Christmas Cookies Mysteries is up for pre-order! I’m not certain if I’ve told anyone yet, BUT I’m honored to be one of the fourteen authors (including one of the Oak Ridge Boys) in an anthology with mysteries based on the titles from the Oak Ridge Boys Christmas Cookies album. But first the scripture and photo. I love that verse in …
Jerusha Agen’s Rising Danger–What I’m Reading
Jerusha Agen’s Rising Danger kept me up a couple of nights this week until past midnight! This fast-paced story will keep you turning the pages until The End! But first the photo and scripture. The past few months this verse has kept me going. It is such a comfort to know we belong to Him, that He has called us by name. …
My TBR Table–What I’m Reading
My TBR Table and several first lines are what I’m sharing this week on What I’m Reading. It’s been a chock-full week, and I’ve had little time to read except for a wonderful book I plan to endorse–We Shall Not Shatter by Elaine Stock. More about that book in the weeks to come. It’d been cloudy all day with remanents …
Reader Friday ~ Rosanna’s Gift
For my second book review of the year, I’d like to talk about a book that lifted my spirits and I enjoyed to the end! Rosanna’s Gift by Susan Lantz Simpson is set in the Amish community in Southern Maryland, and it’s such an uplifting romance story but even more, it’s the story of a young woman’s desire to give …
Reader Friday ~ Acts of Malice
I have discovered a new author…well, that’s not quite true. Let me rephrase that. While I’ve never met her, I’ve known Nike N. Chillemi virtually through the author loops at ACFW for a few years now. And hers is one of the few blogs I read for pleasure. I read a lot of blogs about the craft of writing, but …
Reader Friday ~ Christmas Witness Pursuit
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was quiet, with a few friends in. This time last year, I was in Israel, and I hope one day to return! December is here, and I thought I’d try to do a few Christmas reviews…maybe. 🙂 Lisa Harris mailed me a copy of her latest Love Inspired Suspense and it is …
Reader Friday – Engaged in Trouble
One day I realized I had never read a Jenny B. Jones book. I’d meant to, but if you ever took a look at my Kindle titles or my print TBR table you would understand. Anyhoo, this past week I remedied the oversight with not one book but two! And I actually started with the first book of a new …
Reader Friday ~ One Day Gone
I’ve long admired Luana Ehrlich’s books with Titus Ray and set in the Middle East (Must write a review for them here!), and the first book in her new series featuring Mylas Grey is a great addition. Mylas is a character that stays with you long after you finish the book. Here’s the back cover copy (And don’t you love …
Reader Friday ~ Brink of Danger
Brink of Danger by Christy Barritt literally kept me from doing anything until I finished it. Of course, it helped that my power was off and I could read without guilt. 🙂 And when my battery got low on my iPad, I switched to my phone to finish it! Here’s the back cover copy: Ansley Wilder has always lived life …
Reader Friday ~ Always Look Twice
Last week when the power went out I was reading Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard, and I wasn’t about to let a little thing like no electricity keep me from finishing the book! Thank goodness for flashlights! Here’s the back cover copy: At the advice of her therapist, homicide survivor Harper Reynolds has traded her job as a crime …
