Well, I can finally announce that Justice Buried is a finalist for the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) Carol award! The winner will be announced at the gala at the ACFW conference September 23, but no matter the outcome, being a finalist is already winning. If the award is in God’s plan for me, then good! But if not, good, too. …
Reader Friday – Turtle Box Memories
As promised, here are a few more photos from Natchez. This one was taken as I walked along the river bluff… This is Bowie’s Tavern, named after Jim Bowie…The 2nd floor overlooks the river and Brooke and Luke will watch a sunset much like the one above when they eat dinner there on one of their fun dates. Now onto …
You Said What?
Here’s the photo I talked about in my blog last week of the sun streaming through the stained-glass window at the first Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It was taken by Stacey Robbins Hicks. And I finally got to Natchez!! Unfortunately, the power cord to my computer didn’t make it, so the blog is late! But here’s a photo I took of Windsor …
Reader Friday – Carolina Dream
[tweet_dis_img inject=”Can an inheritance unlock the future for Sarah Crawford?”][/tweet_dis_img] As this posts, I’m driving back from my research trip in Natchez. Photos to follow! My plans were thwarted once again by Mother Nature and that disturbance in the Gulf. Maybe next week… I discovered Carolina Dream last year when I met the author, Regina Rudd Merrick, at a writer’s retreat. I …
Too Dumb to Be True
This past week has been interesting…Montgomery Bell State Park was wonderful. The photo to the left is of a church built in 1810 and is the birthplace of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. When I entered the old church, I experienced such peace. The windows are stained glass and rays of the sun were reflected on the wooden pews. Unfortunately, I …
Reader Friday – Leaving Oxford
Last week before I left for Montgomery Bell State Park, I had the opportunity to read Janet W. Ferguson’s novel, Leaving Oxford. I’d been anxious to read it since our time together in Jackson, Mississippi when four of us brainstormed our next books. What a treat it was! Set near my old stomping grounds of Oxford, Mississippi and much of it set …
More Criminals Who Want to Get Caught
The next couple of weeks will be super busy with a remodel going on at my house. (photos to follow – before and after) Plus I’m teaching at the TenKen Writer’s Retreat this week and taking that trip to Natchez the next! So, I’m going back to the criminals who want to get caught stories. 🙂 But first last week’s Mystery …
Reader Friday – Her Place In Time
This week I cleaned out my pottery room and chunked over 500 pounds of “stuff” and my back and legs are telling me about it! Why? do you ask? Well, I’m getting ready to remodel both of my bathrooms and hopefully get more room, and I needed a place to put more ‘stuff’. lol. It’ll take about a month and since …
Do Some Crooks Want To Get Caught?
Sorry, no Natchez photos this week. For those who missed my post Friday, Alberto sort of messed with my plans. On the last date I could switch my hotel stay without paying for a night I might not use, I checked the weather for Natchez. Alberto was coming ashore and all day rain and thunderstorms were predicted for the two days …
Reader Friday – Forgiving Natalie
[tweet_dis_img inject=”Leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for a book from my personal library! #bookgiveaway”][/tweet_dis_img] Well, I didn’t get to go to Natchez this week because Alberto threatened to leave thunderstorms in his wake up the western side of Mississippi. Of course, it didn’t actually happen, but by the time it didn’t, I’d already moved my trip to …
