Merry Christmas to one and all

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)

Christmas with the Chosen

On Sunday, I went to see Christmas with the Chosen: The Messengers in a local theater. Oh my. What can I say? If at all possible, see it in theaters on the big screen with surround sound. You will not be sorry. Its special theater run ends on the 10th.

The show is two hours long. Amazing music and brief inspirational vignettes from the musicians and a few of The Chosen actors fill more than an hour, all of it so worth hearing and seeing. The special Christmas episode is about 45 minutes long,...

Book Drunk

Do you know what it’s like to be “book drunk?” That feeling when you finish a book and all you want to do is crawl back into it and stay there awhile longer, even though the last page is read. The inability to move on, in real life or into another book. That’s what I mean when I say “Book drunk.”

And that was definitely my condition when I finished reading Patti Callihan’s Once Upon a Wardrobe. Here’s the blurb:

“Where did Narnia come from?”

The answer will change everything.

Spotlight on Nancy Naigle

About Nancy: Born and raised in Virginia, Nancy grew up on the beach, but now calls the Blue Ridge Mountains home. While enjoying a career in the financial industry she had no idea that a single goal to write one book to help one girl through one bad day would result in a new career. In 2014, she took an early retirement to focus on sharing positive messages through her novels. A USA Today Bestselling author, Nancy writes small-town love stories filled with hope, new beginnings and a sense o...

Goodreads Reading Challenge

One of my favorite things about Goodreads is the ability to track my reading every year. Using Goodreads helps me know the books I’ve read and makes sure I write reviews of them. While it is nice to share that with others, I do this for me. I also love seeing the books that my friends have read in my feed. I’ve found some great books that way.

Before I continue, do you follow me on Goodreads? If not, I hope you’ll join me there and see what I’ve read and what I’m reading.

I don’t have a lo...

Spotlight on Beth K. Vogt

About Beth:  Abandoning the dream of a regular schedule, Beth K. Vogt writes fiction in between the real-life interruptions. She believes God’s best is often behind the door marked “Never.” Beth writes contemporary stories about complicated relationships that end with hope, but not necessarily with everything tied up in a nice, neat bow. Kind of like real life, yes?

Cover Reveal Coming Soon

I hoped to be able to share the title, cover, and blurb for my next book in the November issue of Robin’s Notes (my monthly newsletter), but the timing still isn’t right. A couple of things need to fall into place first, but they should happen later in November, so I plan to send out a special edition of the newsletter at that time.

I am so eager to share this gorgeous cover with everyone. I’m even more excited to share the story with you, but that won’t happen until next June. This book went...

Spotlight on Katherine Reay

About Katherine: Katherine Reay is an avid reader — and alludes to tons of books within her stories — and she loves studying history, writing, and spending time with her kids who have now either gone off to college or off into the world. On a really good day, you won’t find her at home outside Chicago, but fly-fishing in Montana — she loves that too. Katherine writes contemporary books saturated with a love for literature and split-time fiction that dips into the past as well.
