Christian Fiction Wednesday 04-16-14

I know many, many authors of Christian fiction, and while I don’t have time to keep up with reading all of their books, I love to tell readers about them.

Those days are long gone. Whether an author is published by a traditional publish...

It was an IBM clone. No hard drive. Two 7.25″ floppy drives. A monochrome display (mine was black with orange type). Along with the computer, I got a daisy-wheel printer that used continuous form paper; you had to separate the pages and the little feed strips after printing....
