    kids no coat

    We were headed off to get our Christmas tree and just as everyone was on their way out to the truck, I noticed that nobody was wearing a coat. The kids all claimed they didn't need coats because they were wearing layers, never mind that temperatures have been below zero around here for days.  Read more >

    “I dwell in possibility,” wrote Emily Dickinson. I don’t know exactly what she meant by those words, but as a fellow writer and lover of gardens (sometimes I don’t dare call myself a real gardener), I have a few ideas.  Read more >

    I sometimes get asked why I went with a Christian publisher for my first two novels and my answer is that 1) my book’s characters were searching for faith (among other things), 2) my agent at the time (who had strong ties to Christian publishing) thought it could go in either market, but that the Christian market would be the most receptive, and 3) I happen to be a Christian myself and I felt that a Christian publisher wouldn’t attempt to tone down a character’s Christian faith journey just to be politically correct.  Read more >

    It feels great to have finished a novel that I’ve been working on for a very long time. I appreciate all of the encouragement my readers and writing friends have given me through this blog and on the social networking sites. I didn’t write this particular book with a publisher in mind, so I’m not sure what is going to happen, but I have a ton of faith that, God-willing, this book will be in your hands someday.  Writing this book was so hard. I wanted the process to challenge me and test my skill as writer and I feel like it did.  Read more >
