As an aspiring author, one of the things I need to do is begin building my "tribe." That's the group of people who will help my books be successful once they're published. Facebook friends, blog followers, Pinterest pinners, GoodReads readers, and so on. Fortunately,...
It's All Subjective (But that's just my opinion)
I didn't make the finals in the Genesis contest for unpublished authors of Christian fiction. There. I entered the contest primarily for the feedback and was delighted when I was named a semi-finalist. Amazing how my ambitions suddenly soared after that! But now the...
A little too much caution?
I get a kick out of "As-Seen-On-TV" products. Do we really need a pan that bakes pre-cut brownies? Or a tool to crack eggs? I've never really struggled with either task. But every now and then I think, hey, that's a good idea. I'd seen the Magic Mesh door screen over...
Black Raspberries & Writing
I love black raspberries. I am NOT fond of the perfumy red ones. We had a thriving black raspberry patch just off the back porch when I was a kid. Mom would make pie and jelly and bowls of berries with sugar and cream. But best of all was just standing in the yard...

Perseverance – Guest Post by Stacy Hart
There's a mole in our yard. How do we know? Snickers! Snickers is my brother and sister-in-law's dog. We're currently keeping her while they're working in Chile as missionaries. Snickers loves to dig holes especially when there's a mole in the area. I've been learning...
Bloom Where You're Planted
I love to go hiking in the spring just so I can ferret out wildflowers. Trout lilies, showy orchis, trillium and dwarf iris are all pretty common in my area. The real prizes are lady slippers (I've found pink, but never yellow), shooting stars and the trailing arbutus...
