I’ve reached into my blog archives again tonight with a reworked post of Shaker sayings. The Innocent on e-book sale has me thinking Shakers and it is Shaker Wednesday or was when I posted this. 🙂 Every week on my Facebook author’s page, I do “Shaker Wednesday” where I hunt up some bit of Shaker history or maybe a picture …
My last Shaker book, released in 2015, is on e-book sale this week. Price is really good for the rest of today, Sunday. $1.99 or less according to where you buy your e-books.

Didn’t Emily share an inspiring story with us about her Dream Team on Sunday? Thanks to all of you who stopped by to read about Emily and the many women who have helped her live her dream of going to college. I offered to give a copy of Angel Sister to one of those who commented on Emily’s post, but …
Today I have a special guest on One Writer’s Journal. Emily Shanahan. Feel free to check out Emily’s website to read more of her amazing story.

It’s not every day that you chance upon a man who can sing an Elvis song in German. But sometimes you do chance upon the most interesting people when you travel.
