All Great Historical Fiction Has One Thing in Common

The second of our compilation interview episodes (first HERE), this episode features three historical fiction authors. Join me as I chat with Amanda Cabot about her latest release, Dreams Rekindled.  I also spoke with Jill Eileen Smith about her latest release, Miriam's Song. Marguerite Martin Gray Continue Reading

So, What's More Exciting Than a New Book?

So, What’s More Exciting Than a New Book?

For me, it’s the team of gals I have helping me share the news of them. If you’ve been following my Launch Team posts, check THIS PAGE in case you’ve missed any. I’ve had a couple of days off from these posts, but It’s time to introduce you to Emily. Always good for a laugh or a fun quip, So, Continue Reading

How Diversity in the Launch Team Saved the Day

How Diversity in the Launch Team Saved the Day

Diversity—it’s a thing, folks.  Whether you’re talking about ethnic diversity, social diversity, age, economic, religious—you name it.  It’s a thing. And if you had any doubts at all, just look at my team.  We’ve met a single gal or two, a mom of eight, a married woman without children, a Continue Reading

The Obnoxious Reason This Post has a pathetic title

The Obnoxious Reason This Post Has a Pathetic Title.

I’ve learned something through this blog series about my awesome launch team. I surround myself with amazing encouragers. These women are honest, don’t get me wrong. But they’re on the team because they like what I do, and apparently because I found gals who know how to make me want to keep going Continue Reading

Introducing a Local Launch Team Member: Ruby!

Introducing a Local Launch Team Member: Ruby!

I may not know much about space ships, androids, and asteroids, but when this next gal needed help with labor… well, now there, I know a thing or nine. Unlike most of my launch team, Ruby (her real name is hidden to protect the innocent destruction of the spelling of it. This is something I also Continue Reading

What I Absolutely Love about Darlene (& in her own words!)

What I Absolutely Love about Darlene (& in her own words!)

“Oh, I’d better go set up the classroom.” A voice answers. “Oh, Joe did it.” Later, someone mentions needing to order the case of New Testaments. The reply comes again, “Oh, I think Joe took care of that last week.” You don’t always see Joes, but you always feel the effects.  The coffee Continue Reading

What Super Hero Saves the Blogging Day? Mommynificent!

What Super Hero Saves the Blogging Day? Mommynificent!

This series on launch team members for the release of Will Not See has been so fun for me.  Because not only do I get to reflect and share the things about each member that bless me, I  also get to learn new things. My next member has written me some of the most encouraging emails.  She's always Continue Reading

When Horrendous Traffic Kills Your Chance to Meet Someone

When Horrendous Traffic Kills Your Chance to Meet Someone

I hate California freeways.  Okay, so I really don’t hate them, but sometimes they’re crazy inconvenient.  Zipping along without a care in the world—awesome.  Traffic backed up for at least twenty minutes  (one way) due to an accident… well, it’s not so bad if you’re plotting out a new book.  I was Continue Reading

Whose Name Inspired an Exciting New Character?

Whose Name Inspired an Exciting New Character?

I arrive home from a night of writing and praying at the Lighthouse.  Kicked back in the recliner, I pop on a mystery while I do a few things and a little blue light pops up on Facebook.  A word of encouragement, a laugh, a prayer for me, a prayer request—something.  At least once a week, it Continue Reading

This gal breaks my heart & makes me laugh

This Gal Breaks My Heart & Makes Me Laugh

Supposedly there is some TV show about gals in Jersey.  Me?  I’ve got my own reality show playing out in my launch team’s private Facebook group.  Two Jersey gals keeping me laughing, joking, and on my toes. Barb from yesterday is all about the cars (she’s a NASCAR fiend.  Forgot to tell you that), Continue Reading

Barb!

Every Team Needs an Authentic Jersey Girl

  Our next Launch Team Member in my introductory series knew me back when I thought Harry Potter was of Satan. She knew me when I posted updates of my labor online as it progressed. You know those first words of Aggie? Yeah, she knew me back then. She loved me for William’s ‘Vette, and Continue Reading

Have You Ever Wondered What Inspires a Novel?

A few years ago, I joined the “Blogging for Books” program with Multnomah. Every few weeks, I’d get an email from Liz Johnson or another gal (I want to call her Abby), offering a new book to read. And when Liz left there to become an author, she sent me (and I assume others) an email thanking me for Continue Reading

Day 4: Vacation Read I LOVE collections for vacati Day 4: Vacation Read
I LOVE collections for vacation reads. They're usually a bit shorter (these aren't novellas but they are shorter novels) and there are usually several options to choose from. 
I love the Summer Heat Series, and not just because I've got a book in there!
#BookishChallenge
Day 3: Colorful Colors Well, I made myself choose Day 3: Colorful Colors
Well, I made myself choose books that are in the shed-i-ffice instead of going and looking at what I had throughout the house. These were some that were bright and vivid. I've only read parts of two of them (plan to finish The Major and the Missionary tomorrow and Fawkes I'll start reading on the 5th for obvious reasons). #BookishChallenge
