Change by Kristen Heitzmann
As I sit in this first cold snap and see hanging baskets with darkened, withered leaves and tiny pellets of brittle snow skittering across the balcony, I feel change coming. The geraniums are still blooming pink and unfazed. The grass … Continue reading

Banned Book Week: Have You Read These Challenged and/or Banned Classics? By Julie Arduini
This week is Banned Book Week. I thought I would share, courtesy of the American Library Association, the classic books that have most often been challenged for removal or outright banned. Have you read any of these? The Great Gatsby, … Continue reading

Readers, Writers, and Book Clubs
As my speaking engagements explode and I find myself on the road nearly as often as I’m home writing my next book, I must admit that of all the groups I speak to–writers’ conferences, women’s retreats, church and civic events–there’s … Continue reading
A “Perfect” Book
I’m going to piggyback my post with Beth’s from yesterday. The ACFW awards gala was amazing. It was a special evening to recognize winners in published and published fiction. The air felt weighty with anticipation: whose work will win the … Continue reading

Novel Recommendations by Elizabeth Goddard
I can’t believe I’m the first one to post on this! I returned from the American Christian Fiction Writer’s Conference on Sunday with an armload of books to read. Usually, I don’t bring too many books back because it’s tough … Continue reading
The Writer-Reader Relationship posted by Maureen Lang
When I finish a book I’ve really enjoyed, I usually go online to check out a few things. First and most importantly, I look to see what else this writer has published. Secondly, I want to take a peek at … Continue reading
Powerful Messages
The most powerful messages are often those simply spoken from the heart… I saw this video for Mary’s new book and it was so real, so powerful… I just had to share it.
The Joy of Reading
Many of the posts recently are about reading, so I’ll jump in and mention what I’m reading. I have several shelves of books in the garage (although gave away half of them when I moved in my present home, which … Continue reading

Older Life-Changing Books by Julie Arduini
It’s been a peculiar reading year for me. Although I’ve enjoyed reviewing new releases on my website, my life-changing reads this year aren’t from 2012. Not even close. Of course the Bible is a daily read and a life-changer, but … Continue reading
Renewal by Kristen Heitzmann
I am constantly amazed by renewal. After the fire that so deeply impacted my community and me personally, I’m seeing signs of life where no life looked possible. Green shoots and leaves thrusting up through blackened ground. I see crews … Continue reading

How Do You Choose a Book? by Elizabeth Goddard
When you visit your local bookstore and browse the books, what are you looking for? What catches your attention—the author’s name, the cover art, or the back of the book blurb that tells you what the story is about. Then … Continue reading

Authors Responding to Reviews? Posted by Maureen Lang
My daughter is an Amazon Vine Reviewer, meaning she’s earned the spot by reading and reviewing a great number of books. Every once in a while she receives a note from an author—usually short and sweet, thanking her for her … Continue reading
Favorite Reading Spots?
I moan and groan a lot about having to travel so much, but I shouldn’t. Not only does it show an ungrateful attitude, but it fails to recognize two important (and very positive) points: 1) My speaking invitations/engagements are obviously … Continue reading
What’s in a word?
I love pizza. I love Saturday morning breakfast. I love the full moon. I love swimming at twilight. I love my cat. I love my husband. I love hearing the still small Voice. One word and so many different meanings. … Continue reading
