  • My books (Part 8)

    I took great care in the writing of Seeing . . . because of the sensitive subject matter. While it’s the story of a man who becomes a widower at a very young age, it’s also the story of a truck-stop waitress whose life was ruined at the tender age of four. “When a waitress…

  • My books (Part 7)

    As an author, I write love stories heavy on the romance. But I mostly read thrillers, mystery, and suspense. (In previous posts, I explained why I read so little in the romance genre.) However, for literally years, I had a picture in my mind of a murder which took place back on the racetrack. I…

    Oh how I remember this one – very poignant at the time . . .

  • My books (Part 6)

    At some point in the past, I wrote three novels in one year. I haven’t come close to that in recent times. Two of those novels remain unpublished. For one of them entitled The Fixer, I have a cover design and a back-cover blurb. The other one is titled Wounds and Healings, and I don’t…

    Whenever the evil spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” But He gave them strict orders not to tell who He was. Mark 3:11-12 (NIV)

    Hard to forget where you were, how you felt, what you did after learning it . . . Never forget. So many lost. Father, we ask that you would protect this One Nation under God for another season of your making because of your great mercy. Only you can keep America safe through the undermining…

    The late great Nat King Cole, singing with that silky voice in this old favorite “When I Fall in Love.”

  • My books (Part 5)

    Destination has one of my favorite characters of all my creations. Her nicknames are “Grams” to those who know her well and “Henry” (aka Henrietta) to most of the town. She welcomes the protagonist of this story into her home after not seeing him since his parents’ funeral and before that as a little boy.…

  • Sunday’s Offerings

    “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction; and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Jesus) Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

  • My books (Part 4)

    I’m fairly sure Sweet Release was written just after The Famous One. It’s only available as an e-book. As you can tell by the cover, a chance meeting develops into so much more but not without challenges of many kinds. An Architectural Designer inadvertently meets a newspaper Film Critic. My early books were longer novels…
