  •     So. I've been pondering lately as to why I've been reading so many secular/general market novels. Outside of Vince Flynn's thrillers, I didn't read much outside of Christian fiction. In fact, if you go back far enough in this blog, you'll find a post about why I read Christian fiction exclusively. And the…

  •   When we were overwhelmed by sins,    you atoned for our transgressions.   Psalm 65:3 (NIV) 

  •       Those who know me acknowledge that I can cry at just about anything – even when trying not to do so. Passionate, emotional, sensitive (make that over-sensitive) with a cyber hard finish and an extremely tender heart. That's who God created me to be – without all the stupid mistakes, sinful decisions,…

  •                         This goes back a ways. The story itself takes place "Sometime in the 80's". This is a huge novel, my first, a saga. It takes a comprehensive look at the sport of horse racing and the multiple types of people who comprise that…

  •               Five things you'll find in my novels that relate to me or my family (notice I said "things"): Coca Cola A vehicle we have owned at some point or still do (i.e. 1980 Ford 4 X 4) Longer hair on a man or men Coffee The states of…

  •                         The Famous One, my second published novel, is written like a fictional biography about a lonely child who becomes a restless and rebellious young man with a sense and heart of decency under that loner facade. He's discovered while singing the blues with…
