Into the Fire

This is an old review, but I just had to post it. Sometimes writers need a jumpstart to continue. I need affirmation even if it's years old. So I looked back to my favorite in-depth, wise beyond his years, reviewer Josh Olds. As an author, I long for readers who "get" me, what I'm saying – or trying to – what my purpose is in telling the particular story the way I did. Josh always has.  

When I write my love stories, mostly they're about ordinary people who enter into the arena of love. My stories are about the process: the emotion, the pain, the temptations, the failures, the laughter, the spirituality or lack thereof. Those readers who enjoy all kinds of conflict and action to keep the pages turning aren't my typical audience.

So with a new love story waiting to be released as an e-book in June, I'm reflecting on the past and hoping the very near future will provide good endings to the three new novels in process. The cover is done, and the formatting is started. Soon . . .

Father, thank you for every word, every character, every moment dedicated to producing the story you've given me. As always, thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
