Working With Editors – Pt 2
When I saw the “Evel Pie” sign on our recent “first timer’s” tour of Las Vegas, I thought: Those folks needed a better editor!

The God Who Wrestles
Our kids and grands got a new puppy, Frankie. He wrestles and nips and romps and is full of personality–a perfect fit for their active family. Hypothetically, if you went to pick out a puppy, and you could judge by a single visit which would be a Naughty Nelson or a Pillow Parker, which temperament would you choose? Naughty Nelson: ...

Working With Editors – Pt 1
Failure. It’s an ugly word, isn’t it? Though editors and authors don’t even speak the word, most of us wrestle with it internally.

Under Cover – THE RELUCTANT RIVAL: LEAH’S STORY
