This week I’ll be near Jackson, Mississippi, for an author get-together at the Mendenhall Library and then on to Natchez for research on the new series that will be set there. It’s going to be a busy week! Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. It’s 1985 and a man and his wife took up farming. An arrogant attitude and two …
Reader Friday – Life on the Porcelain Edge
This past week I read Life on the Porcelain Edge by C. E. Hilbert and loved it! Here’s the back cover copy: Tessa Tarrington’s life is swirling out of control. No job. No apartment. Sick Dad…And she’s back in high school! Teaching at her Gibson’s Run alma mater would be tolerable, except she’s sharing purgatory with her mortal enemy, Ryland …
Murder or Justifiable Homicide?
Last week this time I was on a plane to Florida to see my great grand Aliyah! The drawing is one that a friend did for me. I thought the cowgirl outfit was perfect since I’m sure she’ll be riding horses before she can walk. 🙂 When I left Memphis it was in the 40s and when I got off the …
Good Friday Blessings
[tweet_dis_img inject=”…and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved. Matthew 17:23 “][/tweet_dis_img] Even as I go about my routine, Good Friday has always been a somber day as I think about what Christ did for me. But without Good Friday, there would be no Easter. “And let us run …
From the Police Blotter
[tweet_dis_img inject=”How hard is it to write a blog with a cat in your lap?”][/tweet_dis_img] What we won’t do for our pets. I’m trying to write this blog, but Suzy wants to take a nap in my lap, so I’m sitting here all twisted sideways so I won’t disturb her. 🙂 Now back to the blog… I’m taking a break …
Reader Friday – Bloomed to Die
I guess you could say I’ve spent the last four days Spring Cleaning after a week of cleaning my office and filling six trash bags and one huge leaf bag, I’m almost done. Monday morning, you couldn’t even see the table and I had so much piled on my computer desk, you could barely see the laptop! Two back to …
Mystery Question
This past weekend my Byhalia Christian Writers group put on a writing conference just outside of Memphis and we had 130 attendees! That is amazing for our little group of about fifteen writers. Brandilyn Collins was our keynote speaker, and she was FANTASTIC! And on Friday Hallee Bridgeman gave a workshop on Indie Publishing that was so informative. So writers, …
Reader Friday – Things I Never Told You
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and I think we all celebrate the day even if we’re not Irish. I left Suzy home with a sitter and will be celebrating at the Mid-South Christian Writers Conference this weekend, so I may be a little slow in responding to comments until Sunday. 🙂 Earlier this week I read Things I Never Told You by …
Was It Murder or Suicide?
One of the neat things I get to do as an author is to appear on TV occasionally. And yesterday was one of those days. I was on Alive@Nine on WREG in Memphis with Johnnie Alexander, my critique partner and author of The Misty Willow Series and Where Treasures Hide. We were promoting the Mid-South Christian Writer’s Conference. It’s a …
Reader Friday – Beneath The Surface
My first week after turning in Justice Delivered to my editor has been hectic catching up on everything I let slide…like entering my checks into my computer and the Scavenger Hunt last week and cleaning house. I really did mean to clean house…and I did take a stab at my office. (so I could get in it) Anyway, on to this week’s …
