Turkey or Ham?


Hello friends!

Holidays can be so hard. Especially if we have lost a loved one. If you have followed me for awhile, you know that I lost my dad a couple of years ago. I really struggled with moving forward and I just felt stuck. If you feel this, I have written about moving through grief with grace on my blog. You can read more here.

I want to thank all of you for following me on this writing journey. I could not do any of this without your prayers, love, and support. I truly hope your Thanksgiving is happy and blessed. We do have so much to be thankful for!

Enjoy your day and let me know which one you prefer-Turkey or Ham for the holidays?

Happy Thanksgiving!

We've also rearranged some of my children's rooms and...

Greetings Friends! First, I would like to say welcome to our new subscribers! We added a few friends from my Pittsburgh and Winnsboro encounters! It was great meeting new authors and readers at these events. My newsletters usually contain book news, books I've been reading, and always a winner for a free e-book! This newsletter is special because you get to vote for the book cover for my third book, A Wisp of Grace. I can't wait to see which one you will pick! The back cover copy for the book...
