A Picture is Worth a Thousand . . . Page Views
It's true. I've read--in several places--that the way to engage folks on your Facebook author page is with pictures. Having recently set-up just such a page, I decided to test this hypothesis. Most of the posts on my page thus far have been links to this blog. Because...
Celebratory Eats–What Do You Like?
If you're like me, celebrations are often built around food. Shoot, most of my life is built around food, but that's another post. When I got the news that a publisher actually wanted my novel, my first thought (after the squealing died down and I praised God) was how...
It Never Happens Like This OR God's Book Deal

Trading Downton Abbey for The Bible
I was pretty disappointed with the final few episodes of Downton Abbey this season, mostly because the writing just wasn't up to the standard set in seasons one and two. But never mind. There's something new on television Sunday nights. The Bible. Here's the...
Working on a Working Title
