Have you ever launched into a new project, hobby, or job and then trained for it in your sleep? The first time I experienced this phenomenon was when I was hired to be a cashier at Woolworth’s five-and-dime store. I was thrilled to have a job that didn’t involve watching the neighbor’s kids or delivering newspapers at 4 a.m. Maybe …
I’ve been ruminating on this blog post for several days, since chatting with a good author-friend of mine about SudoWrite. In case you’re not familiar with this software program, it’s a tool for writers to create content. Many authors (including those who write for the Christian market) are using it to craft their novels. Which begs the question: Is it …
I have a feeling I’m late to the party (what else is new?) regarding this review of Dan Walsh’s historical fiction, The Deepest Waters. It was released in 2011, and if I hadn’t stumbled upon a rave review on Facebook, I wouldn’t have known the book (or the author) even existed. Thank you, faithful fan, for posting yours. Before …
Every morning after an hour of quiet time with the Lord, my husband and I will work out in our home gym—it’s a fancy name for that portion of our garage that houses an elliptical, treadmill, and some free weights. I admit I need a distraction while running on the treadmill or doing squats because I get easily bored. For …

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to …
Do you ever consider what goes into a novel written for the Christian market? I suppose it’s different for every author, but for this one, it has been a lifelong faith journey. And it began with a passion for stories. My love for books was born in a local library when I was barely old enough to read. I’d troll …
It’s the time of year when many churches bring the three J’s together—Jesus, joy, and juice boxes. Although in the case of our church, juice boxes come in the form of sweet tea and lemonade. But that would make for an awkward (and non-alliterative) title. Like most moms, I am sometimes riddled with regrets about how I parented my kids. …
The catalyst for the setting of my Norfolk Southern Series in Chattanooga was the railroad. Everyone has heard of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo—or at least the hit song from 1941 made popular by the Glenn Miller Band. No, I wasn’t alive back then, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the music of that era. The Chattanooga Choo-Choo was a …
We hear about tragedies every day. They occur so often that we can easily become desensitized by them, unless they impact us directly. On Mother’s Day, there was a six-car pile-up on Highway 75 near Chattanooga, but it didn’t become real until a friend showed me a picture of one of the families horrifically impacted by this accident—the Smiths. The …
