Can you believe it’s the first of March??? I can’t. I’m still working on the first book in the Natchez Park Rangers series. With the first draft finished, I’m letting it percolate a bit while I work on 1. My taxes (Can you believe I waited until last week to put five months of checks into my computer???) and 2. …
Reader Friday – Summer of Suspense
I am so excited to tell you about an anthology I’m a part of. It’s called Summer of Suspense and there will be 16 authors taking part. We’re all over the board when it comes to topics so you’re in for a treat. The common thread in every story is about a secret… You can pre-order it on Apple and Nook …
The Bahamas and Other Things
The Bahamas were fabulous. The photo is of the moon setting in Nassau the first morning out. It looks like the sun, doesn’t it? The next night it was huge as it rose on the horizon and even reddish in color. My iPhone didn’t capture the red that well, but it’s still pretty! As I write this I’ve just returned …
Reader Friday ~ Convenient Lies
[tweet_dis_img inject=” taut, fast-paced suspense #amazingread”][/tweet_dis_img] Good morning! Today I’m reviewing Convenient Lies by Robin Patchen and let me tell you, don’t start this book thinking you’ll read a couple of chapters and lay it down and go to sleep. No siree. I started it at 8 p.m. and at 11:30, I’m thinking, I really need to go to sleep…just …
Getting To Know You…
Hi everyone! When you read this I’ll probably be looking for a botanical garden in Nassau. 🙂 But it’s not exactly a vacation…I’m meeting with editors from Hallmark, Harlequin, and Netflix…we’ll see what God has in store… Now for last week’s Mystery Question: Below are four blotter reports. I made up one and the rest are true. Can you guess …

Crazy Blotter Reports
Just thought I’d tease you a little. 🙂 This is one of three or four buttercups (I know, everyone else calls them daffodils but I’ve always called them buttercups.) growing alongside the road where I walk. Quince is also blooming as is a cherry tree in the area. Spring cannot be far behind! Now for last week’s Mystery Question: For …
Happy February!
Hello everyone! I’m baaaaccck…sort of. Before you ask, no the book isn’t finished, but my editor gave me a reprieve and an extension! One day I’ll do a blog post on what you do when your story won’t talk to you. 🙂 I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and you’ve thawed out from last week’s Polar Vortex! …
But God…
First I want to wish everyone a very Happy 2019! And I want to thank you for supporting me and buying my books. As I thought about the coming year, I looked back over my Jesus Calling journal. Since October 9, 2009, I’ve read the devotional in Jesus Calling every day and made notes in the journal. In 2010 my entry …
Food and Local Color from Israel
I thought I’d share some of the food we ate and the vendors we saw along the way. The salads were at this fabulous Turkish restaurant in Poriya, Israel. In Jerusalem, we often bought from street vendors like the ones below: On the fourth day of Hannuka, we went to the Open Market on Jaffa Street. I was amazed at all …
