Perspective by Elizabeth Goddard

The Life in Our Stories
I haven’t blogged here for a few weeks, well, maybe a few months. But life has interfered and not in small ways. My husband and I are risk-takers, and when you’re in ministry, sometimes that means moving. A lot. We’ve … Continue reading

I’m pleased to announce a new release by two Christians Read authors–Elizabeth Goddard (that’s me!) and Lynette Sowell. Lynette and I have been talking about writing a story set in Jackson Hole for years and finally got something submitted last … Continue reading
Great Escapes by Elizabeth Goddard
In previous posts, I’ve often written about reading as an escape. Years ago, I read as much nonfiction as fiction. Self-help books, mostly. But these days I’m all about writing and reading fiction. The last few weeks, several family members … Continue reading
Believe . . . Anyway
Some people are born with innate faith. They don’t seem to work at it; faith just is for them. Others seep into faith—or it seeps into them—as they grow and experience and live life. Still others, some who might be … Continue reading

Christian Fiction v Clean Read: Are You Confused? by Vicki Hinze
Christian Fiction v Clean Read: Are You Confused? In the past few months, I’ve often been asked what is the difference between books that are labeled Christian fiction and books labeled Clean Reads. I thought I’d … Continue reading

Where Do We Get Ideas? by Elizabeth Goddard
Novelists often get ideas from what intrigues us. We’re all different, so what intrigues me will be different than what catches your interest. As a novelist, I hope I find an audience—a group of people with whom my stories resonate—preferably … Continue reading
More on Books Changing Us
I was so fascinated by Maureen’s post that I started to comment, and then decided to make it my post for today. I’ve written a previous blog post or two about how books can change us. Maureen’s points are all valid and … Continue reading
Is Bigger Better?
Just received my author copies for my upcoming release, Riptide, yesterday. Actually I received only four of them because they are the True Large Print versions. Not LARGE PRINT, but TRUE large print. This version is like a trade-sized … Continue reading
