Last week’s Mystery Question had to do with this mirror, and everyone had great answers. Here’s the story behind the mirror: The City of Natchez owns the Auburn Mansion, and one day the mayor of Natchez was in Vicksburg where he saw this mirror. Immediately, he said, “I have to have that for Auburn Mansion.” So he bought it. There …
Reader Friday ~ Jesus Calling
Blessings on this, Good Friday 2019! Today I’m featuring Jesus Calling by Sarah Young and giving away a copy of the devotional. I’ve been using Jesus Calling since October of 2009. Every day. And every day I’ve made a notation on that day’s page of what’s happening in my life. Here are a few notes I’ve written for April 19: …
Photos from Natchez & a Mystery
Last week I spent parts of three days researching for my next book set in Natchez. I toured antebellum homes where I learned their history. Sad to say the homes and many of the furnishing were built with slave labor. Look at the craftsmanship of this building and the furniture they made! It is A-Ma-Zing! This is a desk that …
Reader Friday ~ Deadly Christmas Duty
I’m in Natchez this week researching places to put bodies for my next book in the Natchez series. Here are a couple of photos I took while driving on a dirt road for miles and miles. I may have gotten a wee bit lost. But wouldn’t that second photo ( a cypress swamp) make a great place to hide a body? …
The Selfie Phenomenon
This week so far has been much calmer and so far no more vertigo! While I’m still plugging my new release, Justice Delivered, that too is slowing down and I’m turning my attention to the next book in the Natchez series. In fact, tomorrow I’m traveling to Natchez for research! Pictures to follow. Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: Which …
Reader Friday ~ Justice Delivered
Justice Delivered is here! It was supposed to be release day today, but Justice Delivered actually released Monday, April 1. (Ironic, no?) No matter, it’s out now and I love the cover! It wasn’t an easy book to write, maybe because I want it to make a difference in the world. I dedicated it to Advocates for Freedom, an organization in …
Release Week~ And Dumb Ideas
This post almost didn’t get written on time. Monday morning I woke up with my room reeling. Or maybe it was me reeling. No matter, I could not walk without holding on to something, and even then I felt as though I was going to fall. A bad case of Vertigo is TERRIBLE! I still had a hundred pages to …
Reader Friday ~ The Ruby Ring
I just finished The Ruby Ring, Battle for an English Bible by Karen Rees last night and am now looking forward to reading the second book in the series, A Tale of Souls: The Church in Turmoil, The Reformation, the Family Divided, book 2! The Ruby Ring is a 2014 National Indie Excellence Award Finalist. Here’s the back cover copy: THE …
And These People Walk Among Us
Here it is almost April 1st! Deadline approaches. Guess what? I’m still working on the book that’s due! So I’ll get right to last week’s crime: Three of the following crimes are true. I made up one. Which did I make up? Leave your guess in the comments. An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a …
Reader Friday ~ Unintended Target
I’ve been in a couple of anthologies with D. L. Wood, who is the author of Unintended Target, and I had bought her book. But I hadn’t gotten around to reading it. Well, that was a mistake. D. L. is a great writer and this book held my attention and left me wanting more…enough so, I’ve bought the second book …
