Sometimes, We Must Multitask, Juggle, and Pivot Quickly
If there’s anything I’ve learned in the last decade, it’s that nothing stays the same. Multitasking for authors is, indeed, a way of life—even (especially) during a pandemic. We may not like it at times, and we may rail against it. Sometimes, it will be necessary to carve out much-needed downtime in between books. But after our very first book …

There’s no sugar-coating it. This is a different Easter. An historical Easter, in fact. But then again…isn’t every Easter “historical”?

Sunday, as we celebrate Christ’s defeat over the grave, instead of rejoicing together in a church building, we’ll rejoice, in spirit, in our homes. For many, Easter …
Is This Real Life?
COVID-19. Pandemic. Sheltering-in-place. Is this real life or will we wake up soon? No longer does this feel like the twenty-first century. Our “new normal” has shifted and today seems more like a bizarre movie script with enough twists and turns to surprise (and dare I say delight?) even the hard to impress film critic.

E-Books: 10 Reasons to Love Them (Especially Now)
Well, like other people, I’m at odds. This week has tied my emotions in knots. Each day has brought something new. Updates, facts, statistics—important topics to be sure, but rather depressing if we dwell on them too long.

I thought it was another flu-like illness that could be bad, but would eventually run its course. Now we know that early assumptions were wrong.
