First, a picture. These two shelves in my office are rarely in the state in which you see them here—empty. They’re usually filled with research and notes related to whatever writing projects are in progress at any given time. Seriously, I think for the last five years, since the release of my first book, The […]
Two months after writing about being MIA on my own blog, I still am. Some of the reasons are the same. The migraine issues I wrote about in December (but which began in August) have crossed over into a diagnosis of “chronic.” Thankfully medication keeps them from being acute, though they are still daily, and […]
Years ago I worked in a retail fabric store. In the craft world, Christmas starts in July. During weeks of summer heat I measured and cut red and green Christmas fabrics while everybody in town with a sewing machine stacked up supplies to keep them going till December. In the book world, Christmas seems to […]
Two months! I just realized how much time has passed since I last posted. Actually, I think of the month of August as “The Month That Was Not,” because I was under the weather for a few weeks. But also since the last time I posted, I’ve had an exciting release. Back in 2014, Hidden […]
A couple of years ago I wrote Hidden Falls, a long novel that was available in “episodes” you could download for an e-reader or audible book. I’m pleased to be able to say that the book will soon be available in print as a big fat book of 528 pages. I loved writing this book, […]

Hope in the Land just released. I’m still basking in the glow of my author copies sitting in the corner of my kitchen. When a new books comes out, I am always astounded that it actually happened! I know many of you keep up to date on my books. Thank you! Thank you! It’s always […]
April 1 was the official release day for Hope in the Land. So all I’m saying here is “Yippee!” I’dve long wanted to write a Depression-era story, so this books holds a soft spot in my heart. It’s available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christian Book Distributors, and all the usual places where people like […]
Growing up and living during my younger adult years in Illinois, I suppose I knew about as much about the Great Depression as anyone in my circles. Stock market crash. High unemployment. The Grapes of Wrath. Sometimes my mother told a story that drew me past the facts to the emotions. But it was after […]
