them for a loved one. Regency THE DANCING MASTER by Julie Klassen (Bethany House) – this novel …
The Wizard of Oz at the Ordway – Fantastic Family Fun!
Growing up, watching The Wizard of Oz when it came on TV was an annual family event. We’d never miss it! We’d sit in front of our black ‘n white TV set and be entranced for two and a half hours. (I didn’t know, till I was an older teen, that Oz was filmed in color!) Entranced is exactly how …
A Novel Christmas List – My Friends from Inkspirational Messages!
This is the post where I get to do some name-dropping. Yes, I know the authors of the books listed below, and they even know me! (Though, they might not admit to it.) One of the greatest blessings of being an author is befriending others who share my same passion–I love supporting them all! So, when you head to your local …
A Novel Christmas List–Biblical, Speculative, and Young Adult
Today’s list is a bit shorter, but it’s quality. I highly recommend these three novels plus other works by these authors. Biblical Fiction ISCARIOT: A Novel of Judas by Tosca Lee (Howard Books) Judas Iscariot has been reviled as a liar, thief, and traitor—though Jesus called him friend. But when Judas realizes the Nazarene refuses to bow to social and …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise …
A Novel Christmas List–More for Women
Thanks to everyone who stopped by last Tuesday to check out my Christmas list ideas for women. For those of who didn’t see something that fit, I have a few additional favorites I know that special woman in your life will love! And I’m not done yet. Over the next two weeks I’ll be covering YA, Speculative, Biblical fiction, Minnesota …
A Novel Christmas List – Especially for Guys
Now, don’t get me wrong. Just because I recommend these books for that special man in your life, doesn’t mean they won’t appeal to women. Personally, I tend to gravitate toward the male author voice, so these novels instantly catch my eye. So, ladies, go ahead and purchase these books for your guy, but I give you permission to read …
A Novel Christmas List–Especially for Women
If you’re like me, you’ll think it’s still a bit early to talk Christmas shopping, but Thanksgiving is next week, which means Black Friday is almost here. For those of you who have impossible-to-buy-for friends and relatives, in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a book. So, this week and next I’ll be listing a few books from across …
A Thread of Hope
This past weekend I received one more “No” to add to my Rejection Collection. (sigh) It’s never easy to hear no when your dreams are attached to it, even though it was a very kind no, and it did offer a thread of hope. But on that day, the thread seemed awfully weak and appeared to be fraying. So, I …
Getting to Know Screenplay Author & Movie Producer, Scott Peterson
Many exciting things are happening it my church right now. At the forefront is that we’re moving into our own building in less than a month. After three plus years of worshiping in a school gym, it will be a very welcome experience. More excitement comes from fellow church goers, Scott and Diane Peterson. You see, right now Scott’s living …
