Oh, wow! Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! Wasn’t it just Easter a month or so ago? I don’t know how time gets away so quickly!

Reader Friday – Winter’s Kiss
I have a confession to make. Earlier this month I was reading a fiction book that had been recommended as a good example of writing.

After years of reading Christian Fiction, I discovered I couldn’t put such a dark …

Reader Friday – James Rubart
This week’s book is a departure from my usual genre. James Rubart’s The Long Journey to Jake Palmer isn’t suspense or mystery, but it is a book that has stayed with me long after I finished it.
