Imagination Envy
If you read my post last week as part of the Transformational Fiction giveaway blog tour titled “A Matter of Trust,” you may be wondering if I struggle with jealousy (also known as coveting, featured in one of the Ten Commandments). Sure there’s a twinge or two sometimes. Hanging out with such successful authors, there’s … Continue reading Imagination Envy →

A Matter of Trust: Vulnerability in an Online Prayer Group
Remember that time Jesus said something about being kind to “the least of these brothers and sisters”? I often feel that’s what the ladies in this prayer group did for this sister when they took me in! I was frankly flattered when Elizabeth Musser invited me to be part of the group, but not stunned—not … Continue reading A Matter of Trust: Vulnerability in an Online Prayer Group →

“So…are you still writing?”
A lot of people have asked me lately whether I’m still writing. I can understand why. It’s been around three years since I published Jordan’s Shadow—and I haven’t even blogged or sent out a newsletter for ages. You very seldom even hear from me on Facebook. So no wonder the questions, in an age where … Continue reading “So…are you still writing?” →

Coming soon! Unusual post-apocalytpic with spiritual questions, The Last One
I’ve been reading a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction lately. A LOT. So much so that I wrote an article called “Name that Apocalypse.” So elements of the plots are starting to sound sort of familiar. The Last One by Alexandra Oliva (to be released July 12*) has a bit of a twist. The main character…

Remember to Forget is an emotional YA love story written by a teen
Even though one of my favorite genres is YA Lit—and I am most definitely NOT in the YA age range—I suspect your age may have more to do with whether you enjoy Remember to Forget than some other YA books I’ve read. I don’t mean this in a bad way. I just remember in my…

Name that Apocalypse!
I just finished reading post-apocalyptic novel Cyberstorm by Matthew Mather. Just before that I read One Year After byWilliam R. Forstchen. And I’m watching The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead on TV. All these apocalypse talescould explain mybad mood. These storiesgot me thinking, though–and I don’t mean about becoming a prepper. (Okay, they…

How Do you Like Your Villains? Part II of Writing Good Villains
Awhile back, I wrote a post about writing good villains.In that one, I talked about villains in books, TV, or movies that start out evil, but somehow become sympathetic to us. We end up rooting for them–and hopefully they become redeemed. I always intended to write villains like that. I love stories of redemption, and…

I was excited to be contacted by author Amy C. Blake about her new release, a juvenile fantasy calledThe Trojan Horse Traitor. I read her spooky suspense Whitewashed last year, and it was great fun. Amy wanted me to help her get the word out about her Goodreads give-away of two paperpack copies of the…
