In Search of a Title

Authors and editors and marketing departments do not always agree on what makes a good title. Does that surprise anyone?

Get a few authors together and eventually someone will make a joke about writing a book called My Secret Baby Cowboy’s Vampire Pirate Bride in Amish Country. (What do you think? Shall I write it?)

I have an excellent record for titling my WIPs and keeping said titles right through to publication. It isn’t often that I’m asked to change them, but it happens. For the story I’m...

Celebrating the Release of A Bride for All Seasons

It’s just about here! A Bride for All Seasons officially releases on June 18 (the day the ebooks will arrive on your readers), although physical copies of the book are beginning to show up in stores already.

In celebration of this new release, I’m doing another giveaway. Only this time, instead of a copy of the book, I’m giving away a bookstore gift card. You have three ways to enter, and if you want three chances, enter all three ways. It’s fairly easy to do.

I hope you’ll read A Bride for All...

What’s Your Bible Study for the Summer?

I love reading and studying the Bible. A Christian needs to read/study God’s word daily if he or she wants to live abundantly as we are called to do.

But like most folks, I do better with a plan. If I just think I will get to reading my Bible sometime, days will fly by in all the busyness of life, and suddenly I will realize I’m starving to death in my spirit. I need to commit myself to a study and/or to a reading plan.

I have completed four of the Bible Study Fellowship studies (Matthew, Isaia...

Running out of time…

After two months of protective custody, bodyguard Arianna Jackson is days away from testifying at a murder trial when the unthinkable happens. Her Alaska safe house is atta...

So Happy I Could . . .

Okay, did you catch my meaning? Snoopy-dancing is called for. Right now. Go ahead and join me. Nobody’s looking.

I am feeling really, really, really happy! About an hour ago, I finished the revisions of my 69th release (Jan. 2014), A Promise Kept, and the document went winging its way through cyberspace to land on my editor’s computer.

Being done with revisions is a good feeling, in and of itself. However, I feel extra good because I love this story so much. Often, by the time I’m done with r...

Late to the “24″ Party

Yes, I am aware this is 2013. I can be a bit slow at times, although not usually as long as twelve years.

I recently discovered the television show, 24. Not that I didn’t know about it before this. I have a number of friends who were talking about it back in 2001 when the show debuted on Fox. Not quite sure why I didn’t try it back then. It must have aired at a time when I had another show to watch. Maybe two shows to watch once I had a DVR. I never saw a single episode of it from 2001 until i...

Countdowns & Deadlines

It’s almost here! The release of A Bride for All Seasons. In eleven days or less, the book should start shipping from online warehouses and be on bookstore shelves. I am so excited about this release. I love this book. I love all four mail-order bride stories in it, and I believe with all of my heart that readers are going to adore the book too.

I am still hard at work on the revisions of A Promise Kept. As mentioned in an earlier post, I am loving all of the new layering I’m doing in this rou...

Christian Fiction Wednesday

I love to help readers find books by the many wonderful Christian fiction writers I’ve come to know through the years. I can’t read them all, but I can at least tell others when a new book is out. Here’s the latest offering.

WP Plugin Review: MyBookTable

If you are an author and you use the WordPress platform for your web site, as so many do these days (I’m so glad I made the switch), I’d like to recommend the fabulous new plugin, MyBookTable.

MyBookTable creates your book pages and provides buy buttons to many different online retailers such as Amazon, B&N, Audible, CBD, and more, making it easier for your readers to find and purchase your books.The folks at Author Media are behind it (I am not one of their clients but their blog is something...
