All Things New

  It’s the time of year when thoughts naturally turn to reflection on the year gone by and anticipation of the year to come. Reflections and resolutions. There’s something about flipping the calendar page from December 31 to January 1. Technically, it’s the end of one day and beginning of another just like every other that passes from night into morning. Yet it somehow feels different. A new year brings new possibilities, new potential. Anything seems possible. We make resolutions with the best

Added Goodies

We are on the downslope of this holiday season and ready for the coming New Year. I don't know what was found under your tree or in your stocking on Christmas morning but one more gift can never hurt. Vox Dei Publishing is having a special giveaway to end the year and you could win!! There are lots of great goodies from several Vox Dei Authors including a leather cuff bracelet, a $10 Starbucks giftcard, cool author swag, and 4 autographed books including a signed paperback of The Chronicle of

I Was Going to Write About Star Wars

  Okay, so, everyone everywhere is talking about Star Wars. Even people that have never seen any of the Star Wars films (I'm trying not to judge) are joining in the pop culture extravaganza by posting memes about how they've never seen Star Wars. (Let's see how many times I can say Star Wars in one paragraph.)    Seeing as yesterday the Force awakened I thought coming up with some awesome exploration of the films would be culturally relevant and I would sound really cool. I really couldn't think

It's A Twofer!!!

Vox Dei (my amazingly awesome publisher) has so much goodness coming your way. For real. Some amzing books are about to be released and I am so super excited to get to share in their launch joy by spreading the word. We kicked off with our introduction to Niki Krauss' upcoming LIttle Girl mended and I get to follow up by revealing the cover to not one but two soon to be releases.    We will go with ladies first and start with The Gates Manor Band by Jan Hemby. (Insert applause here.)     Julia

Comfort & Joy

  “The point isn’t to protect us from all the bad sweetheart. Its to be with us through it.” - Charlie, The Chronicle of the Three.    After a month of getting out of rhythm I found myself firing back away at the second book in my trilogy, The Chronicle of the Three. It may not make much sense to say this, but sometimes my characters surprise me. The story goes to places I hadn't initially planned. They say things that I hadn't thought they would say. Weird, I know but I guess its my process, to

Little Girl Mended

  I love my publisher. Seriously, Vox Dei rocks socks. (And not just because they published my book though that is still pretty awesome.) I love my publisher because this little group of authors, editors, proofreaders, cover designers, etc have become like a little family. We pray for each other, encourage each other and support one another's work.    So I am totally excited for this little first here on my blog and know it is just the first of many. Today I get the privilege of being part of

The Thrill of HOPE

Christmas is supposed to be a merry time. Its supposed to be all about joy and giving and hope. But it occurrs to me that while I am wrapping gifts and baking cookies and decking the halls, not everyone is so joyful. Some are grieving. Some are lonely. And some have simply lost hope.    The dictionary defines hope as, "the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best:" If that is hope a lot of us lack it. Maybe just for a day but unfortuantely there are those

Because Besties Share.

Because its Christmas and because when you find something you love, you share it with your BFF, I am having a giveaway!   Shout out to me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest who you would share a copy of my book with and you could win a free copy for you and your friend!!   The more you post and share the more entries you get. On December 15th I'll choose 5 random winners who will receive a free digital copy of my book, The Chronicle of the Three: Bloodline, for them and a friend. And 1

I Don't Normally Do This, But...

Okay, so I don't normally just write book reviews here on my little blog. In the past I have just invited other authors to guest blog and then shared information on their work.    I'm making an exception.   Not because I wouldn't love for Sarah to guest blog. (Email me girl.) But because I just finished reading her book and couldn't help but share my thoughts on it with all of you. (No one asked me to review the book, I bought it and just had to.)   Let's start with some info on Sarah West and

Who Doesn't Like a Good Deal?

I don't know about you, but the thought of waiting in line, outside, in the cold, before dawn is not my idea of how to spend a friday morning. I'm talking about Black Friday. I love good deals but not the crowds and the work of it all. (I'm not judging, if you are a Black Friday shopper than go you and may the odds be ever in your favor!)   But me? I like the kind of shopping that happens in my pajamas from my sofa, nice cup of coffee in hand.    The cool thing is either way you can enjoy the
