September and October have been a blur of comings and goings for me. I’ve shared many times this verse from Psalm 121: “The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”
Well, He has and here are a few photos to prove it!
I flew from Lyon, France to Chicago in early September to meet my wonderful retired editor and friend, LB Norton, and drive with her to St. Louis, MO for the American Christian Fiction Writers’ (ACFW) Conference.
I also had the joy of reconnecting with many other author friends.
The official Launch Party for By Way of the Moonlight was held at Wes and Anne French’s lovely home in Atlanta.
It’s always a joy to be back at The Swan Coach House in Atlanta to sign books.
Then Paul and I joyfully reconnected with friends at my beloved childhood church, Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist, to share about our ministry and sign books
Late in September, I flew to Grand Rapids, Michigan to be with Lynn Austin, an award winning and bestselling author who I also call a great friend.
My sweet cousin, Allene, organized a lovely luncheon and book signing at the Athens Country Club in Athens, GA.
And I had the privilege of speaking and signing books at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, GA. Paul’s sister, Janet, has attended this church for many years. She is serving the Lord in Kenya right now, but I did get to hug on her daughter, my niece, Leighanne!
I truly have enjoyed each and every one of these book events. As I say often, each time I sign a copy of one of my novels, it feels like I’m getting a hug from the Lord. And meeting my readers in person is such an encouragement and joy.
But the sweetest part of these past two months has been time with the Paul Alan Musser family. For two hours one Sunday, all eleven of us were together for lunch at a Cracker Barrel somewhere between Atlanta and Flintstone.
And having the grandkids here at our home–it doesn’t get sweeter than that!

What a whirlwind of events! And what a lot of ‘hugs from the Lord’! And hugs from friends you haven’t seen in a long time. Wishing you more hugs and especially lots from your sweet grandkids!!
