It’s hard to believe that yesterday was Chain of Mercy‘s six-month birthday. In a way it seems as if it just released yesterday, but then it feels like it’s been out for forever. For the most part, it’s been a good six months. I’ve received tremendous encouragement from readers and writers alike. I’ve heard from people who’ve experienced similar situations …
Traveling the Blogosphere
I’ve been traveling around the blogosphere a bit this week, and I’d love to have you come visit.

I’m also offering a giveaway: one free e-book of Chain of Mercy to one lucky commenter. So, stop …
Debut Series Observations
Before I share some of my observations from the 2014 Debut Christian Fiction series, I realized there’s one important novel I neglected to mention: my own! CHAIN OF MERCY released in April and has received very generous reviews so far. Readers have described it as “gripping” “a must read” “gritty” “awesome” “authentic” “not like other books” “mesmerizing” just to throw out a …
What’s Up Next?
First, I want to thank all my readers for supporting me on this writing journey. Your encouragement and prayers make this writing road trip much easier to navigate. (Sorry, couldn’t help the road trip analogy–I’ve just spent the last two days in the car!) Anyway, a number of people have been asking me What’s Up Next? When does your next …
Crafty Kindle Cover
Those of you who know me, know that I’m not crafty. Honestly, doing crafts induces rather reduces stress, so I actively avoid crafting. Yet, every once in a while I get the itch to try something, and I’m thrilled when it turns out. Now to be completely honest, I have attempted this craft before (go >here<), but I’ve modified this …
Ground-Cooked Turkey
Yes, it is book-talk Tuesday, and yes I will be talking turkey, and yes, the two do go together! If you give me a moment, I’ll explain. First off, on Sunday, my family celebrated my mom’s birthday. We’re talking 37 people counting my folks, siblings, siblings-in-law, nieces and nephews, and a couple of in-laws’ parents. A nice cozy gathering, very …

Blog Hopping Today!
No, I don’t usually post on Fridays, but I’m doing some blog-hopping today and thought you might want to come say “Hi.” At Inkspirational Messages, in celebration of Lorna Seilstad‘s new release While Love Stirs, we’ve been talking about birth order and how that affects who we are. I’m the third of seven in my family, but my traits are …
