13 Reasons Why Blog Tour and Giveaway

I love being a part of tours with authors I'm friends with--and whose message I support. The choice to accept life is a message I fully support and I'm excited about Faith's and Kaitlyn's book supporting this message!
Guest Post
13 Reasons Why is a Netflix TV series centered around a young girl's suicide. There's debate about whether it promotes suicide or simply raises awareness, but the undeniable fact is that this show has persuaded others to take their own lives. Each episode explains...

Thankfulness Habit

Why is it that bad habits are easy to keep and good habits are easy to lose? About a year ago, I began keeping a “gratitude journal” where I wrote 7-10 things I was grateful for each day. Then, life got busy and I neglected my journal. 


This summer, God convicted me that I needed to pick it up again—and this time, I decided to keep it on my phone so I could add to it randomly throughout the day. And then I realized... it had been *weeks* since I added to my journal.
My first reaction is to...

Two New Books! | Rebekah A. Morris and Angie Thompson

Rebekah Morris is a friend who's writing I can trust, so I'm excited to have her and a friend on my blog today for their release tour!!!

Thanks for joining the excitement of the release of two new books! This may be a different kind of blog tour than you've ever seen, but I hope you'll join the fun! Each blog post on each day will be different. No two will have all the same images, or information, so to learn more about these books, check out the other blogs this week!

And yes, each book is on...

Release Day!!!

Today has come a VERY LONG LAST!!!!!! :D To say I'm excited is almost an understatement. I have a lot of feelings right now. I have learned so much in the time that it took to write, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, edit, edit, and edit again. This has by far been the most difficult project to date, but I am very thankful that God has faithfully seen me through it and has given me everything I needed to release another book. And I am so thrilled that it can finally be in your hands!!!

I had to...

1 Day!

As I was working on editing “Protecting the Poor,” I listened to a sermon that just fit perfectly with the message I was presenting (it shouldn’t surprise me when that happens—maybe I should say, it encourages me, because it just solidifies that this is the message God has for this specific work). You have Dumphey, the rugged and strong, and Noel, the timid and inadequate. And Alistair Begg so fluently expounded on our perception of what makes a Christian leader and who God chooses. Here are...

Behind the Cover | Blog Tour Stop at Honey Rock Hills

Designing book covers is probably one of my top favorite things to do when publishing a book (well, that and actually writing the story and formatting it and getting to share it... ;)). Today, I'm talking about some behind-the-scenes in designing covers for the Tales of Faith series. This includes a glimpse at some of the covers and ideas that didn't make it. Visit Honey Rock Hills to see what all went on behind the designs!

2 Days!

“TheSecret Slipper” is a lot more closely related to “Protecting the Poor” than “Befriendingthe Beast.” Dumphey, Noel, Philaon, Barat, Feroci, and Zuzene first emerged in “The Secret Slipper.” You can still read “Protecting the Poor” without having formerly read “The Secret Slipper,” but a few details make more sense if you read Slipper first.

Her unique spin on the classic tale was well written when memorable characters.
