In Feast or Famine Makes the ECPA June 2023 Bestseller List!

Though some might think I’ve won many awards or graced several bestseller lists, that would be incorrect. I’m much more like the tortoise than the hare when it comes to my writing career–steady and faithful, not a quick or shining star. I have to admit…I squealed when my agent notified me today that In Feast or Famine made the ECPA ...

The Battle of Bible Heroes: Joseph vs. David

Let’s face it–when two heroes rumble, the whole earth shakes! Thankfully, I’m not writing about a real “battle” between our Bible heroes, Joseph and David. I’m not sure anyone would read that post or book or buy a movie ticket! The “battle” we’ll talk about today between biblical giants, Joseph and David, will measure the distance of their personal journeys. ...

Egypt – More Than Just Pyramids

When I wrote The Pharaoh’s Daughter, my first book set in Egypt, I thought there was a pyramid around every corner. Not so! Something similar happens with folks all around the world. The first landmark I think of when I imagine Paris is the Eiffel Tower, but France is filled with so much more than that single landmark! If you live ...

Dating Joseph In the Faiyum

Though I’ve never actually SEEN Joseph, son of Jacob, after hearing his description from the Bible’s Book of Genesis, I would have gladly dated him. In the Faiyum. In the desert. In the rain forest. (I sound like a Dr. Seuss book.) Okay wait! When I titled this post Dating Joseph In the Faiyum, I really meant dating–as in placing him on ...

Cover Design – In Feast Or Famine

I love a good hotdog, fresh off the grill or while watching a baseball game at a stadium with family. What I wouldn’t love is watching the process of making hotdogs. I’ve heard some pretty icky things go into those “tube steaks,” so sometimes ignorance-is-bliss, right? Well, NOT with cover design! Today, you and I get to dive into the ...

What Makes You Different?

What kind of different are we talking about today? In one of my favorite movies, the little boy, Forrest Gump, is forced to undergo some standardized testing before he enters school. The principal explains his less-than-favorable results to Forrest’s mother in the clip above by saying the famous words: “Your boy’s different, Mizzz Gump.” Is being different a bad thing or ...

The Fallout of Betrayal: Part I – Joseph’s Heritage

Betrayal—not a cheery topic, but at some point, we all meet it in a dark corner of our lives and need a light to shine on it. This month we’ll use Joseph’s journey to shine that light and continue the story we began last year in Potiphar’s Wife (Genesis 39). We built on the biblical foundation with historical research and added ...
