In Florida, fall is a hard season. Because we don’t really have a fall. Today was in the low 80s. Tomorrow more of the same. Trees still flourish with green leaves. They won’t change until late November or December. The evenings are cooling off. Tonight is supposed to be a chilly 65. Brrrr! This year it doesn’t feel like fall …

BELOVED, A New Release from Robin Lee Hatcher
Welcome to my good friend, Robin Lee Hatcher! So excited for her new release, Beloved, part of the Where the Heart Lives series set in Boise, Idaho in the early 1900s. To say the least, it was inconsiderate of Diana’s almost-dead husband to show up at her engagement party. Diana Brennan came west on the orphan train and was given …

Too tired to write a blog today but here’s a picture with my great web master and friend, and aspiring author, Matt Jones!
It’s Not Me, It’s Me
If you ask me, we put waaaay to much stock in our personality, in our genes and DNA. Granted, we are born with predispositions, with likes and desires. With talents and giftings. I’m not denying we are uniquely and wonderfully made. But when we completely lock ourselves down by confessing, “This is just who I am,” we deny the saving, …
Guilt, Wherefore Did Thoust Cometh From?
Packaged with worry and anxiety is guilt. While I’ve done my battle against anxiety and won (take that! ZAP!*#@ #$*POW!*#@) I do come from a long line of worriers. I married a non worrier. Talk about balance. But for the most part, I’ve tried to conquer worry because the Bible is pretty darn clear on what to do with worry. …

Behind the Book: Writing The Wedding Dress Part 2
I got a call from a movie company. They read a short, very rough synopsis of the book and wanted to know more. Yeah, me too. (Read Part 1 here.) After brainstorming with Debbie and Karen, and conferring with my writing partner, Susan May Warren, I knew a couple of things: I didn’t want the dress to pass from bride …
You Aren’t Really What You Eat
I challenge this statement. “You are what you eat.” I’m a fruit? A bowl of cereal? Sugar? Big Mac, Large Fry? Grilled chicken with a side of broccoli? Really? I’m constrained by what goes in my mouth? Jesus said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.” In other words, you ARE what you SAY! Look, raw food people …
