  •      Better the little that the righteous have        than the wealth of the many wicked;      for the power of the wicked will be broken        but the Lord upholds the righteous.   Psalm 37:16-17 (NIV)  

  •              Here are five authors of diverse skills and genres: Robert Liparulo (Thrillers/Speculative) Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills (Political/Espionage Thrillers) Steven James (Intense Mystery/Speculative) Sibella Giorello (Mystery) Brenda S.

  •                    Yay! It's here. I've got mine. Have to hurry and finish one before I can get to it! Reading fast as I can.   Lord, thank you that Kyle Mills continues these great stories. Please lead him to the place where you want him to be. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  •      So excited for the next POTC installment. May 26th, 2017, friends! "Sticks 'n' stones, luv."   Father, you know my prayers for those who don't acknowledge the Author of their talent. Please, Lord, save them. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

  •      How many novels have you read more than once? I can only recall two, both by Kristen Heitzmann, Secrets and Unforgotten. I loved Lance Michelli. I've read portions of novels over again.
