I’m so excited to have dear friend and agency-mate, Jill Kemerer, join me on the blog today. *waves* Jill is one those sweet souls who immediately puts others at ease and makes the world a whole lot brighter… and funnier! 🙂 I got to meet Jill in person when we roomed together during the 2012 ACFW conference in Dallas. Let …
Writers love words. That’s why we write. We like rolling words around on our tongue. We like the mental imagery we can create with words. It humbles us to know that our words change lives–that our stories stay alive long after we’ve finished telling them. Writing may seem like such an intangible thing, but when you stop and think about it, …
When selecting a book to read or buy, like most folks, my eyes automatically scan the cover for telltale clues as to what the book’s about. Many times, if the cover art is intriguing, it’ll cause me to give the book a second glance and I’ll at least peruse the book a little longer. I’ll probably read the back cover copy and …
In my previous posts Isn’t It Romantic and 10 Reasons Why I Write (Faith-based) Romance, I touched on matters of the heart and why I write what I do. The art of romance shouldn’t be rocket science, but many times, the perception of romance is so distorted by what media and television purport it should be, our views become skewed and God’s original …
Today I’d like to share a little about me. Some things I may have talked about in previous posts, but a few tidbits may be new. Okay, here’s the scoop: I’m a spirit-filled gal who’s not afraid to show it. I believe there’s only one way to our Heavenly Father and that’s through Jesus Christ, His Son. Red is my favorite …
I’ve always been a “go for broke” kind of person. In other words, I believe anything that’s worth doing is worth doing well. I think when we’re younger, we tend to hang back a bit because of fear. Not just reluctance–fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of peer perceptions. And maybe, as odd as it sounds, even fear of success. In …
Have you ever noticed that in today’s world some folks are so busy parroting what others say you begin to wonder if they even have any core beliefs themselves? As a parent, this concerns me on many levels and for the obvious reasons. As an adult, it saddens me because I realize that we’re our children’s first influencers, and so many …
I’ve thought a lot about how much the past affects our present. It influences everything: cultural differences, lifestyles, the way we speak, the way we dress, what drives us to succeed, others’ perceptions of us, and a host of other things. Believe me, because of where I live, I’ve heard just about every hillbilly joke there is. I usually smile …
I snapped the above photo during a sightseeing trip one summer. The lighting was just right, and the stained glass was breathtaking. Often, I’ve examined why I write what I do. You may remember my recent post 10 Reasons Why I Write (Faith-based) Romance. Today, I’m talking about why I like to show faith in fiction. To me, being able to see …
When we’re surrounded by everyday beauty, sometimes it’s easy to become a little complacent thinking that it’s always going to be there–that it’s always going to be a given. My heart aches for all of those touched recently by natural disasters, unforseen circumstances, and random acts of violence. I tend to dwell on these things, reflecting on how I, personally, can make …
