Four New Releases in 2014
[image error]
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of being a featured author at the Pacific Northwest Church Librarians conference. Lauraine Snelling was the keynote speaker. Lauraine is a dear friend of mine, but our paths haven’t crossed in many years. It was so fun to see her.
During the lunch, they asked each of the authors to speak for a few minutes about their books and what releases were coming in the future. When I started listing my upcoming releases, I couldn’t help but think, No wonder I’m tired! It...

July Travels
My house is totally at sixes and sevens. I’ve started pulling out clothes to take on my trip next week to Atlanta where I’ll attend the RWA National Conference. Because of some pesky weight gain, it has been a major chore to find what to wear. Ugh! There’s a pile of electronic stuff and bookmarks and a ton of cosmetics and hair products that must be packed, too.
On Wednesday, July 17, in the afternoon, I’ll attend the Faith, Hope & Love meeting and awards presentation. Heart of Gold is a final...

Meet Diana from Beloved
It’s the characters in my novels who compel me to write. I am not overly analytical as a writer or as a reader. I’m an intuitive storyteller. The process happens mostly in my heart, gut, and subconscious. Since characters are the key for me, I thought it might be fun to write about some of my characters in a blog post series. So here goes with my first one.

Crystallized Tears
If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you already know my affection for the updated version of the classic devotional, Streams in the Desert, by LB Cowman & edited by James Reimann. (And by the way, the Kindle version is only $1.99 at the moment.)
The entries in this devotional have helped carry me through the most difficult times in the past decade. The book was first recommended to me by a dear friend who had lost her mother and it helped her through that time of grief. When by “chan...

“An Emotionally Powerful Story”
First, before I say anything else, congratulations to Cathie who won the $30 gift card in my drawing to celebrate the release of A Bride for All Seasons.

Movie Review: Quartet
None of us are getting any younger. We all know that, right? Maybe knowing that’s why I enjoy films like Quartet so much.
The four actors who play the quartet of the title are Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, and Pauline Collins. All of them are superb (no surprise there), as are many of the supporting players. Directed by Dustin Hoffman, the movie is set in a British home for retired musicians where the annual concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday is disrupted by the arrival of Je...
