Where do you place your hope? Be honest now. Think about where you are right now. What you’re doing. Do you place your hope in your job? Your marriage? Children? Friends? The weather? For me, too often my hope is placed in having a good day of sales, or receiving a positive review. No doubt, those things lift our spirits, …
Capturing Beauty Playlist
For me, music and books go together. Whenever I’m writing, there are always songs in the back of my mind that help tell the story, and when the story is completed, I’ll find more music that go with the theme or the characters. The playlist for Capturing Beauty might be short, but the music is mighty! What are your favorite …
You Are Altogether Beautiful!
You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Songs 4:7 Wow! Can you imagine such praise? Such love? It can be difficult to comprehend, yet that is God’s love letter to us in Song of Songs. “…there is no flaw in you.” No flaw. Wow! In Capturing Beauty, my heroine believes …
We Are Priceless!
In Capturing Beauty, because of past events, my heroine (Callie) has trouble really believing that she is one of God’s beautiful creations. She knows it in her head, but her heart denies it. How many of us feel the same way? We know what the Bible says about His creation, but when it comes to really believing that we’re beautiful, …
Risking Love Playlist – I’m Letting Go
In RISKING LOVE, my heroine, Lissa Morgan, is a very play-it-safe, super-organized person who has trouble surrendering control to God. (This may or may not be somewhat biographical. 😉 Just sayin’ …) Chances are you know someone like this, or have those control tendencies yourself. Let’s face it, it’s not easy releasing control on many aspects of our lives, as …

Hungry for Home’s Christmas Playlist
While my latest release, Hungry for Home, is not a Christmas story, it does take place at Christmastime, and therefore it’s filled with references to popular Christmas music.

STAY – Pieces of Granite Playlist
In Pieces of Granite, the hero’s [Jerry’s] greatest fear is that his wife [Debbie] will leave him. Like most fears, it’s brought on by experience as almost everyone he’s loved in his life has abandoned him. So, when I heard the song “STAY” by Tenth Avenue North, I knew this would be Jerry’s song. I love the passion in the lyrics and …
Broken Together – Pieces of Granite Playlist
Years ago the line from the Jerry Maguire movie, “You complete me” made women swoon and suddenly became the catch phrase for couples. Sure, it sounds romantic and loving, but how realistic is it?
