Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Heroines books! Not only am I planning on writing more Christian fiction, I am finishing up rewrites this month to my next novel, The Mark of the King! This one is set in French colonial New Orleans in the 1720s, and will release from Bethany House Publishers in January 2017. After this one, I have two more books contracted with Bethany. When those books are done, I plan to write more! (less)

Another one I really loved was Atlanta (Voices of the Civil War) by Time-Life Books. It contains lots of first-person accounts from both sides. If you're interested in Atlanta history outside of the Civil War, I can recommend The Swan House by Elizabeth Musser. It's a novel set in Atlanta in the 1960s.(less)

Third Windy City Saga Tour Complete!

Whew! Last weekend was the third Windy City Saga Tour that I've hosted in less than eighteen months. It was an unmitigated success. This time we were at capacity again with 22 readers plus my husband and myself, and two special guest authors on Saturday--Kate Breslin and Laura Frantz! These tours are based on the sites readers see in my historical novels in the Chicago-based series called The Wind Read more of this blog post »

I thoroughly enjoyed this very clean general market mystery with all the Jane Austen characters and vibes. I thought I had the mystery figured out, but I was surprised at the end! A fun, charming read--as fun and charming as a murdery mystery can be!

“All good writers write [terrible first drafts.] This is how they end up with good second drafts and terrific third drafts. . . I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said you can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

“Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.”
Henry Ward Beecher

“Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.”
Henry Ward Beecher
