For the last couple of months, I can't blink without seeing the name Juliette Duncan, so when I saw her as next on my list for interviews, I was excited! And boy was chatting with her a delight.

How Do People React When They Feel Like No One Understands Them?
A chat with Suzanne Woods Fisher is always a delight, but I especially loved talking to her about her latest release, Anything but Plain, and what prompted her desire to write about a young Amish woman with ADHD.

Community, Quilts, & Christmas Love: What More Could You Want?
Last month I had a lovely chat with Melody Carlson about her latest release, A Quilt for Christmas, and oh boy did we have fun.

When the Arrogance of Man Meets the Goodness of God?
I never knew how much I talked about my mistakes and misunderstandings until I had to write this post and realized I've shared most of the ones (if not all) that are remotely interesting. Let's face it. I've got an unbelievable talent for blowing it. Case in point: I didn't get this post finished Continue Reading
Like It or Not, Yesterday Still Has a Significant Impact on Today
My favorite book of 2020 was from a previously unknown to me author, Terrie Todd. That book? Bleak Landing. Since listening to the audiobook for that one, I went on to read several others by her including one of this year's favorites, Rose Among Thornes. And now, surprise, surprise, another of her Continue Reading
If You Loved Rain, Whirlwind Might Blow It Out of the Water
Remember 2020? No not for that reason. I'm talking to Christian fiction readers here. You couldn't blink without seeing a cover--one specific cover--and hearing people rave about the book.

What Do Love, Forgiveness, and Trust Have to Do with a Good Book?
My dad was probably drunk the night he said the worst things anyone has ever said to me. I can still hear the guttural growl as he spewed horrible accusations on a girl who had made a foolish, new mom mistake.

Watch Out! This Book Will Send You on a Wild Ride through Palestine!
When I saw the title... The Gates of Hell, I had an image of what the cover would look like. Dark... ominous... and a whole lot of red. Well, I was partially right and pleasantly surprised. I mean, this cover is unique, appears to be spot on, and yet unexpected, too. I like that combination. Then Continue Reading
Nothing Says Merry Christmas Like Love, a Dare & a Pink Apron
One thing I love about Lila Diller's writing is how strong faith elements are at the core of every book. So, when I saw she wrote a Christmas novel, well... YEAH! Her A Christmas Repair is out, and I've already started it. So far, I like these characters. Okay, I'm not super fond of Jessica, but I Continue Reading
