Here’s the back cover copy: DOUBLE-BARRELED TROUBLE When Dr. Caden Taggart saw the two men sitting in his waiting room, he didn’t think they were patients. He was …
From the Police Blotter
I don’t know how you spent your Saturday, but I spent an hour and a half of mine at the lodge pictured below listening to a very interesting seminar on poisons native to Mississippi. (Can you see where this is going?) Did you know some of the most common plants around us are very poisonous? Like White Snakeroot. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln’s mother …
Reader Friday ~ Something a Little Different
Today’s review is a little different in that it’s a review of the Tyndale Chronological Bible, NIV translation. About eleven years ago I taught abstinence education in the schools, going into different schools and classrooms. One day one of the teachers remarked that she’d read through the Bible every year for the past ten years, and she challenged me to do the …

Too Dumb to Be True
This past week has been interesting…Montgomery Bell State Park was wonderful. The photo to the left is of a church built in 1810 and is the birthplace of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. When I entered the old church, I experienced such peace. The windows are stained glass and rays of the sun were reflected on the wooden pews. Unfortunately, I …
Reader Friday – Leaving Oxford
Last week before I left for Montgomery Bell State Park, I had the opportunity to read Janet W. Ferguson’s novel, Leaving Oxford. I’d been anxious to read it since our time together in Jackson, Mississippi when four of us brainstormed our next books. What a treat it was! Set near my old stomping grounds of Oxford, Mississippi and much of it set …
