Sorry about the lack of entries. Last week was a mess. Now Rachel is ill, so my life has been in an upheaval, both career- and personal-wise. I’ll try to do better.
Now to a little business. OCTOBER brings two changes here. I’m adding a newsletter and a contest. The contest will run throughout the quarter, [...]

Dreaming

Sep

2008

Writers do a lot of dreaming, much of it while fully awake. And I plan to do some this afternoon. But right now, I’m paying bills and staying at home because of Nashville’s gas shortage, so I suddenly felt the need for a little childhood nostaglia. And I felt like sharing what happens to be [...]

Final Blog Interview, Updates, Prayers – and Thanks

Sep

2008

The release of The Face of Deceit has been quite different from the first book’s release. I’m more involved online with pages on MySpace and Facebook, as well as in two of the major writers’ groups, RWA and ACFW, and their local groups. I’m even listed as a speaker on the RWA site. I’m doing [...]

Just two quick notes. 1) I’m guesting on another blog. Check out Lena Dooley’s A Chrisian Writer’s World. Lena’s great, an excellent lady, and I appreciate her giving me the opportunity. And, as usual, you can win a free book!
2) I’ve joined Facebook. Yep, part of my efforts to establish my work and my “brand” [...]

Legacy

Today, I am remembering.
For most of us, the morning of September 11, 2001, galvanized us. While NYC seemed to be on the brink of extinction (after all, we had no idea if the attack had finished), the rest of the country stared at their televisions, unable to believe, unable to move. Yet, even as we [...]

Release Day

No Comments

Today is one of mixed blessings. Some wonderful joys and some upsets as well. Good news, bad news. Life.
I like good news first, and mine came at 8:30 this morning. My editor accepted my revision on The Taking of Carly Bradford. *little squeals of joy through wet hair and half-blind eyes*. Then I remembered that [...]

Phyllis update – and a little more promo

Sep

2008

Phyllis is still “down in her back,” as we say down South. When I talked to her yesterday, she was perkier (relatively speaking), and can move around some. But still no stretching or lifting until after her neurology appointment on 9/17. Please keep her in your prayers.
And a touch of business. I submitted a news [...]

Phyllis Gentry, who’s been Rachel’s caregiver for more than 10 years, is on her way to the Skyline Medical Center ER with excruciating back pain, a chronic problem left from a severe injury 15 years ago. Now it’s gotten so bad she can barely move.
You can read more about Phyllis and Rachel here.
I’ll keep you [...]
