Self-Published Authors, Reviewers, and Book Readers, I Need Advice

Hello there friends.

I have a dilemma, and perhaps someone might have advice.

The Near Future

With society polarized, inflation skyrocketing, war, and nefarious occurrences across the globe, what does the future look like? If things continue to get worse, might humanity be seeking hope?

As for me, I’ve been seeking hope for humanity for over a decade now. This is why I wrote Through His Disciples’ Eyes. What might the near future look like if things don’t change soon?

Julia

There was this girl—teenager, really—whose soul was deeply troubled. All she wanted was for someone to love her, but abandonment and abuse were all she received. Abandoned and abused by the people who were supposed to love and take care of her. And who knew that writing it all out in her diary would be the catalyst to change her life forever? 👇👇👇

Tobias

There was this guy—a man who masked deep-seeded anguish by taking control of situations and wielding authority. He lived sixty years ago. The fellow was an evangelical who had it out for anyone he believed blasphemed the Bible. He made sure to set them straight about the “inerrant word of God.”

Character

My favorite books when I was a kid and into adulthood have always been fictional characters who stick in my mind long after I finished reading. This is why I love to create characters who are rich in . . . well, character! I hope readers get so familiar with the people they are reading about that they feel as if they are friends—feel for them when they screw up and wish they could give them advice.

Sore Spot

Every time I think I know who I am, life throws me a curveball and I’m whacked up side the head.

Good Cheer

I’m popping in today for some Christmas cheer. Grab a hot cocoa or a hot toddy and let’s have some cheerful, heartwarming fun with quotes about this holiday.

Writing Emotion

Emotion.

That’s what I write about. It’s a human thing that fascinates me.

Advent Happenings

So, life is busy here through the holiday season. How ’bout by you?

On my way to an appointment last Friday, it was raining, which was good, because we haven’t had any precipitation in quite a while. Just a light, steady rain. Nothing stormy.

I needed to drive fifteen miles to get to my destination, and I had no idea that just a few miles could make such a huge difference in weather patterns here in Illinois.

She Liked It!

Excited to share Anneli’s post about my novel Through His Disciples’ Eyes! 

It’s Heeerre!

After more than a decade of trying to figure out how to get this story out of my head and onto the book pages . . .

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

Novel Surprise

Remember when I wrote a post about how I have found some wonderfully, talented blogging and author friends? I said they are such kind, thoughtful and helpful people.

Inspired Sale

I’m very fortunate to have found some wonderful, talented blogging and author friends. I mean, such kind, thoughtful and helpful people.

If I’m being honest, there aren’t too many of them … perhaps a half-dozen, who have really made an impact on my life just through a computer screen.

One of them is Jill Weatherholt. I am honored that today Jill is featuring my novel, Whit’s End. On her blog, you can read what gave me the initial idea for my novel. And, also go there to click on my book and get it on sale for .99 cents this weekend only, January 20 -22 (2017).

Comments are closed here, but I’ll be happy to join in with the comments over at Jill’s blog. Would love to read your thoughts. The link to her post is HERE.

Old Scars

Winter Cyclone

We’ve had six inches of snow or better for the last three weekends in a row. On top of that, my husband and I had a cyclone hit our house. It was named JNC. A picture of it is below.
