As you read this, I will be learning how to catch a murderer at the Writer’s Police Academy. This year it’s called Murder Con. 🙂 I’ll share details Tuesday! I mostly read inspirational fiction, but because there aren’t too many inspirational cozies, I generally read the ones in general fiction, especially since most of them are clean.

More Zany Insurance Scams
We had a great time brainstorming our stories, and I came away with a good foundation for my story! Pictured from left to right are Pam Hillman, me, Stephenia McGee, and Janet Ferguson. I love these three ladies’ books! If you haven’t read them, you need to check them out. I think all three are running specials on their books! …
Reader Friday ~ Anne of Green Gables
Sorry this is late. It didn’t publish for some reason and I’m just now catching it. I know, I should have read Anne of Green Gables when I was a kid, but for some reason, I missed L. M. Montgomery’s series. But now I have them downloaded on my Kindle and will soon have them all read. A friend loaned …
Insurance Scams You Won’t Believe
When you read this I will be in the woods east of Jackson, MS, working on my next Natchez Trace book. Wish you all were here! Oh! Guess what?? Our Summer of Suspense may actually make the USA Today Best Seller list! Thank you all who have preordered! If you know anyone who loves Suspense who hasn’t preordered, I would …
Reader Friday – The White City
Last week I read The White City by Grace Hitchcock and loved it. Which surprised me since I don’t really like to read historical fiction. I would classify this as historical romantic suspense. Here’s the back cover copy: Mysterious Disappearances Taint the Chicago World’s Fair Step into True Colors — a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime …
More Zany Crimes
Well, Hurricane Barry postponed my brainstorming trip this weekend. I was supposed to meet with four great authors, Pam Hillman, Janet Ferguson, and Stephenia McGee to work out the plot of my next book, but since where we were meeting was in the middle of nowhere and the possibility of being without power was not appealing, we decided to wait …
Reader Friday ~ Unintended Witness
Unintended Witness, D. L. Wood’s won the 2019 Illumination Book Awards Gold Medal Winner for General Christian Fiction. It’s the second book in the Unintended Series and was every bit as good as the first book, Unintended Target! I reviewed that book earlier this year and you can read that review here. Here’s the back cover copy, and then my …
What Did You Say Happened?
I’m so excited that Justice Delivered has been chosen by K-Love radio as one of its 13 best Beach reads of 2019! And it’s the first one on the list!! You can read about all thirteen here. Guess what?? I’m trying something I’ve never tried before ~ working on two books at one time. I plan to work on the cozy …
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR NATION
This was posted on the ACFW blog loop by Martha Rogers and expresses my sentiments exactly. “For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.” Deuteronomy 4:31 NIV As we began another year of campaigning, we look for …
Lying to the Police…
It’s the 4th of July week! And now I can say the year is definitely half over! Forgive my bad math a couple of weeks ago. Never was one of my strong subjects, in fact, the only “D” I ever made was in math. The sale on Justice Delivered ended Sunday night, but guess what?? The ebook of Justice Betrayed, …
