Blog postHello, Sunday! I have really become a lackadaisical blogger, but you know, it's summer. Ah, the lazy days! Not really sure what that means. Summer is always so busy. I can hardly keep up with the demands of garden, lawn, farming, and hanging out with my grandchildren.
Speaking of which, #16 is on the way momentarily. My daughter is 4 days overdue. Isn't she gorgeous? She and her hubby did a maternity photo shoot up at the Lake Superior shoreline a few weeks ago. Now we're just waiting for -
Blog postSummer Seeds Garden Seeds: How does your garden grow? Mine has been quite contrary this year, with parts coming along but some seeds that just refused to sprout. That always makes me anxious, because of all the time and energy I've invested. Plus, I do a lot of canning, and our family depends on mounds of jars of veggies on the basement shelves over winter. I pray over every row I plant, asking God to bless each seed, but sometimes things just don't work out quite t

Blog postI’ve had the good fortune of hooking into some stellar reads so far this year, but I have to say that of them all, April Gardner’s Beneath the Blackberry Moon trilogy (Creek Country Saga) ranks as the most romantic yet. Gripping, while at times gritty and harsh, yet beautiful, tender, and utterly moving, I was utterly invested in this twisting, epic story. Gardner enriched the three-part tale with enough danger, uncertainty, and occasionally heartbreak, to keep me holding my breath from th

Blog postIf you love the Emotion Thesaurus, you’ve got to add Body Beats To Build On alongside it in your writers’ tool chest. I just finished another round of rewrites on my work-in-progress. This time, I kept Body Beats beside me, and what a difference it made, as I was sweeping through the work looking for ways to tighten and heighten the emotional impact of the story.
Where the Emotion Thesaurus gives boat loads of ideas on ways our bodies react inwardly and outwardly to different emotio -
Blog postWhat praise can I give Laura Frantz’s An Uncommon Woman that hasn’t been given? She has written with beauty and precision the kind of story that absolutely grips me in this frontier tale. I was thoroughly swept away into a world of danger, humanity, and romance.
Frantz’s characters, especially that of Tessa, the story’s heroine, shine through with the sort of vivid personality all writers want to capture, but not all do. When I met Tessa, it wasn’t long before I realized that th -

Blog postResting and Recuperating
I'm writing to you from my recovery lounge (read: recliner). That's not really so unusual. It's where I usually write, but this time I'm on strict doctor's orders to lie low for a couple weeks while I recover from surgery. Turns out that, after many years, they discovered a hole/hernia in my diaphragm that needed patching up. I might not have ever known, except it gave me some real trouble back in July and threatened to do so again. So last wee -

Blog postYou're invited to my virtual launch party this Friday, 8/2/19, on Facebook,from 10 am-8 pm central time (11-9 eastern).
Details at the end of the post.A rhythm of Hope beats deep in the heart of every human being. Sometimes, we get discouraged when our hopes do not come to fruition--at least in our time frame. Other times, we hope for the wrong things. Things we might regret longing for later. But always there is that right and true hope that, w -
Blog postAllison Pittman has written a fabulous work of historical fiction set during the French Revolution, in which she uniquely portrays the revolution from the years leading up to and during the event, and from both inside Paris and in the outlying French countryside.
I had to wait a few days to write this review. I had to take it in—the story, the bigness, the voices of the characters. This ambitious novel is what I would classify as real literature, told from the points of view of cous -
Blog postWhen I found out that one of my favorite authors, Laura Frantz, was releasing a new novel with a highlander hero coming to Colonial America, I let out a peal of delight. I admit that part of that reason was because I was in the throes of penning my own highlander-come-to-the-colonies novella, and I wanted to see how a popular author like Ms. Frantz handled it, but largely, it was because she always, always comes through with a marvelous story. A Bound Heart is no exception. Spanning the Atlanti

Blog postAs many books as I've read and enjoyed in 2018, none have touched me as profoundly as Joanne Bischof's Sons of Blackbird Mountain. In fact, I just finished the ARC of Book Tow on my Kindle, and OH. MY. GOODNESS The combo should be a movie. So good. You really want to read both to go the full circle of the story. Book two is available for pre-order.
Read book one now! Book two releases March 12, 2019.

Blog postI am pleased to end 2018 by welcoming my special guest, award-winning author Nike Chillemi, who recently released her new romantic suspense novel Courting Danger. She's going to share the answers to a couple of questions that intrigued me about the book. I think you'll find the background to this novel interesting too.
I've so enjoyed developing a friendship with Nike on social media over the years. Even though we've never met in person, she is one of those people who I would count a -

Blog postOften when a writer releases a new story into the world, they're asked, "What inspired you to write this story? Where did you get this idea?" Someone recently asked me that very thing about Mist O'er the Voyageur my new novel releasing today. Perhaps before I give the answer, I should post the story blurb so you know what it's about if you haven't already heard.
