March Musings 2009

I'll be doing a blog interview at A Fiction-Filled Life on March 25th. Stop by and leave a comment to enter your name in a drawing for a copy of A Test of Faith!

I had a great time doing the interview on Novel Journey earlier this month. If you missed it, you can read all about it here. Congratulations to Patricia and Sheila, who won copies of A Test of Faith!

COUNTDOWN TO MOUNT HERMON

Only a couple more weeks until the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference begins. I can hardly wait! Check back during the first week of April. I'll try to post updates and photos of some of my writer buddies while I'm there.

ARE YOU HOOKED ON CROCHET?

If so, welcome to the club! My grandmother started teaching me to crochet when I was five years old, and I've been a crochet fanatic ever since. I just learned that March is National Crochet Month, so this seemed like a good time to promote one of my favorite hobbies. Lately, I've been making baby blankets for a crisis pregnancy center and lapghans for hospitalized veterans. Do you have a favorite way to share your crochet habit with others? Send me a message from the Contact page and tell me about it!

Here's a photo of one of my latest projects, a blanket for my new granddaughter.

A Test of Faith by Carol Cox

Book #3 in Mystery and the Minister's Wife is now available in paperback

When a stolen car crashes through the front window of the Country Diner, Kate Hanlon vows to find the driver, who has vanished into the night. But when Kate's wallet is discovered in the front seat of the car, she has a whole new reason to find the culprit. How did it end up there? No one in town seems to believe that the pastor's wife isn't a car thief, and with their whole ministry on the line, Kate sets out in search of answers. Meanwhile, Paul breaks his ankle in a church basketball game and Kate finds herself caring for her ailing husband. And the diner's owner Loretta isn't talking about when–or if–the restaurant will reopen. Is this all simply a test of faith, or is this a sign that the Hanlons' time in Copper Mill is coming to a close?

 

 

UPCOMING INTERVIEWS

I'll be doing an online interview on March 3rd on Novel Journey, where I'll be giving away a couple of books. Be sure to stop by and leave a comment so you can be entered!

Check back for details on other interviews later in the month.

ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?

With the help of my daughter-in-law, I took the plunge into the social networking scene a couple of months ago, and I have to admit I love it. What a great way to reconnect and stay in touch! And if you love Christian fiction, you'll love the Chapter-a-Week Book Club on Facebook. Become a fan and read weekly excerpts from recent Christian fiction releases.

LOOKING AHEAD. . .

One of my favorite events of the year is fast approaching–the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. I'm counting the days until I fly off to northern California to spend time in the redwoods on Mount Hermon's beautiful campus; reconnect with writer, editor, and agent friends; and talk about writing for days on end. Sheer bliss!
