Wishing You a Reflective Memorial Day that we may never forget. I get goosebumps every time I see this photo. I also remember my trip to D.C. and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Seeing those soldiers keeping watch over that tomb is such an awe-inspiring moment. If you’ve never been and get the opportunity, be sure to go by …
The Water Keeper (Murphy Shepherd Book 1) by Charles Martin is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the opening: “Three miles distant, the trail of smoke spiraled upward. Thick and black it poured from the twin supercharged diesels housed in the engine room. Orange and red flames licked the smoke against a fading blue skyline, telling me the fire was hot and …
More Funny Lawyer Gaffes #11 is this week’s Mystery Question. And from what I can tell, there are many more to come. 🙂 But first, the photo and verse. I saw the cloud as I drove home from visiting my friend Cheryl (Corinth Rose) and turned around to get a better view. I wonder how many things some of you …
Sweet Double-Cross is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first paragraph: “Dead. They’re all dead.” Biochemist Dennis Early stared at the Sweet County, Florida, cornfield in disbelief. The sun crested the tree line and colored the muggy Florida morning with an eerie orange. He swiped at a bead of sweat—not from the weather but out of horror—seeing the devastation of …
More Crazy Lawyer Gaffes #10 is this week’s Mystery Question. But first, the photo and verse. My friend Cheryl took this on their last trip out west, and I loved the colors and rock formation. It reminded me of En Gedi, where David ran from Saul. You can see more of her photos here. The verse is the first one I …
Two Seconds Too Late by Dani Pettrey is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the opening: Thwack. The bullet collided with the car at Riley’s back a moment before a retort echoed in the stale air of the junkyard. But first the photo and verse. It’s that time of year again when the magnolias bloom in Mississippi. It’s the state flower, …
More Crazy Lawyer Gaffes #9 is this week’s Mystery Question. First the photo and verse. I met with writer friends from my ACFW Memphis chapter on Friday night and Saturday morning at Pickwick Landing State Park in Tennessee. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and encouragement, and one reason I chose the verse. Now for this week’s Mystery Question–More …
Broker of Lies, (A Travis Brock Thriller Book 1) by Steven James is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first few lines: Providence Memorial Hospital Burn Unit, Washington, DC. Zoe Hughes eyed the door. “He’s in there?” A nod from her supervisor, a nurse who’d been working in the burn ward for nearly twenty years. Kathleen Capron had seen it …
More Crazy Lawyer Gaffes #8 is this week’s Mystery Question…if I can think up a gaffe that a lawyer hasn’t said. 😉 I’ve been busy getting in my edits for On the Edge of Trust! PTL, they are done…at least this go-round. Now for the photo and verse. Delores Topliff contributed this week’s photo, taken when she traveled to Jacksonville, …
I Think I Was Murdered by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line (although I’m not sure anything can beat the title). “In 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto laid an egg. Jason Foster found it two weeks ago, and he’d been running for his life ever since.” What an opening! But first the photo and …
