Book Giveaway and Guest Interview with IAN ACHESON, Author of ANGELGUARD

Ian Acheson, Author of ANGELGUARD From the moment I read an interview with Ian Acheson here at Elaine Stock’s blog, Everyone’s Story, I knew I had to read his supernatural book ANGELGUARD. I’m a big THIS PRESENT DARKNESS fan, and this series sounded right up my alley. I was also impressed with how Ian stuck with his dream for ten… Read More

NaNoWriMo–Is it worth it?

Just wanted to share some of my NaNo experience from waaay back in January, 2009. My friend, Sara Harvey, challenged another friend (Janet Berry–her NaNo post is here: http://heatherdaygilbert.blogspot.com/2011/09/googling-handguns-for-greater-good-by.html) and me to join her in writing a book in a month–only not the “proper” month of November–we did it in January. Jan broke down our writing schedule into words per… Read More

BOOK REVIEW: THE TELLING by Mike Duran

I don’t often venture into book reviews as blogposts, but this book warranted more coverage than my Goodreads review. I won THE TELLING in an online contest on Mike Duran’s blogspot, http://mikeduran.com/. I knew Mike wrote speculative fiction for the CBA, and I’d been intrigued. I was one of the early, feverish fans of Frank Peretti. As far as I’m… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–MIKE DURAN–THE TELLING

This is kind of hilarious, since Mike Duran and I are kinda like polar opposites on our views of vulgar language in the CBA, an issue highly debated right now in Christian writing circles (I’d love to get your views of that below!). Here’s Mike’s recent post, in which he does quote me…http://mikeduran.com/2012/06/answering-the-weaker-brother-defense/. Yes, I was the one asking about… Read More

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 ā€œcame backā€ 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.
