Cast My Cares | Finding Favour

This war’s not what I would have chosen But you see the future no one knows yet And you’re still good when I can’t See the working of your hands You’re holding it all

I’m okay with being single

So I wrote this book. And it kind of initiated some conversations that I didn’t expect. See, when I wrote Finding Fireflies, I really expected to get to have a lot of conversations about human trafficking, and I certainly did. I still am. There’s a lot of education that still needs to be done in that […]

Living like it’s 1994!

Any other children of the 80s out there? Growing up in the 1980s and 1990s was actually a really nice experience, for the most part. As a country, it felt like we’d gotten a second wind–another chance to be a good country instead of just a great one. But something really awesome and fantastic and […]

Those bronze stars aren’t just for decoration

Here’s an interesting tidbit of information. If you’re walking around the South Carolina State House and you notice random bronze stars on the outside of the building, the architect didn’t make a mistake. And, no, they weren’t decorating either. Every bronze star you see on the exterior of the South Carolina State House is where… More Those bronze stars aren’t just for decoration

A British pub with a bluegrass band

Sparky and I got into Columbia with very little trouble. Yeah, we managed to hit rush hour in Atlanta. Sure, we managed to hit rush out in Columbia too. But Sparky’s a pretty decent driver. So it was all good. We got checked into our hotel and touched base with Ethan, an old friend who’s… More A British pub with a bluegrass band

Tasty biscuits and cold matcha lattes

Brunch and tea time in Atlanta today was wondrous! We decided on the Flying Biscuit in Brookhaven for breakfast/lunch, and then afterward we would head to Zen Tea before delivering The Nomad to the airport to catch her flight. If you’re ever in Atlanta, you absolutely must have breakfast at the Flying Biscuit. It’s really… More Tasty biscuits and cold matcha lattes

Arrival in Atlanta

Good morning from sunny Atlanta, Georgia! We arrived safely yesterday evening, but the three of us were so exhausted we just crashed in our super nice hotel room. We’d eaten a big, late lunch outside of Birmingham–a pretty tasty place called Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ Restaurant in Jasper. Very, very yummy. Birmingham traffic wasn’t as… More Arrival in Atlanta

I think I’m quite ready for another adventure

Barely a month ago I left for a two-week long excursion in England and Scotland, and today I leave on another adventure. This one’s a little different. Firstly, I’m not leaving the country. But I am departing my beloved Midwest for the South, which is pretty much the same thing. ;-) Secondly, I won’t even be… More I think I’m quite ready for another adventure

Hey, it’s June! How did that happen?

Sorry for the hiatus, friends and readers and reader-friends! Life sort of went crazy while I was in England and had to be taken care of when I got home. Plus I had to change hats for a little while from fiction author to fiction editor and book designer, which is some of what I… More Hey, it’s June! How did that happen?

Our first book release party for the fourth Crosshair title!

So this happened yesterday! The release party for the book that two of my friends (and fellow Crosshair Press founders) co-authored! Lots and lots of people came, and we had a great time. So now the hard work begins–promoting and marketing. What’s really cool is that even though Kenan is the fourth Crosshair Press title,…
