I've tried to decide how to market my books, but marketing is not my gift. I appreciate my readers beyond words. They vary in age, tastes, and preferred genres. Not all of them "fancy" love stories/romance. The competition for novels is unlimited. Literally millions of love stories and romance novels have been written and are…

       And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good…

Some sadly abhor the holidays for various reasons, most consistent with the loss of something very meaningful or important to them which they associate with Christmastime. This is especially sad to imagine since the reason for the season is the greatest gift to every person, rich or poor, male or female, big or small. An…

Another female protagonist I must mention is Candace Irving's Kate Holland in the Hidden Valor Series with her K-9 Ruger. Exceptional,…

       In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.       So Joseph also went up from the town…

Okay. Some of you are done Christmas shopping and others of you can't even think about it right now. Many of you are somewhere in between.  Well, this year I didn't do my "Christmas shopping in July" feature so we shall do our novel suggestions beginning today.

My solo mystery with a thread of romance. Christmas is coming . . .  Race is the only novel of mine that is available in print, e-book, and audio.  Lord, you helped me get this one done after "suggesting" it to me for a long time before I attempted to get it written. Apart from…
