Some bestselling authors have the best of intentions. They want to have conversations with their readers, but after trying to converse via emails or other venues, it proves to be more time consuming than they can justifiably handle – especially when they're researching or writing their next novel.  Others are recluses from the start.

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.

Friday might bring anything your way. How about a snippet from my one and only mystery novel? Yes, there's a romantic thread, but it's not the focus. Since I tend to primarily read thrillers, mystery, and suspense, you'd think it would've have been easier to write a mystery. It was not. But I did it…

From a very long time ago, one of my favorites of myself. It was an interesting time of life.    Father, I didn't meet Jesus for several years after this. You rescued me from myself when my heart was ready to understand. Thank you for your grace, patience, mercy, and love. No comparison, nothing, no…

Because back cover copy and blurbs matter. Special thanks to reader Tammi Roberts Pulley and fabulous bestselling author Karin Kaufman respectively for their personal recommendations on these two back covers.  My other novels . . .    Father, please continue to shine your face upon Tammi and Karin as they pursue what you have for…

  Once upon a time Neil Young was one of my favorites. With his unusual voice, interesting lyrics, and guitar mastery, he produced some great songs. From a long time ago, when I enjoyed his music . . .    Father, you know hearts and minds in all of us. May each artist learn from…
