The Wedding Shop Story. It’s been forever since I posted a blog. I’ve been on one deadline or another, and when it comes to choosing words, I decided to stick them in a story rather than a blog. ;p Since June of last year, I’ve written three books. I’ve learned to write fast, but three books in a year is an Olympic pace for me. Ha! When …
Prayer Is The Only Way Up
Sometimes people ask if I’d ever write a non fiction book. After all, I did major in journalism at the great Ohio State. But I loved writing features more than the hard news. I prefer to make things up rather than writing “just the facts.” When I was in journalism school, the facts were very important. I understand truth not critical …
English Romance Traditions
Welcome to England! Since I’ve been writing sudo British/English royal novels, I thought I’d take a look at English romance traditions. I turned to the English women at Women’s Alive Book Club for some help. Here’s what they said… “We don’t feed each other cake at the reception. But Valentines! At school we could order red carnations to be sent with …

It’s Been Awhile Since I Posted

The Shadow of Death
In God there is no shadow. James 1:17 tells us He is light. So why do we so often blame God for the darkness and shadows in which we walk? We’re mad at, blaming, the wrong guy. Satan is the father of lies. He is darkness. But this life and this world come with trials. There are moments when we just …
For His Name Sake
God’s name is bankable. He cannot deny Himself, His character, or the essence of who He is. If He calls us to walk in righteousness, then He will make a way for us to do so. There’s no such things as “God’s Word doesn’t work.” Or “Prayer doesn’t work.” We just have to do the work and lean into Him. …
He Makes Me Lie Down

And at times when I’ve laid down to sleep, peace was far from me. In Psalm 23, the writer, King David, prophesies to the world, for …
