  • Throwback Thursday

                  From back in July of 2022, not too long ago this post is called "My telltale prose . . .". What does my writing tell you about me? I'm an open book. My tagline and product description lay the groundwork for learning who I am from my stories.…

  • A worthy promotion

                            I'm not a Historical Fiction reader, but many of you are. And when Tosca Lee is part of the writing team, you know it will be a terrific novel. As you can see from the picture, it is now available, has received a…

                It seems people either love them or hate them, but they produced mega-hits over the years. You might not be able to classify this as a classic love song, but it's pretty much the best you'll get in that category from the Rolling Stones.    Lord, only you know…

  • Collaboration?

                                                          Many authors have successfully collaborated on their novels. Some have become consistent writing partners for a particular series. Others have made rare partnerships for a specific novel. In…

  • Throwback Thursday

                                Messing with my new 35mm Konica camera, a birthday gift for me from my parents right before my trip of a lifetime to Great Britain and Europe which lasted almost 3 months. An incredible journey with a friend.    Father, thank…

  • Necessary Differences?

                Obviously, there are differences between Christian Fiction and General Market (Secular) Fiction. Although certainly not in every General Market novel, many contain expletives/cursing/profanity, and some contain graphic sexual calisthenics which could qualify as literary pornography. To find either of those in Christian Fiction would be shocking to most Christian…

              That silky smooth voice of the late great Nat King Cole singing this famous love song.    Father, you are Love. And only you know all the facets of perfect love. Thank you for sharing your love with us. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. …

  • Revisiting “Confessions of an Author” . . .

                I believe in self-discipline. I'm just not terribly good at it. I have a tendency to learn the hard way through the mistakes I make – many of them due to being stubborn about certain things.  Writing is not something I can control or order. Yes, I know: there…
