Liz Carter is the author of Catching Contentment and she was kind enough to answer a few of my questions about life, lament, writing, faith and living with a chronic illness.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to write the book?

song in my head — “no tears left to cry” by Ariana Grande

Sometimes doing the responsible thing feels somewhat irresponsible.

Maybe this is because what is "responsible" is often determined by the culture or society around us, and any step outside of that lane is viewed as a break from tradi...

Citações de “Eu já posso imaginar que faço”, por Carlos Amaral Dias e João Sousa Monteiro.

J.S.M – “Existe hoje, nas sociedades civilizadas, uma imensa intolerância à tristeza. É como se a negação da tristeza constituísse para nós um deus, com um lugar dominante na nossa cultura, ao qual sacri...

Hi there, 

Shalini aka Shals is an avid reader & book blogger from India. She wrote an interesting review of my novel This Time! Giving it 4 stars (), this is what she had to say: 

The book was so much more than its blurb.

 

 

It began with an enthralling dread with the main character, Nadira...

Creepy Pasta is a relatively new way to enjoy the Horror Genre. They are the modern equivalent of urban legends, spread through the internet and springing from the phrase copypasta. It’s a mix of found footage, urban legends and ghost stories.  Effectively modern-day campfire storie...

It’s the start of the busy season! For the gym, that is. So far I haven’t had to wait for any piece of equipment nor has anyone hit me in the face (accidentally or on purpose) with a dumbbell, so I’m happy to welcome the 2019 resolutioners to the awesome-for-your-body work that is weight lifting....

I finally have the projected publication date for Floodtide (by virtue of simply asking about it). It's on the Bella Books schedule for October 2019. My mind immediately goes to thinking about where that falls with respect to conventions and whatnot....

As a single father, I spend a lot of time at home — but it’s a new year, and I’ve made a resolution: Get out more.

For some insane reason, I gave myself 9 books to read in January. >.<

In my defense, most of the books are shorter or easier to read. And also in my defense, I actually originally wrote down 8 books, and that’s the goal I have posted by my desk, so really, I don’t have to read 9 books to mee...

Good evening.

We here at cmheidicker.com pride ourselves on our honesty and accuracy. Which is why it is with a heavy heart and creased brow that we regret to inform you that we made an error in our previous blog post.

You see, we said we were going to say goodbye to Phoebe for a while. Ahem. But...

[image error]Desde que se iniciaron los cómics, aparecieron los “funny animals” : animales antropomorfos que permitían hablar de temas importantes y hacer reír también, colocando temas que hubiera sido muy difícil plantear en historieta (sin ir más lejos, el ejemplo perfecto: Maus)… Hice una list...

Me gusta hacer listas de fin de año porque me dan la oportunidad de repasar las cosas que hice. Lo llevo haciendo desde hace tiempo. Existe una etiqueta en este blog que se llama listas. (Qué ingenioso.)

No sólo es una forma de recapitular, sino de darme cuenta de lo rápido que pasa el tiempo. Mor...

Hi y’all! Today I’m going to tell you about 5 romance tropes I can’t get enough of. Why? Because they are perfect. Because we all need a little awesome cliche in our lives.

Because originality is overrated, and why teach a old dog new tricks if you can just tweak the trick so it’s sl...

There’s been a lot going on bookishly speaking, so here we go. I’m currently editing the book I hope to release this year. About half-way through now, and I’m loving every moment!

There are some cool things coming soon, including the fact that NINJA GIRL will be released in the spring as an audi...

Before I begin today’s post, I wanted to thank those of you who have commented on previous posts. You have been so supportive and I am grateful. It is so much easier to keep writing when one knows one has an audience. So here we go…

Is compatibility a matter of chance in any relationship? Especially life partners? I don’t think so. In fact, I used to be a big fan of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs during my college days. I would have read that umpteen times in a year or two. In fact, I used to guess a person’s zodiac without knowi...

You need something from a colleague, a vendor, a partner, a relative – what do you do? If you’re of a certain age, you write an email.

You do it in hopes that something will happen as a result – the recipient(s) will take action, respond, whatever. Yet often, those emails go unnoticed, lingering u...

It’s cover time! Whoop! Whoop!

All right. Fine. After some feedback from fans and colleagues, I have reconsidered my stance on award posts. Even though it makes me feel a little uncomfortable, here’s my own award eligibility post.

In 2018, I had two published works that are eligible.

First, POINTS OF IMPACT, book 6 in the Frontl...
