It tiptoes back into the realm of possibilities. A whisper. "Will you do it? Please? It's been so long..." I don't know the answer I should give, but I do know the answer I want to give.

How Rewarding Would It Be to Go Back to the Past?
As I listened to Wendy Jo Cerna talk about her books, I kept getting the feel of supernatural time-slip stories unlike anything I've ever read before. I'll be honest. When she first started describing them, I wasn't certain they were the books for me. But... by the time we got done chatting about Continue Reading
Do You Think the Future Be Cool, Scary, Crazy, or What?
I seem to be on a dystopian kick. It began with Jess Corban's Nede Rising duology but then a couple more were suggested to me just a couple of days after I chatted with Christian Cross about his book Extraction: A Song for Emma. Perhaps there's a reason, eh? Listen in and discover where Christian Continue Reading

Congratulations to Celebrate Lit on 5 Exciting Years
As often happens, college classes sparked an idea—a desire. Authors needed exposure for their books. Word of mouth goes so far, but what if more “mouths” could be rallied to spread the word about great books? Sandy Barela took all she’d learned in the marketing classes and began with one blog Continue Reading
What Are The Best Genre & Retelling Mashups Ever?
Once in a while, I get a hankering to read something different. So, I give myself permission to do what I call a "free read" every now and then. That's one where I get to read whatever I want. Well, recently, my decision to enjoy a specific free read got me thinking about one of my favorite Continue Reading
Sometimes Even a Good Book Isn’t a Good Fit
I've been looking forward to this review for weeks. I love when authors tackle difficult subjects and don't pretend that people wearing the name of Christ always remember that and act like it. However, as I started reading this book, I instantly became uncomfortable. Still, sometimes we have to Continue Reading
My Crazy Wedding Day Idea and How It Worked for Me
I think everyone should be married before their wedding day. Weird thing to say? Probably. Still, there’s something incredibly freeing about knowing that everything doesn’t hinge on stuff going well on a wedding day. How do I know? I got married on November 25, 1988. Our wedding wasn’t Continue Reading
8 Great Things I Can’t Help with on the Reading Challenge
WHEW! After finishing the latest installment of Cassie, I thought I'd take a "short break" and create that list I promised in the Reading Challenge blog post. It took forever. I should be going home, but I'm determined to do a couple of things first, so I'm working hard over here... on this post. Continue Reading
Life Lessons and Insights in the Most Unexpected Places
Beautifully illustrated, the hardbound books looked like they might be children's books. However, as I flipped through them and disposed of the packaging, I realized they weren't. These books held deep, profound concepts that would take several reads to really appreciate. I sat down last night Continue Reading
What Happens When a Christian Doesn’t “Look” Like One?
He taught me a lesson—a strange man with body art who I’d never met before and would likely never meet again. The elevator stopped on my floor and the doors opened. There he was. He was big—really beefy, not overweight. Just a linebacker waiting to happen. Tattoos decorated his arms and lower Continue Reading
