Weaving History into Fantasy | Blog Tour Stop at Author Abigail Harris
Let’s be honest. When we think of the medieval age, we tend to romanticize it. I mean, who else gets these images in mind? (credit: all images from Pixabay)
This is more the style that I featured in my Tales of Faith series, but it's not historically accurate. Read the full article over at Author Abigail Harris's blog.

Yours Truly, Thomas | Book Review
The premise of this story was amazing: a dead letter office worker who feels pity for a man who’s running out west yet yearning for his love back home. As the story unfolds, there are many more juicy story bits that are creative, but it’d spoil it to tell you.
The romance in this story was sweet and there really wasn’t any moment I felt it was inappropriate. Penny is definitely a romantic dreamer at heart, but she does get a taste of reality through the story.
There were references to God and t...

A Matter of Trust | Blog Tour Stop at Maidens for Modesty
It’s easy to trust God in areas that don’t really matter to us—in areas that are going in a smooth flow anyway. But what about that thing that is nearest and dearest to us?

But do we truly be...

The Logic of God | Book Review
This is an impossibly hard book to review. It covers so many topics and so very thoroughly and well, I can’t begin to give a cohesive overview. There are chapters on fear, peace, hope, convictions, confrontation, dealing with diverse world views... basically, it is a good book for any Christian to read. It has gotten me to think deeply about many things. I do wish to read it in a slower fashion and not on a review-book deadline, because it’s not the best book to skim.
Personally, I preferred r...

Happy July! | Tales of Faith 3-Month Tour
Happy July! This is an exciting month for me. Why? Let’s see if I can narrow it down…Note: these are in no particular order of importance. ;)
1) It’s month two of the 3-month “Tales of Faith” tour!I don’t know if you went through and read all of the first month’s posts, but I had a blast with all of these bloggers. The tour started out here where I reminisced the whole beginning of the "Tales of Faith" series. From there, we had reviews of "Befriending the Beast" at Wildflower Acres, Sing...

Excerpt and Review | Last two Blog Tour Stops of June
With camps, I've fallen behind posting this week, so we get 2-in-1 today before a whole new blog tour series starts on Monday!!
This week, I shared an excerpt from "Befriending the Beast" at A.M. Heath's blog and today was a review at Tangled Up in Writing.
It's hard to believe the first month of blog tour is up! And in just a few short weeks, I get to start talking more in depth about "Protecting the Poor!" But first, July will be a full month dipping back into "The Secret Slipper" and th...

About the Book
Ignored by her father…
Adah was neglected by her abba and her brother. She must do something. All her previous plans have failed, but she won’t slip up this time. Since her abba is King David, author of many songs, what better way to gain his attention than pulling off a concert featuring twelve of his daughters?
As she plans, Adah’s discontentment grows. She throws herself into the work but worry edges into...
