My first week after turning in Justice Delivered to my editor has been hectic catching up on everything I let slide…like entering my checks into my computer and the Scavenger Hunt last week and cleaning house. I really did mean to clean house…and I did take a stab at my office. (so I could get in it) Anyway, on to this week’s …
Reader Friday – The Great Divorce
Can you believe I hadn’t read The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis until recently? It was given to me by my good friend and fellow writer, Delores Topliff, for my birthday back in January. Since I was deep into getting Justice Delivered finished (and by this time next week it will sit on my editor’s desk!), I only had time to read in …
Reader Friday – Stars in the Grass
I’m still working hard to get Justice Delivered in on time! But there is light at the end of the tunnel! I’m 139 pages from going through it and editing the first draft! I think I’ll make it. 🙂 My reading has slowed down since I often work until ten at night, but this past week, I read Stars in the Grass by Ann …
Reader Friday: The Promise of Breeze Hill
Did you know it was hard to find time to read when you’re finishing a manuscript? I’m a little past 80,000 words and about to type The End… well, not really. I’ve finished the first draft and it’s mostly good words, but now I have 19 days to polish and add another 10,000 words. 🙂 Today I want to tell you …
Reader Friday – Sniper!
This week I read Linda J. White’s book, SNIPER, and I had to make myself put it down so I could get some sleep. Just imagine a sniper in your community killing people randomly. Linda’s husband, Larry, was a video producer/director at the FBI Academy for over 27 years, and he took Linda to the office so she could get a feel for …
Reader Friday – Her Good Girl
I cannot believe I forgot to post my Reader Friday Blog! Wow. This deadline is getting to me. lol I am at 63,280 words going to 90,000. And a March 1 deadline. I could possibly need a few prayers to make this deadline! Now onto Her Good Girl by Elaine Stock. This is a psychological suspense story that deals with Munchausen Syndrome …
Reader Friday–Surgeon’s Choice
This was my week in North Mississippi! Two snows in less than a week. That has to be a record! And to top it off, my central heat stopped working Friday evening…but living in a small town has advantages. The next morning, a repairman was there by ten o’clock and had me going! Thankfully, it was only water that had frozen …
Reader Friday – The Promise
Welcome back to the first Reader Friday of 2018! This past week I’ve read two books and The Promise by Susan Lantz Simpson is one of them and the one I’m talking about today. The other is Pam Hillman’s Promise of Breeze Hill. I’ll tell you what I think of it next week. I don’t usually read Amish fiction, but I love to …
Reader Friday – How many books will you read this year?
I read more books last year than I’ve read in a long time. How many? I don’t know. I didn’t keep count. But this year that will change because I’ve taken the Goodreads Challenge. And I’ve signed up to read 100 books. Do you want to take the Goodreads Challenge? If so, it’s really easy. Just click here. Now a …
Reader Friday – One Step Back
This week I spent time with my agent, Julie Gwinn. We talked about my research, and she thought I should share this story with you. I have a nurse on speed dial to help me with various plot complications…like how would a snake bite be treated and what would be the standard operating procedure in an ER. Those kinds of things. …
