We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.
Favorite Candy: I inherited a sweet tooth from my mom. No doubt about it. So it is hard to pick a favorite. But I think I’ll go with Hershey Nuggets (the one without the almonds). They are just the right size to put in my mouth and press my tongue toward the roof of my mouth while the milk chocolate melts away. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.


Favorite Sport (to watch or play): I was never particularly athletic, and I don’t spend a lot of time watching sports in person or on TV. But I do love the rodeo. Cowboys in boots and Stetsons. Horses. Need I say more?
Favorite Scripture Verse: This is far more difficult than choosing my favorite candy . . . and that was tough! Seriously as soon as I name one, ten more favorites come to mind. So, with the understanding that this is only one of dozens upon dozens favorites (for a variety of reasons), I will share the verse that God used as I was about to begin writing The Forgiving Hour, the book that would be my first Christian fiction release.
Isaiah 42:16 (NASB95)
“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will make darkness into light before them
And rugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone.”

Favourite Candy: Turtles. I love the combination of chocolate, caramel and nuts. With a cup of tea, it's my perfect treat.
Favourite Sport (to watch or play): Rodeos are entertaining. Or is it the cowboys that are entertaining? We used to have several horses, and my kids entered local rodeos. Once, my 12-year-old son won a barrel racing competition because he was the only one who didn't knock over any barrels. He wasn't the fastest, but he was the most accurate. The men in the competition were not happy.
My current favourite sport is marathons. One of my daughters runs marathons all over the country, and I like to keep up with her progress.
You can see that I'm not more of a watcher than a doer when it comes to sports.
