Paradox of Love


Happy Valentines!

With Valentine's Day this week, I decided to share my word for the 2024 year-- Love!

Do you struggle with loving other people? Where does that love come from? Click the pic below to read all about it!

CONGRATS TO This month's free ebook winner, Heleneneely1217. Be on the lookout for your ebook in the next few days!

I recently went to a marketing conference in Austin, TX and met some fantastic authors! I can't wait to share some of their books with you!

One of the big decisions I have to make is how to publish my next book. The publishing agency I was with is going in a different direction, and now I am faced with going with another publisher or ultimately going indie! Do you have a preference when you are reading books? Do you only read traditionally published books or give an indie author a chance? Please reply back and let me know! I greatly value your opinion!!

Author Spotlight:

Children's Author Melissa Ray

I had the opportunity to meet Melissa Ray at a book conference a couple of years ago. I love her books and the much-needed message she brings to the world. Her children's books are inspired by her grandpa, a sharecropper who later worked for NASA!

You can check out my interview with her on YouTube. Her books are available on Amazon and her website, www.melissalray.com

Hi friends, I’m going to be a little vulnerable here. I launched a Kickstarter to fund the audiobook for A Wisp of Faith, and with 20 days left, I’m only at 3%. Audiobooks are expensive to produce, and I truly can’t do this without your support. I believe this story matters — especially for people who don’t have time to sit and read, or who find comfort in listening. My goal is just $600, which covers basic narration costs. If you’ve ever enjoyed my writing, encouraged me, or believed in what...

Happy New Years! It's hard to believe we are almost through January! I am so excited for this coming year. As many of you know, I have tried recording an audiobook on my own. It was a fail. Instead of giving up on that dream, I have enlisted the help of a professional narrator. Her name is Lisa Sandlin, and she is a closed-door/cozy mystery narrator, perfect for the voice of this series! I am running a Kickstarter campaign to help cover production costs. I feel strongly about having a human...

Greetings Great Readers! Several years ago I began to read my Bible through in a year. As a result, my confidence and faith in the Lord has grown tremendously. It is amazing how many times you read His Word new things are made known. If you are interested in reading your Bible through in a year, I have created a monthly Bible calendar of Scripture readings.
