Now that the Coming Home series is complete a lot of you have asked, “What’s up next?” Well, until recently, I wasn’t certain of that myself, but I now have a plan. We all know that plans can go awry, but I’ll do my best to stay on schedule. I have a couple of books written in a new series (Where …
It’s Not About Me
Last week at church, we discussed Acts Chapter 14:8-19 which tells about Paul and Barnabas healing a man in Lystra.

2016 Novel Anticipation
As the publishing climate continues to change, my list of must-read books continues to shrink. 2016 will not bring us the latest Laura Frantz, as her publisher is moving her to spring releases. My good friend Lorna Seilstad doesn’t have a book coming out this year either (insert sad face). I’m sure Charles Martin will have a 2016 release, but …
A Bookish Christmas List, Part One
Books are The Best Christmas gift, wouldn’t you agree? But with the proliferation of titles available now, it can be difficult deciding which book(s) to purchase. I hope to make your choice a little bit easier by spotlighting a book (or two) from several categories. Today I offer suggestions for Young Adult, Mystery/Suspense, and Speculative fiction readers.

Novel Anticipation – December 2015
This month’s small selection emphasizes my diverse reading tastes. Story wise, the following two books couldn’t be further apart, but both authors are at the top of their genre and are master storytellers. I’m certain I’m in for hours of reading enjoyment!
