CRAYOLA CHRISTIANS

Much is being talked about diversity. Whether you're diverse because of your color, ethnicity, and even now you can be diverse about your sexual gender. Here's the issue. There is no diversity with God. He has no colors in his Crayola box when He sees us. A picture is worth a thousand words... don't you agree? Our brothers and sisters in Christ are just that - family. When we stand together and pray, or praise, it should not matter if our skin is different. It's our souls tha...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #22

Weekend Writing Warriors is a fun exercise where authors are challenged (and sometimes it IS a challenge) to post eight to ten lines from their current W.I.P. I'm sharing from my Jane Austen Fan Fiction Regency Romance (say that five times fast), KATHERINE.

Continuing on with Lord George Kerr, Madame Reauchard and the two ruffians who burst into her boudoir.  We ended last week with.. "Be quiet, slut." The larger man backhanded her and she stumbled to one side...

Still semi-reclined George...

REVIEW - CAROLINE

Below is a lovely, thoughtful four star review from the blogger: FROM PEMBERLEY TO MILTON

Hello everyone,

Did you ever think about what was Miss Bingley’s reaction to Darcy’s engagement? Can you imagine what it must have been like to realise everything she fought for during the last years of her life had been for nothing? What about her future? Did she ever get married? Or ended up an old spinster? Did she let go of her feelings of superiority towards the Bennet sisters?

Sue Barr clearly thought...

Tidbit Tuesday ~ March 14

Katherine Bennet, better known as Kitty to friends and family, ambled along the road between Lucas Lodge and Longbourn. She’d been visiting with her very best friend, Maria, and was now on her way home before the sun set and it became too dark to see the road.

Lucas Lodge was such respite after the chaos that signified life at Longbourn. With three of five daughters married, everyone assumed Mrs. Bingley would calm down and relax knowing her daughters were secure. Well, at least two of the dau...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #21

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. Most of you are experienced in this exercise, but for those of you first timer's, here's the run-down.

You are allowed to post eight to ten lines of a work-in-progress, or a published work. I try to post from a WIP, but at times I post from published works because I fall in love with some scenes and just want to share - know what I mean?
Anyway - today is from a WIP. We've been introduced to Lord George Kerr and I'm continuing on with the previous scene. Ma...

#1LineWed ~ Mar 8

 Today I'm sharing my #1LineWed from my #WIP GEORGIANA. The words in bold were used in the Twitter post. The added instructions from the moderator were that you could use the word 'cross' in any form.

“You say he’s been making enquiries about Miss Darcy?”

Maxwell Kerr, the fourth Duke of Adborough, was seated in a very comfortable chair at White’s, a snifter of brandy in his hand. Across from him, sprawled out in his usual, careless way was his newly married brother, Lord George Kerr.

“Mmm…...

Monday Motivation ~ Mar 6

God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Numbers 23:19This one line in the Bible is something every believer should cling to. By His own word, God informs us that because He is not man, He does not lie.Not ever.Take some time, savor that thought and then read Psalm 103:12

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions (sin) from us.

What does that mean?How far is the east from the west? Infinite. He takes our sin and f...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #20

Hello - Welcome to my WeWriWa posting for March 4/5. What a crazy week. I've been working on two stories simultaneously, as they overlap. I'll deviate from the twining of these two story lines in a few more chapters.

What was I thinking, writing a series that is so interconnected? Remind me to drop a bowling ball on my foot the next time I attempt this. Much less painful...

Anyway. Today's eight-ten line foray is a continuation from the scene with Lord George and the lovely Madame - Evangeline....

#1LineWed - Mar 1

Trying to capture a scene in 140 characters, including the hashtag is HARD, so I've decided to give you the balance of the scene here.

This is from my next #JAFF inspired romance. This scene will be in it because it's fairly pivotal for a plot line and for all you Elizabeth/Darcy fans - you'll get mushy from this scene.

Elizabeth Darcy entered the cozy study, arguably the smallest room at Pemberley yet it could easily contain at least three rooms from Longbourn. She approached her husband,...
