Letters to the Lord: He Who Guards Our Comings and Goings
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 … Read More Letters to the Lord: He Who Guards Our Comings and Goings
Letters to the Lord: The Truffula Tree and a Giveaway
Dear Lord, September was quite an event-filled month as I flew from France to the US to begin our six-month stay in the States.

Across the sunroom from me is a little nook that I call … Read More Letters to the Lord: The Truffula Tree and a Giveaway

Good News, Bad News, and Amazing News
In an unexpected twist of events, you all did such an amazing job helping to spread the word about my new book and preordering from Baker that we ran out of signed book plates and we won’t be able to get more before the books are shipped out on release day.

Letters to the Lord: A Countdown Q & A
It’s countdown time–two weeks before the release of my new novel, By Way of the Moonlight. Yikes! The months and weeks preceding the launch of a novel can be a bit stressful for us authors.

Letters to the Lord: Signing My Life Away
One of the great joys for an author, at least for this author, is meeting my readers in person. I have had the privilege over the past twenty-five years of signing books in bookstores across the Southeast and many other states as well in France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Norway. I’ve also been in churches , conferences, the den of a book club gathering, … Read More Letters to the Lord: Signing My Life Away
Letters to the Lord: Thankful Tuesday
Thanksgiving Week passed in a delightfully chaotic and joyful blur, Lord. At one point on Thursday, twenty-five of us ranging in age from 20 months to 87 years were spread around my father’s house. We managed to gather all the family in the front yard before eating the meal. The sky was cobalt blue and the mood was high. And we were deeply grateful. … Read More Letters to the Lord: Thankful Tuesday

Letters to the Lord: Savor
As we are packing to return to the States for at least four months, my mind is a blur of emotions. Such a short time in France, yet so rich. In seven short weeks, we’ve soaked in the wonder of Your people and Your work in France, Lord. My spiritual director has often encouraged me to savor the good, good gifts that come our … Read More Letters to the Lord: Savor

Letters to the Lord: Georgia Author of the Year Finalist
All I can say is “Thank you”, Lord. And Merci! I had no thought of receiving this honor, especially since I was entered in the category of Literary Fiction with very talented authors from the general market–not the inspirational market. But on Saturday, as I lay sick in bed at a lodge in Western Kentucky (where I was supposed to be enjoying a family … Read More Letters to the Lord: Georgia Author of the Year Finalist
