As you may already know, the ACLJ has been engaged in a global effort to save the life of an Iranian Christian Pastor who has been condemned to death by hanging for his Christian faith. His only crime: He embraced Christianity and, for that, has been sentenced to death by the Muslim-controlled government of…

The CFBA Tour for the final week in September features Dangerous Mercy by Kathy Herman. The second suspense novel in the three-book Secrets of Roux River Bayou Series, Dangerous Mercy takes place in the fictional small town of Les Barbes, Louisiana, where the Cajun food, music, and talk provide all kinds of entertainment for…

Hard-wired for it, I can't remember that thing called romance never being with me. Not in the gushy, girly-girl, over-the-top kind of way. Not that I can fault that. It is what it is. But rather so deep in my soul that it covers everything else. It rises to a three note tune and…
