Hello, dear friends. I have it on good authority there’s another book sale for you to take advantage of. Yep, John W. Howell, hero author of My GRL is having a SALE on the latest novel in his trilogy, His Revenge. Go ahead, run over and get yourself a copy if you’ve been procrastinating. I can wait. Or if you want to procrastinate just a little bit longer, maybe the following review will be the kick in your reading butt that you need.

Randy swore as hot water splashed against his fingers. He heard a muffled snort and turned around. Mary was braced against a kitchen chair, her right hand covering her mouth and nose in a vain attempt to restrain her laughter. Randy grimaced and then ran cold water over his burnt fingers.
“I’m sorry,” said Mary as she came over to the counter to resume…

Adult Coloring Books and Mandalas, A Warning For Christians
W.T.F? Scaremongering at its finest.
Last week I received a kind gift from a friend. She is one of the godliest people I know. My friend is smart, independent, and she loves the Lord. She is not naive. She is a professional, a leader. She is not a crunchy new-ager. I have known her for 15 years. We are super close.
The gift is a cool and popular new item that many of my other Christian friends have used especially during times of illness. They are popular with cancer patients who just sit all day in hospital beds, bored of Judge Judy.
They are sophisticated versions of what children daily do.
They are nostalgic.
They are adult coloring books.
I see them in Barnes and Noble. I see them in Michael’s Craft Store.
I have seen them in the Christian owned craft store Hobby Lobby.
They are just coloring books.
Innocent.
I have no problem with coloring…

Occupational Hazard
Check out the life of the Artist at Work, Ionia Martin, on J and I Publishing.
I’m not a lefty or a righty most of the time, I’m a bothy. When it comes to illustrations, however, I use my right hand exclusively, as it is the steadier of the two and just makes working with different mediums a lot easier.
The thing is, after a while, the finger (and yes, I mean The Finger) that the pens rest against begins to resemble mince. So what do I do about this? The most mature thing possible. I go and find bandages that will help protect the poor finger.
I refuse to walk around with an ugly-brown-plaster-finger because I, folks, am a lady and I must be fashionable at all times. Except on Sundays when I look as though I have fallen out of bed and into life, but that is another matter.
Either way, no plain band-aids for this kid. So here’s a current sampling of…

Thursday – A Little Personal – His Revenge Sale Coming Soon #RRBC #ASMSG
Normally I don’t do a lot of promotion of my books here on Fiction Favorites. Yes, the sidebar contains everything anyone needs to know about the content and sales links to His Revenge and My GRL. Now and then it is necessary to interrupt regular programming with a commercial message.
Today I’m giving all you buyers who are heading over to your favorite e-book outlet to buy His Revenge permission to STAND DOWN.
DO NOT BUY HIS REVENGE TODAY. You see I’m running a $0.99 cent sale on His Revenge Kindle edition beginning on March 3rd until March 6th including an Ereader News Today feature. Yes, that is $0.99 US and €0.99 in the UK. I’ll provide more detail, but for now, HOLD OFF BUYING HIS REVENGE until March 3rd (and then buy all you want after all it is only $0.0000107 per word)
If you are not familiar with His…

Creative Calm Series – New Lower Price
It is always good to see lower prices for good books. Check out the new look J and I Publishing site too.
Having carried out further research into the adult color book market and indicative pricing, J and I Publishing have decided to reduce the price of the Creative Calm series. We noticed that many adult color books were retailing close to $10 each on Amazon. Since we are proud of the creations that we offer, and firmly believe in the relaxation, mindfulness, and stress relief effects that can be achieved from the act of coloring, we wanted to make this series more accessible.
As a result of this we have lowered the price of each of the books in the Creative Calm series to retail for $6.99 on Amazon US and £4.86 on Amazon UK. We feel that even though this reduces the profit that will accrue to us, it will help bring our books to a wider audience that we hope will benefit greatly from them.
All books are…

A Legacy
A great post and an amazing book of original Artwork
My dad taught me to draw. In the beginning it was just doodles and random things. We would go out on nature walks and he would point out animal tracks and different patterns in the bark of trees, the shape of leaves and clouds in the sky that resembled animals. He taught me to create reflections by looking at water and watching the way it rippled outward as it was disturbed. He taught me to find beauty in the most barren of places and to appreciate the things we tend to overlook with an artist’s eye.
We would go home after these adventures and he would pull out a sketch book and show me how to transform the natural world into detailed pictures, and as I grew older, I took the things he taught me and made them my own. He was always telling me that there is no “wrong…

Happy Coloring.
Obsession
I have a confession. Maybe not a confession but an admission. Maybe neither. Maybe an inkling, nay a suspicion if you will, that I have an obsession. But pray tell, I hear you say, what is this obsession of which thee speak? Is it some sordid, sinful secret? Some base dissolute proclivity?
Raise thy heads from the gutter, I beseech thee. It is such an obsession the like of which one cannot imagine. In all the realms of the ancient world, such a mania has ne’er been seen.
Okay! Okay! I will shut up now and reveal all. Well not all, literally, but some small morsel.
I have a fascination with post-it notes. Those awesome stickies that come in all shapes and sizes. Oh how I am fascinated by them.
Here are just a few of my enviable collection. A collection that would have matched that of the Library of Alexandria, had post-its been part of its catalogue. Which between you and I, I believe they should have been, and possibly even were. How could they not have been.
