Are You A Kayak Reader or a Speedboat Reader? Plus a Trio of Giveaways.
As a kayaker, in addition to learning how to instantly turn 180 degrees when sighting an alligator draped across the narrow channel ahead, I’ve learned one other important survival skill.

Read MoreFiction Friday: Sarah’s Third Letter from Endless Chain
Beginning on March 21 at Fiction Friday I’ve shared letters written in 1853 from Sarah Miller to Amasa Stone. These were originally published in my novel Endless Chain, book two of my Shenandoah Album series.

Omigosh! Pardon me while I hyperventilate. There will be a short intermission. . . Okay, a little better now. You see, I’m blogging about one of my Silhouette Romances, The Trouble With Joe, which has just been re-released, and I thought I would mention when it was first published, so I just checked.

Read MoreSunday Inspiration: The Four Chaplains
This post was scheduled last Sunday to celebrate Easter and Passover, but the change to my new website deleted it. I still want to share it. Both Easter and Passover–-as well as other religious holidays–celebrate great courage, the courage of Jesus who died without compromising his beliefs or faith, and the courage of the Israelites who followed Moses…

Read MoreHere We Go Again: The Brand New Website
Well, if you’re reading this, you found me, yes? I’m so glad you did because we had just the tiniest snafus getting the new website up. Easter’s Sunday Inspiration disappeared during the changeover, and for a while people with Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions were seeing a fine mess indeed. By the way, if…
