Author Chat & Book Signing - July 24th - 10 am

Wow has it been a super busy month! Several book signings these past few weeks, not to mention the usual daily housewifely chores. Laundry, ironing, cleaning, cooking, you get the idea. It's been great!



The Lord really blessed us this past weekend at the 41st Annual Threshermen's Show up in Adams, TN. I got to meet quite a few wonderful people ~ I loved every second of it! Thank you to all who stopped by my table. It was a pleasure!



Upcoming events: Next up, the Spring Hill Library was kind...

Book Signing in Franklin, TN ~ July 11th, 3-5pm

This week is going to be an eventful week ~ I can already tell. First, a friend of mine's book is officially released today ~ Toni Nelson, author of A Beggar's Purse. Congrats Toni!



Second, I'm working on finding any and all the kinks in my audio book ~ if you'll look at my pages, you'll see that I've uploaded Chapter 1 for your listening enjoyment. Please keep a few things in mind: it's unfinished and unedited, and no. I'm not the narrator. Have a listen and tell me what you think!

True Encounters

~Encounter one:

It was early in the evening and we were settling down to cuddle on the couch when the phone rang. Answering it, I found to my delight, it was a friend from long ago with whom I'd lost contact. We talked for a little while, and in that time I found she was no longer the happy-go-lucky young woman who loved life to the fullest, but a broken, discouraged and depressed person who'd endured many a difficult situation. Of course my heart went out to this friend, a good friend that h...

Stepping out on Faith. Easy, right?

Oh my word. I went to a church today by way of introducing my book to them, and you would have thought they picked up stones to throw at me. (They didn't.

My husband of 12 years died last year at age 49. He threw a blood clot approximately 15 hours post-surgery for a hip replacement. We held his funeral on what should have been his 50th birthday. I started writing as a way to express my thoughts and my grief.



2) Do you write now as a...
