Hi Lexi, I'm sorry, I somehow missed seeing you question. I usually try to answer questions from GoodReads friends right away!

I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed Shine Like the Dawn. I'm just about ready to turn in my next English historical romance, Across the Blue, which comes out early in 2018. It's set in Kent, England, near Dover. The hero is a pilot who designs airplanes and wants to be the first to fly across the English Channel. The heroine is an aspiring journalist who believes his story will be the ticket to launching her career, but her parents want her to focus on finding a husband, not writing for a newspaper. Lots of fun history tucked into this romantic adventure! Happy Reading! (less)

Say Yes to the Call of Adventure!

 

Would you consider yourself a brave person? That’s how I usually think of myself.  But sometimes, when I’m invited to do something challenging, I’ve been known to make excuses and try to find a way out. Let me tell you how I learned the importance of saying yes to the call to adventure.A few years ago my husband Scott, who is a pastor and author of parenting books, was invited to speak in Kenya, Read more of this blog post »

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
“We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.”
