I had a different plan for the decor crawl. but then I was in some cute little shop, not really looking for a front door hanger because I have a perfectly nice one  and I saw this: It just spoke to me.  Peace on Earth Dear God, Let there be peace on Earth It seems ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Cheryl Pierson

Hi Everyone! Christmas is probably my very favorite time of year–every single year. My husband says I’m still “a big ol’ fifth grader” when it comes to Christmas, and he’s probably right about that. Today I thought I would just share a few of my decorations–I don’t ever do ‘trendy’ things because my decorations and ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Jo-Ann Roberts

In our family, the Christmas holiday is full of delicious food and decking the halls. As native New Englanders, our decor reflects old-fashioned themed displays.

Mail-Order Brides…and Husbands ~ by Jodie Wolfe

I’ve always found the topic of mail-order brides fascinating. Men predominantly settled the western part of the United States. They went in search of gold, to build ranches and homesteads and soon found themselves desiring to have a wife for companionship and to enjoy the new life they’d built. They didn’t want to go back ... Read more

The Making of an Audiobook ~ by Pam Crooks

Even with my long career as a published writer, I’ve never had an audio made of my books. In my own defense, though, audiobooks were never much of a thing until the last few years.  Amazon and their Audible program is much to credit for that, and writers are constantly looking for ways to market ...
