It’s hard to believe in just two days I’ll be heading to Dallas. It’s an exciting time and a nerve-wracking time. I can’t wait to see all my friends again: my fellow bloggers from Inkspirational Messages, my critique partners, Shannon Vannatter and Lorna Seilstad, and all the other authors I’ve friended thanks to the Internet. And, of course, I’ll make …
Behind the Scenes at Fiction Addiction Fix
About a month ago, thanks to Kav over at Best Reads, I discovered the most wonderful blog for readers, writers, and bloggers alike: FictionAddictionFix.blogspot.com. This blog provides a wonderful service of advertising blog book giveaways. It’s run by two fellow writers, Kathy Maher and Debbie Lynne Costello, who graciously agreed to visit today. Q: Hi Kathy and Debbie Lynne! Thanks …

Novel Anticipation – September 2012, Part 2
I’m still awaiting the arrival of the three books from Novel Recommendation, Part 1 and now I’ve got three more to add. For a reader, that’s a nice problem to have. I’ve read from all three of these authors before, all of which have proven to be excellent storytellers. If you’re looking for novels that are different from the norm, …
Novel Recommendation – September 2012, Part 1
September is typically a crazy month for me. The kids go back to school, my husband has two conferences, I have one conference, we celebrate a handful of birthdays and anniversaries… Somewhere in there, I have to find time to read as so many good books are coming out. So many, in fact, that I need two weeks to talk …

ACFW Conference Prep
Did you know that the ACFW Conference is in less than a month? That realization struck me a few days ago as I considered all I have left to do before the conference. I think my head’s still spinning. Since then, I ordered new business cards that reflect the same feel of my Website, but I have a daunting list …
Savoring Love’s Reckoning
Welcome to the inaugural Book Talk Tuesday! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by today. Hopefully, we’ll visit on a weekly basis. I can’t think of a better way to jump start Book Talk Tuesday than by recommending Love’s Reckoning (Revell Books, 432 pages, September scheduled release), an historical romance written by one of my all-time favorite authors, Laura Frantz. To pique your …
Coming Soon … !
Coming Next Tuesday … Book Talk Tuesday! As of today, I’m saying good-bye to my Spire Reviews site so I can focus on book talk here. Hope to see you next week! Brenda
Chicago! A Girls’ Night Out
Admittedly, the musical Chicago is not a show I would typically want to see, but I’m not foolish enough to turn down the opportunity. So, this past Tuesday evening my daughter and I dressed up for a girls’ night out at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. Judging by the largely female audience, we weren’t the only ones with that …
