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. The winner of the drawing is Marianne. Joi please tell us about Letters of Love. Two men fighting for their country. Two women dealing with tragedy alone. 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. One ripped from her because of war, the other by death. Sophia’s grandmother, Lucia Snell, gives her an early inheritance; letters written to her by her…

Winds of Wyoming
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.

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.…

Where Would You Go?
My oldest will graduate from high school in 2014. Recently I asked him if he could go anywhere for one last vacation with the family before he becomes an adult where he would like to go. Then I qualified that it had to be within driving distance i.e. not more than six hours.:) His answer didn’t come as much of a surprise. He wants to see a Seahawks game and spend a night in Seattle. Sounds like fun to me too. What about you? If you could go anywhere where would you go? I hope you are all enjoying the new Monday format. Be sure to check back on Monday…
