When a crow says an intelligent thing, chickens may laugh at it. This is the laughing of the sand castles at the powerful waves! ~Mehmet Murat ildan Crows play a part in my new book, When the Meadow Blooms. In fact, a story about ravens bringing gifts to a girl who had fed them was one of the flashes of inspiration for …
The almost surprised look that death had frozen on his face didn’t matter now. What mattered was why the man was there on the Hidden Springs Courthouse steps where folks didn’t get murdered. At least never until tod ay. (From Murder at the Courthouse) Only two more mystery photos for this Mystery Photo Game including the one here. That’s probaby …
“The less you reveal, the more people can wonder.” ~Emma Watson A few years ago, maybe when I published my first Hidden Spring mystery, Murder at the Courthouse, I decided to celebrate writing a mystery by having a mystery photo game.

“Mothers are like glue. Even when you can’t see them, they’re still holding the family together.” —Susan Gale I hope you had a blessed Mother’s Day.

I always love it when a young character shows up in my stories. It’s fun to look at what’s happening through a child’s eyes. I often have kids in my books. At times, my kids are central to the story as Sienna is in my upcoming release, When the Meadow Blooms. Sienna is such a great little girl to get …
Have you ever wondered about some of the traditions we have about Easter? Of course, you know why Christians celebrate this Resurrection Sunday when Christ arose and defeated death. That is what gives the Christian hope. “He is not here, but is risen!” Luke 24:6 (NKJ) But what about some of the other traditions such as why we dress up …
Only a couple more weeks until the release of my new book, When the Meadow Blooms. So I thought this would be a good time to share some outakes or scenes cut from the book before it was published.
