Today Roxanne St. Claire, Martha Powers and I had had a book signing at Books-A-Million up in Melbourne. Before hand, we enjoyed lunch, talking about the publishing business and “what’s next” for all three of us. We all write different genres – Rocki writes Romantic Suspense. Martha writes murdery myster and of course, me, chick lit. The also write for …

Thoughts from Tony: I’ve been pondering these words of John the Baptist; “He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:29-30) As always, the challenge is figuring …

I love these words of the Man, Jesus. “For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the light, that his deeds maybe manifested as having been wrought in God.” In today’s PC world, it seems we’re “not allowed” to …

I’m a year older. Today I woke up feeling tired. And it’s not that I went to bed at 2 a.m. and woke up at 8 a.m. it’s age, I’m telling you. I’m $^ now. Yesterday we went out for dinner with our friends Chelle, Matt, Jodi, then Dave and Tricia joined us. It was very lovely. Dave and I …

Several months ago, Folgers emailed me about taste testing their new coffees and posting a blog. the fall was so busy, I’m just now getting around to the taste test results. But first, a disclaimer: I am not a coffee drinker and thus informed Folgers. But, I thought it would be fun to see if their new blends would capture …

Tony says to me while driving him to the mechanic to pick up his truck, “I feel like we just keep getting poorer.” I burst out laughing. He’s right. Not that we are going into debt, or in danger of losing our house or cars, but the cost of living keeps going up and the money is not coming in. …

Don’t you love Simon Peter. Big heart. Big mouth. Impulsive, easily discouraged. I can relate, Pete. But I’ve learned what NOT to do by studying his life as much as what TO do. On walking on water Peter had enough faith to ask the Lord to call him out on the water. But not enough to keep him from the …

For me, each book is a journey. Faith. Hope. Craft. Story. Peace. Grace. When I wrote Diva NashVegas, the Lord spoke to me through Isaiah 41:13. “I will help you.” I had days where I struggled and wondered, “Are you helping me?” He was, yes. Was it easier to write? No, but He fulfilled his word. And, the rewrites were …

Hey everyone. I know it’s late notice but I’m siging Lost In NashVegas tomorrow from 11 – 1 at Calvary Chapel Melbourne. Mark Mynheir and Bryan Davis will also be signing. Come if you can. On another note, I know the blog is messed up and I’ve contacted my web mistress. Hang tight. And to the Michigan State fan who …

We’re at home on this Thanksgiving evening with a fire in the fireplace after a very nice Thanksgiving day. I actually made Grandma and Mom’s yeast rolls. They turned out great. At the moment, Tony is reading and I’m wathing old Andy Griffith TV shows on PBS. When we came home, I said, “Well honey, how’s it feel? The Christmas …
