Marching Along

March crept in like a lamb but it has been roaring like a lion for a week. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, or, if your area is like mine, Happy Irish week! Parades, green everything and shenanigans. Much has been done lately and there is much to do. The final copy for Family Honor and A […]

Alarming

A jarring sound and a voice yelling FIRE woke me up in the middle of the night. One (but only one) of my fire alarms went off. I turned it off and checked high and low. No smoke. No fire. It happened four times, alas. I put an air filter on in the room and […]

Horn Tooting

There are many steps in producing a book; it is only finished when someone reads it. In order to read it, they have to find it. “Discovery” is the toughest phase of publishing, and it gets harder every year.

Progress On All Fronts

Another Beginning

Another year; another new start. I spent yesterday taking a wide view of 2026 and 2027. My primary goal is to get my out of print books republished as the Honor at Heart series. I’m hoping to publish books one and two in March with another to follow every two months until (GULP) Mid-2027. Other […]

Joy of Joys

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light… (Isaiah 9:1) We got a real snow Saturday–the fluffy kind that makes the world look enchanting. Thanks to the kindness of neighbors and family my driveway is clear and I can get out! Kindness is always light in the world. I also got candles […]

Merry and Bright

In these shortest of days and darkest of nights, my three little trees light up at dusk. So do the timed candles in every window. Over the weekend, I filled my house with red ribbons, shiny things, and reminders of my faith. The latter are in the form of little nativity sets from around the […]
