Should You Become a Foster Parent? An Interview Series (#1)

I’m kicking off a new series on foster care, because it’s been a big burden of my heart to share honest information with those who’ve been thinking about embarking on this path. Other foster parents certainly helped us get through that confusing period when you’re plunged into the system and you have no idea what to expect. If you find this series… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–Goethe

Okay, so I fully admit that I haven’t read much, if any, Goethe. (But I can say it with a cool German accent!) Today’s quote was just something that made me smile, especially as the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference is coming up and I am bummed, yes, BUMMED about not going this year. This is soley because I’ve… Read More

Wildflowers from Winter Bloghop–A Move of Obedience

Today, I’m joining in a Wildflowers from Winter bloghop, the brainchild of my writer friend, Katie Ganshert. Her blog link is here: http://katieganshert.com/blog/.

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
