Here it is the middle of January, and I’ve had my first glimpse of Spring!!! Yay! And I’m still working on the second Natchez Trace Park Ranger book. When I send it in, I’ll share the opening! Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: Below you’ll find four dumb insurance scams. Three actually happened and I made up one. Can you …
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 …
Mystery Question for January 14th
Hi everyone! Well, it looks like I have a lot more work to do than I expected on my next book. So….I’ve essentially started over with revisions and racing to beat the clock. 🙂 So, if I don’t answer comments right away, you’ll know why, but I will set aside time to answer all comments at least once a day! …
Happy 2020
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that 2020 will be Grreattt! as Tony the Tiger used to say.

Last Week’s Answer and Winner~
This will be my last blog post for 2019…I’ll be getting ready for Christmas and working on Crosshairs, the second book in the Natchez Trace park ranger series. Although there is a chance the book will be renamed Obsession. We’ll see. I’d like to take a minute to thank you for reading my blog each week. I love the comments you make …
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 …
Fun Facts Week 3
I love this time of year and often think back to my childhood. Christmas was a magical time, even though we didn’t have much money. In late October the Sears Roebuck Toy Catalogue would arrive in the mail and I would spend time going through it, looking for cap pistols, not dolls even though this photo of my sister and …
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 …
Even More Fun Facts
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I really wish the atmosphere present during this season could be with us all year! This time last year I was on the Hallelujah Boat on the Sea of Galilee! Those are the Golan Heights you see in the background. I didn’t meet my NaNoWrMo goal of 50,000 words since edits on Standoff, the …
