Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  •         But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but everyone…

  •                                    Name five of your favorite movies. They don't have to be in order. Can be random choices that come to mind. Five movies you enjoy.   POTC Curse of the Black Pearl  The Tourist (remake) The Bourne Series…

  •                 Frozen in time . . . caught in the moment when the mood is written in the eyes and the pose says it all.  Longacres Racetrack, a very long time ago.    Father, you watched the struggle, you waited patiently, and finally at just the right moment…

  •         On the evening of February 14th, 2022, I finished my latest novel. Then . . . you is now sporting the two words that brought it to a close: The End. Yes, it's a love story. Yes, I love this one. Yes, I hope those of you who choose to read…

  •     With clips from the film The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, one of Whitney's most beautifully performed songs with meaningful lyrics, it's absolutely one of my all-time favorites.

  •   Place me like a seal over your heart,    like a seal over your arm; for love is as strong as death,    its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire,      like a mighty flame.   Song of Solomon 8:6 (NIV) 

  •   "I write love stories with a passion." Yes, that's me. My novels don't have major conflict after conflict after conflict. That notion is the prescribed medium for pure romance novels. Which is why I refer to mine as love stories, heavy on the romance. My novels are about people. Period. Some ordinary, some extraordinary,…

  •                                 This one touched quite a few. If you've read it, tell me what you thought.    Father, thank you for each one. Apart from you, I can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  •   I'm disappointed. Those of you who follow my reviews surely have noticed that the majority of novels reviewed in the last year, maybe two or more, have been general market thrillers. Even five years ago, it would be unusual to find a general market (secular) novel on that list in the side column of…
