Jazzy Hatmaker’s Heart Giveaway!
There’s nothing quite so sweet as the release of a new book, of holding it in my hands for the first time and getting a whiff of that new paper smell. In a blink, the late nights at the computer and the months that were at times agonizing are gone. It’s not unlike holding a human baby and forgetting the …
Sing For Me by Karen Halvorsen Schreck
I love everything about this book from the title to the evocative cover to the wonderful story inside and most of all, its author, Karen Halvorsen Schreck. I’m not sure when Karen and I first became acquainted, but we met in person for the first time last fall. I instantly connected with her and her style of writing and passion …
A Walk in the Park
New York! New York! My heart is stolen. You were all that you promised and more. Bright lights. The murmur of a hundred languages. Boots. Everyone wears boots in New York.

Joanne Bischoff and Mountain Music
Mountain Music I’m in awe of Joanne Bischoff and her lyrical stories set in Appalachia. With the third installment of her Cadence of Grace stories coming out next month, I invited her to share with you. Welcome, Joanne! One of the questions I am asked the most is why I chose to set the Cadence of Grace series in …
Take time to look . . .
Georgia O’Keeffe. This quote is on a plaque outside Santa Fe’s Georgia O’Keeffe research center which I didn’t see because I didn’t take time to look. I did snap this gorgeous picture of the garden outside and then skipped on by, waiting on the corner wondering what was taking my sisters so long. They took time to look, to absorb …
