A very long time ago in the Liberty Lake area of Spokane, Washington. Times of life when you feel very small . . .    Father, thank you for always watching over me even when I had no idea how to live my life. Thank you for patiently waiting for me to turn to you…

Many years ago, two cases of my first novel accompanied a mission trip to either Ghana or Guinea in Africa. Another two cases went to Florida with a pastor. I also took a couple of cases to the local racetrack (Emerald Downs) to be sold or given away to racetrackers. It's a comprehensive story about…

  After a glitchy start, it's time for Tuesday Tunes. Enjoy one of the many hits from this great voice and talent.    Father, only you save souls. Thank you is never enough. May everyone you've gifted in the arts know from whom their talent comes. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

From my older novel Sweet Release: CHAPTER ONE   Claudia Madelyn Rutheford hated her name. Not even as a child did she once remember liking her name—especially when the other kids teased her by calling her a “clod” which she never thought was even remotely clever or funny in spite of their hysterics.

At two years old and giving a hint of who I would be eventually. Oh yeah.    Father, you were patient with and gracious to me even when I was at my worst. Thank you is never enough for the rescue. Apart from you, I can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

Uneasy Street by Becky Wade is the conclusion to A Sons of Scandal Romance trilogy. Becky Wade fans know that if you want sparks-flying romance, you pick up any one of her novels. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again, Becky knows romance. She's one of the few romance novelists I read because…

  Couldn't resist this one again! Love this! Jesus IS more than "just alright!" He's the Savior of the world.  John 14:6  Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me from myself. I pray you always will. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

Various trends I'll be happy to see go: Cartoonish book covers for novels that aren't comedic – particularly for romance novels. False eyelashes that make me stare at them instead of the eyes. Ladies, please, they are false/fake/faux eyelashes. I owned and wore bellbottom pants but not the ones that were two feet wide on…
