Love is worth the risk
I’m posting a bit early this week because I don’t want you to miss this news. The Renegade Wife is free on Amazon August 1-5. Don’t miss this opportunity. If you haven’t yet picked up a free copy of A Dangerous Nativity, the prequel novella, in which the hero of Renegade appears as a boy, […]
Remember Monday I was mulling how I communicate? I was struggling with the promotion of my work. I still am, and here I am early this week! In the meantime, I’ve offered folks on Facebook an opportunity to participate. I will give one winner the right to specify a story that I will dedicate to […]
The trees sang this morning, a symphony after the long silence. I added my morning psalms. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. A goldfinch flashed his coat in the sun while the catbird devoured his breakfast. The first few irises peeked open overnight, making the alleluias come easily this morning. My […]
“It wasn’t a typical Mother’s Day, but I’ll take it.” I heard that more than once yesterday, and I felt the same. Our phone began ringing early Sunday morning, and the electronic cards came quickly as well. Joy on all sides! Friends reported the same. Most of us would have preferred hugs and family around […]

I’ll be back in a few days. A break is a good thing—I recommend reading. Pull out a good book and enjoy, but first, have coffee!
Ok, I admit it, I’m a paper freak. Beloved and I have been avid genealogists for many years. When you come home from a scouting trip with a deed or death record you’ve been searching for high and low, you get attached to paper. The tendency to hold on to things the younger generation— maybe […]
We’re off! At least we will be Thursday. I should be back in this space on December 30, gearing up for what I hope will be a productive new year. Nineteenth century travel sounds hazardous and uncomfortable but I’m not sure airports during dodgy weather, colds and flu season is such a bargain either. Wish […]
What joy to see The Unexpected Wife get a bit of recognition at the 2019 RONE Awards from InD’Tale Magazine this weekend. The winner in my category, The Substitute Wife by Cici Cordelia, is also from Soul Mate Publishing. We cleaned up! One reminder for this today: this is the last day Christmas Hope is […]
