Tattered Innocence
Happy Thursday, everyone. I have a special treat for you this week. Two giveaways! This may never happen again, so be sure to take advantage. 🙂 Monday’s book is still eligible for the drawing, so please leave a comment under the Unconditional Post if you’d like to be entered. Now for the second opportunity. For a couple of years I tried to write for the young adult genre. It was at that time that I met Ann Miller. She was part of a YA critique book I was in. Now her books are published in a new genre that I am unfamiliar with, but am so pleased it finally exists.…

Be Still
Psalm 46:10 This isn’t the devotion I had originally planned for this morning, but while laying in bed talking myself into getting up, I couldn’t get the verse out of my mind. Recently I had the most amazing experience while being still with God. I had just finished my bible reading and prayer time when it hit me, not for the first time, that communication is two way. I was alone in the house, so absolute silence reigned. I closed my eyes and told God it was His turn. I stilled my thoughts and sat quietly. Suddenly He spoke to me. No, it was in an audible voice, but I…

A heart-shaped diamond ring binds their stories together. You can see a book trailer…

Follow Your Passion
Anyone who knows me can tell that one of my passions is writing. I love it! I enjoy the creative process, I like talking shop, and I like spending several hours a day writing. Basically I simply love everything about writing–except maybe editing. 🙂 This past weekend I was fortunate to attend a one-day writers conference. I don’t know about anyone else, but being around people with same passion as me is inspiring. I hesitated going, but am very glad I made the decision to attend. While there I took a class on writing short. The focus was on devotionals. My plan is to post a few here in the…

Letters of Love
Today I am pleased to welcome Joi Copeland. She will be sharing with us about her book Letters of Love. Before we begin the answer to last weeks question was Bison.

Two different stories, two different eras, one common thread. Sophia Philips, a wife and mom, finds herself missing the two most important people in her life.

Today we get to learn about Winds of Wyoming, but before we do, last weeks winner for the drawing was Nancee. Congratulations! Welcome Rebecca. Please tell us about Winds of Wyoming. Fresh out of a Pennsylvania penitentiary armed with a marketing degree, Kate Neilson heads to Wyoming anticipating an anonymous new beginning as a guest-ranch employee.

Daydreams
I‘m so pleased to have you here today, JoAnn. I’m looking forward to learning about Daydreams. To start off please tell us about your book. Daydreams is a contemporary Christian romantic adventure and the fourth in my Lewis Legacy Series following Awakening, Second Time Around and Twin Hearts. Although it’s the fourth book, it can definitely be read as a standalone novel. I drop enough backstory here and there so the reader can pick right up and join in the fun. This one is a personal favorite; I adore witty bantering between a heroine and her hero, and Daydreams contains some of the snappiest dialogue I’ve written to-date. These books…

Guilt Free
Recently I listened to several stay-at-home moms of young children talk about the guilt they often feel because they are not in the workforce. They expressed feeling as if they always had to be doing something productive to justify staying at home with their children, to the point that even taking a break to read was too much. This broke my heart. People who have jobs get breaks and lunch breaks to do as they please, and believe me, staying at home with children, keeping the house clean, preparing meals, doing the carpool thing etc… is a job–just one that doesn’t pay monetarily. To all you stay-at-home parents please listen.…
