Rainbows
I shopped for a card to send a struggling loved one the other day, and found one that was perfect. (A real ‘hallmark moment’!) On the front it said: REMEMBER THAT AFTER THE RAIN THERE IS A RAINBOW. On the inside, it said, AND IF I HAVE TO, I’LL COME OVER AND PAINT THE DARN THING ON YOUR CEILING! I …
Southern Kentucky Book Fest
Southern Kentucky Book Fest was terrific year. I wish I’d gotten pictures of all the authors. I sat on a romance writers panel with Jan Watson (author of Sweetwater Run), Teresa Medeiros (author of Some Like it Wild) and Trish Milburn (The Family Man). Plus, I had a delightful time talking to David Pierce (author of Don’t Let Me Go) …

UNFILTERED at Quad-Cities Christian Writers Conference
Every so often, I forget myself and say something in public that draws attention. Like the other day, for instance. I went into a restaurant in which I intend to set a scene in my latest book. I studied the furnishings and decorations and the placement of the kitchen and serving areas. No doubt my behavior did look a little …
Happy Resurrection Day!
When I woke this morning, there was a Bible verse running through my mind. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Cor 5:17) I know that’s true all the time, but there’s a special feeling of newness on Easter morning, isn’t there? It’s a day of freshness …
Sing Along
Going to the gym is not among my favorite activities. It’s not quite as far down on my list as having a root canal and shopping for bathing suits, but it’s not something I look forward to. Still, I force myself, because I’ve reached the season of life where I can see the Great Migration looming on the horizon, and …
