September Wrap Up
Three-quarters of the year is gone already. Days are getting shorter and shorter. Nights are getting cooler and cooler. September is the month when we say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn, and I can’t help but welcome the change. I love the colors of fall. I also love that I can open the window in the exercise room and let in that crisp morning air while I’m on the treadmill. Gets me moving! And speaking of moving, let’s get on with the September Wrap Up.

Christian Fiction Wednesday is Taking a Short Break
A quick note to say that Christian Fiction Wednesdays is going on a hiatus for a month or two. My writing and revising schedule, added to a personal workload, made me decide not to remindauthors to send me their information about new releases. These posts often take awhile to put together, so I’ve decided to give myself a break. As soon as the load lightens, I’ll be chasing down new release info to help you find more great books to read. I promise.
