Reader Friday ~ Carolina Grace
Another book I picked up last week at the KenTen writers retreat was Carolina Grace by Regina Rudd Merrick. It’s the third book in her Carolina series and takes place five years after the second book, but it’s a stand-alone, and you don’t have to read the others to know what’s going on. But I figure once you read this …
More Dumb 9-1-1 Calls
Did you know we are over halfway through the year! Where did the first six months go??? I just finished the first round of edits for the first Natchez book, Standoff and they have been accepted.

I am halfway through my edits. Hope to be done by the time you are reading this!! And yes, there’s a LOT of red on the page. 🙂 Some authors prefer writing the first draft and really get excited about it. I get excited, but it’s the HARDEST work I’ve ever done! The whole time I’m drafting I keep telling …

But first the back cover copy: THINGS WERE GOING ALONG JUST FINE UNTIL THE MIRACLE FOULED THEM UP “Brother” Bob Bannister is content with his life and his itinerant healing ministry, until one night he finds that the woman who walks …
Scratching My Head
I had a great time last week visiting my family and I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day! Yesterday I posted a photo of our National Cemetery where boy scouts had placed over a thousand flags on graves. I love how Dr. Richard Mabry puts it: “Take a moment and remember the men and women who’ve made the ultimate …
