IWSG: Each Unique
Published, self-published, or unpublished, we are creatures the Lord made as different as the snowflakes in winter. Why would He need to be redundant? Our free will leads us down new avenues as unique as the hairs on our heads. Is the drive to write down all the scenarios in life that we can imagine [...]

Whence Came Rohn
Born of books, she was. Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Sherlock Holmes, Kafka, Edgar Allen Poe, Christopher Fry, King James Version of the Bible, Elizabeth George all added a bone or a hank of thinning hair. Early on, her mother handed her books to keep from listening to her broken record. A neighbor thought she might [...]

IWSG: Husband’s Advice
So I asked my husband of twenty-five years, “What would you tell the group?” He’s the man, who after I’d had lunch with, where he ordered in Chinese (he’s Jewish), said, “I’d like to read what you’ve written.” I told a co-worker, “I think I’ve found the one.” His secretary told me of his integrity, [...]

Mont-Saint-Michel: Hero’s Entrance
Five-hundred and seventy-six years later, when the dreamer, Catherine Marksteiner, stepped upon the sacred ground of Mont-Saint-Michel, St. Joan’s spirit welcomed her. With history threatening to forget her, St. Joan determined France should build an edifice worthy of God’s glory on the unconquered rock of Mont-Saint-Michel, one St. Joan’s enthusiasts could see with their own [...]

Mont-Saint-Michel, 1430
After the siege of Paris, when her Voices abandoned her, the Maid of Orleans went missing from historical records for four months before she was captured. She might have used the time to secure the defenses of Mont-Saint-Michel with captured English mortars. Her army would have traveled undetected at night, as they did for eleven [...]

IWSG: Outline for My Novels
Where to start once an idea for a lengthy novel comes to mind? I must admit the idea germinated from a visit to Hastings, Michigan.

St. Joan’s Architect References
My completed novel “St. Joan’s Architect” won fourth place in the 2001 Heart of the West Contest held by the Utah Chapter of RWA. Of course, I’m hoping an agent or publisher will profess interest. With that aim in mind, I thought the list of the reference books might be a useful ploy. My husband [...]

Burning St. Joan – Again!
The nightmare included a pile of books under her feet. I turned away at the last minute—before the fire began to crackle. Actually I woke up. My oldest, award-winning book, “St. Joan’s Architect,” isn’t yet published. In a symbolic burning of my dreams for its publication and the resulting movie, I am presenting excerpts to [...]
