  •                                         A Reason to Live by Matthew Iden is the first book in the Marty Singer Mystery Series.  Marty Singer, Detective with the DC police force (MPDC), was forced into retirement when he was abruptly diagnosed…

  •        Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.      . . .       But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you…

  •     What is the first activity you do in the morning? Do you eat a full breakfast? What is your beverage of choice in the morning? How soon do you check your PC, laptop, phone after getting up?  Are you a morning person?  Do you normally get up early? What's your favorite day of…

  •                                          I will personally mourn the death of Rush Limbaugh, "America's Anchorman with talent on loan from God". No one can replace him. No one. He was appointed for the purpose as a young man and…

  •                   So. I took a break from morbid mysteries and settled on a little romance. Sounded interesting enough from an author I'd never read.  Decent writer. Prolific. Lots of novels.

  •                                                           Blake Pierce's Book 5 in the Adele Sharp Mystery Series ratchets up the weirdness in the antagonist, escalates the connection between Adele and Agent Renee, jets…

  •   You who are far away, hear what I have done;    you who are near, acknowledge my power! The sinners in Zion are terrified;    trembling grips the godless:    "Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?     Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?" He who walks righteously  …

  •             What happens when your favorite hero or heroine disappoints you, acts like a jerk, does something out of character for them, or makes you mad?  If you stick with a series long enough or get to know the hero/heroine well enough, chances are the author is going to rile…

  •   My readers know I write Christian Fiction. Tagline: Raw Romantic Redemptive.  Currently, I don't where the genre is, where it's heading, what its center tends to be, or if it has a focused projection for its future.  I do know novellas have made a splash and series novels keep a high profile.  Whether or…
