Stairways have played major roles in my Shaker stories. In most of my Shaker books, I’ve let my characters wonder why it’s so important to follow the Shaker rule of always stepping on the first step with one’s right foot. Unity was very important to the Shakers and they believed if each member did such things the same that would …
If you’re old enough, you might remember when people used to say you couldn’t get anything for a nickel anymore? But now it’s more like you can’t get much for a dollar these days. When I was a kid you could actually get a candy bar for a nickel and a piece of bubblegum or a sucker for a penny. …
The Seeker, my Shaker book set during the first two years of the Civil War, is on special e-book sale this week for $1.99 or less on most e-book sites.

Those messages …
The letters on the keypads of my keyboard are disappearing. You think that means I’ve typed too many words? Look at it! The n and m are completely gone. The l is going, and the e is half gone. And the e key is worse than disappearing. It’s collapsing. Still works, thank goodness. Can you imagine trying to write anything …
Here I am with Virginia Smith, writer and great keynote speaker at the Kentucky Christian Writers Conference. Ginny did a great job of firing up all us writers at the conference with her three speeches on The Road to Publication. She told us about her bumpy road as a writer when she went for years without selling any of her …

It’s fun when the doorbell rings and it’s the Fed Ex driver bringing a new book. Especially when it’s your new book or I suppose in this case – my new book! The Seeker is all printed and ready to go. This was an early rush “so I could see it first” copy but the others will soon be on …
