Spraying, Hoeing, and Writing.
It’s been a busy time around here, what with multiple priorities to manage at work, a staff that’s one man short (guess who gets to do the extra work?) and of course preparing for this year’s American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Conference in Minneapolis later this week. It’s a particularly exciting conference for me, because [...]
Writer Cycle, Cat Cycle, People Cycle.
Yes, I know. It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog entry. All of my writing time has been obsessively focused on two major priorities: sending out proposals for Inheriting Air (and I might add, sending out a manuscript or two) and finishing The Voice, the novel that made me a finalist in [...]
Writer Coaster

My Makeup Case
It’s not every day that I’m complimented on my makeup, and that’s probably a good thing. Over the past couple of days, I’ve received several such compliments however, and accepted them graciously.
Our church presented its annual musical Christmas drama this past weekend, and in honor of the event I pulled and old friend from the [...]
A Ridgecrest Goodbye–and Guest Blogging, too.
Well, here I am again, writing another “farewell to Ridgecrest” entry from Rocking Chair Ridge. The first Blue Ridge Mountains Advanced Novel Retreat is officially history. The final time of worship (lunch ) is over, and I’m at that saddest of moments–having to say Goodbye to Ridgecrest until next time.
God is everywhere. We [...]
