A Cover Story
When it comes to book cover art, I have been so very fortunate, especially in my years of writing for the Christian book market. This doesn’t mean that every cover has arrived in my email box already perfect. Sometimes it takes several go-rounds before a cover is what readers will find on the shelves. But here’s one, Ribbon of Years, that didn’t need anything changed after I saw it. It gives the feel of the book, including the time setting (1950′s) when Miriam was the age of the woman on the...

January Wrap Up
Can you believe we’ve arrived at the last day of January already? Boy, the time sure goes by fast!
I decided I would do a wrap up blog post each month on a few topics. So here we go for January 2014:
Books:
My reading year has started off with a bang. I’ve completed ten books this month. (Not counting five novels I read for a contest which were of the type I refuse to even list on Goodreads as having read them. Poor prose. Objectionable language and gratuitous scenes. No thanks.) I don’t expect...

cover sneak peek: a wish & a prayer
I’ve got an ebook-only novella release that should be available within the next couple of weeks. It’s a whimsical historical romance that involves an angel helping two people find each other. A Wish & a Prayer is pure fantasy, and it was a lot of fun to write, from the opening line right through to the last line.
Have you read and enjoyed Debbie Macomber’s books that feature three angels (Shirley, Goodness and Mercy) who come to earth during the Christmas season? If so, then I think you’ll hav...

deadlines: what they do to writers
As I was scrambling to finish my November 2014 release, the first in a new contemporary romance series, so I could send it to my editor, a writer friend forwarded a link to a blog post by Kristen Lamb called You Know You’re a Writer When …
The whole post is good, funny when exaggerated, a little painful because it’s scary-close to accurate, but this one particularly hit me between the eyes:
You Know You’re a Writer …
When it comes to revisions, you actually contemplate hanging one of those cheap...
