Two More Books Coming to Audio
Readers of my blog and social media certainly know that I love audiobooks so no one would be surprised that I want my own books to be available in that medium. Thus I am happy to share that two more of my novels are currently in production.
Whispers From Yesterday, winner of the 2000 Christy Award, was available in audio for a brief time, but then it went away. I’m delighted that Vision Audiobooks is giving it new life. The book is narrated by Leonor Woodworth, and the clip I heard made m...

Ordinary Women of the Bible Blog Hop
I was delighted—and a little intimidated—when I was asked to write one of the books in the Ordinary Women of the Bible series from Guideposts. I had written over 80 books at that time, but I’d never tackled biblical fiction before.
Now I can say without hesitation that writing Rich Beyond Measure: Zlata’s Story was one of the best experiences of my writing career. Every day was spent reading through the gospel accounts and digging deep into books that taught me about C...

Three Christmas Novellas
It’s that time of year when Christmas books begin arriving on bookstore shelves. While I don’t have a brand new Christmas story to share with you, I do have some repackaged Christmas stories. All three are novellas, so perfect for the crazy holiday season. And each of them is available for the Kindle and Kindle app for only $1.99.
A Cloud Mountain Christmas is included in An Idaho Christmas but is now available on its own. The setting is 2007 in a ski town in the mountains of Idaho.

See the Lion of Judah
Once upon a time someone said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” I was unable to confirm who that someone was. Apparently the quote has been attributed to a number of different people (including Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and C.S. Lewis), but my research couldn’t confirm anyone definitely.
No matter who said it the first time, I believe it is true. Comparison is the thief of joy.
On Tuesday night, I participated on a panel of multi-published, multi-award-winning authors, answering a n...

Corporate Worship
The entry for September 19 in New Morning Mercies begins with this:
Corporate worship is designed to make you thankful, not just for possessions and accomplishments, but for what you’ve been given in Christ.
A little further down, talking about what happened to him (the author) while in worship in a service, he said:
I needed to be not just thankful for the ease, comforts, and accomplishments of life, but thankful for things of eternal value. I needed to see, understand, cry out for, an...
