I sent out a newsletter last week with some book news (mainly that Angel Sister was on e-book sale for cheap, cheap, cheap, but the sale may end tomorrow.) I always have a giveaway in a newsletter, and I often ask if those who respond for the giveaway want to share some kind of story. Usually some of you do …
“My Name is Lorena Birdsong”
Angel Sister is still on e-book sale for a few more days, but the sale is almost over. The book was featured on BookBub and had a sweet run on Amazon Kindle to be a number one seller in Christian Historical Fiction for a couple of days. The price is 79 cents. A reader can give a book a try for …
Behind the Scenes of Angel Sister
My book, Angel Sister is on e-book sale this week. You can grab a copy for your e-reader for less than one dollar. 99 cents on some sites. 79 cents on others. I can’t even begin to come up with a price per word that might be. Way less that 9 cents per chapter. But it’s fun to have the …

But do you know the origin of Valentine’s Day? Actually there are several different legends, but I like this one. Long, long ago, around 268 A.D. in the …
The Strange Phenomenon of Wordnesia

You know the word but suddenly you have no idea how to spell it. Or perhaps you have written a word, but it doesn’t look right. Maybe the word couch for example. All …
A February Spring Day
The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within. ~William Cullen Bryant Sometimes Mother Nature gives us a wintertime gift. We got such a gift today here in Kentucky with plentiful sunshine and the temperature zooming up to 68 degrees. Let me repeat that! Sixty-eight degrees on February 3rd. What makes it even more …
