Book Talk: Janine Rosche
Book Talk: Janine Rosche I first met Janine at ACFW in Grapevine, Texas. She is effervescent and asked if we could go for a walk one morning.

Headshots and Deep Thoughts
One of the joys of the writing life is getting headshots. Really. I mean who doesn’t love getting their photo snapped, over and over, and over and over. I really don’t mind, but I was surprised to realize it had been four and a half years since my last headshots were taken. My time flies when you’re stuck at home! ... Read More
