Enter the Goodreads Giveaway

Last weekend I attended the Faith, Hope & Love Christian Writers conference in Phoenix. While I have quite a few photos from the weekend, this one with Karen Witemeyer will remain my favorite. We laughed so hard. There is something about being around other authors, people who have stories rolling around in their heads, that energizes…

Pardon My Mistakes

I recently did an interview after my book, To Enchant a Lady’s Heart, won the Heart Award in the novella category. The interviewer asked me to share my funniest typo. Sometimes I’m asked questions that leave me scratching my head for a while. It can take time to dredge up an answer. But I had a…

A Head Full of Characters … and Confusion

Writers who write and publish on a regular basis are often juggling more than one story at a time.  Readers may wonder why, when they say to an author, “I loved it when Character A did XYZ,” that the author stares back at them with a deer-in-the-headlights look. That’s because the author is searching desperately…

Retreats and Miracles

I am home from the annual retreat up in Coeur d’Alene. It was wonderful as always. We were missing three of our precious members, and we always feel the absence when someone isn’t there. Still, it was an amazing time of laughter and prayer. Not all of us are writing these days. God has called…

Writing Up a Storm

On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd, revisions for my next biblical novel (tentatively titled Star of Wonder) landed in my inbox. Although the revisions weren’t extensive, the editors wanted a change in the opening part of the book that then had to be followed through the entire book. The change required me to cut all…

How do you “consume” books?

Recently, I posted a question in a Facebook Group as well as on my Facebook Page. I thought it would be fun to get your answers too. The question:How do you like to consume the books you read? Print? Audiobook? eBook reader? By far, most of my reading is done via audiobooks (at least 90%),…

The Beauty of Forgiveness

My first book for the Christian market (my 31st published book) was The Forgiving Hour (1999). The lessons I’d learned about forgiveness—mostly the hard way—were poured into my characters in that story. I consider that novel, perhaps more than any other I’ve written, to be proof of Romans 8:28. And we know that God causes…

The Law of Attraction

I love to share about writer friends’ books, and my friend Nancy Naigle has offered to give away a copy of her brand new release, The Law of Attraction, to one of my blog readers. It’s easy to enter. Just join (or confirm that you already subscribe to) my newsletter. Here’s a little about the…

National Idaho Day

Update: A winner’s name has been drawn and an email sent to the address. Earlier this year, Karen Witemeyer blogged elsewhere about National Texas Day. She thought, since all her books are set in Texas, that it would make a great post. And it did. I loved reading her list of fun facts. So I…
