Cat stories and the internet seem to go together like shoes and feet. Or water and ducks. Or, well you get the idea. But what about Christmas and cats? I’m not sure about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a cat was slinking about the shadows in that Bethlehem stable I’m having another giveaway. You can check it out …
A Season of Thanksgiving
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. (William Arthur Ward) I do feel thankful that I have been blessed in so many ways throughout my life. At our church Sunday, we had the opportunity to speak up and name some of our blessings and reasons for thanksgiving. Many of us could have …
New Book – Freak of the Week
Books come in all sizes for all types of readers. I’ve jumped around in some of those types. I’ve written for the general market and the Christian market. I’ve written for young adults and for middle readers. I’ve even written a picture book that hasn’t made it out to readers yet. I’ve written historical romance, mysteries, Shaker stories and family …
Thanksgiving Feasts and Recipes

Caption Giveaway Contest Picture 3
Thank you all so much for playing my caption game. It’s fun to read all your imagined captions. Ola and Kathleen nailed what really happened on the day I took that picture with their spider captions. That’s what really happened. Her sister on the couch beside her has just pointed out that a spider was on her skirt. Now, it’s …

November Caption Contest Giveaway
How about a new caption contest? I haven’t given any books away for a little while. So let’s have a little fun. We did this caption contest a few months ago and it was fun. That was because you all are so imaginative and witty. You came up with fun or wise words to put in the mouths of the …
A Journal Entry in The Gifted
Do you like to e-read? Well, maybe you’re like me and enjoy the physical feel of the book in your hands better, but then sometimes an attractive price will convince me to read on my iPad. Especially if it’s a book I’ve heard about or an author I want to give a try. That’s what the publishers are hoping when …
