I’ve posted a picture of a friend named Diane, standing between a script-writer friend named Kathie and yours truly, taken at a recent writers’ conference where Kathie and I were on faculty together. Diane graciously posted this picture on Facebook … Continue reading
What Makes Christian Books “Christian”–and Does It Matter?
What is the identifying mark of Christian books/writing? This is a question I’ve asked a lot of people, not just writers and other professionals in the industry but also readers, since they’re the ones who make choices about which books … Continue reading
AWARENESS BOOKS by Vicki Hinze
Awareness Books Not too long ago, I wrote a book called Deadly Ties. It was the second book in my Crossroads Crisis Center series and it dealt with human trafficking. That was a subject that had been … Continue reading
Will Reading as a Pastime Survive? by Kathi Macias

Fiction vs. NonFiction Popularity by Kathi Macias
I just returned from a lovely–albeit far too brief–visit to Canada, where I did the 100 Huntley Street program and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a bit of a surprise, though, when I discovered that rather than discussing my newest … Continue reading

We’ve Never Done It This Way Before….
A pastor once told me there were seven words that could kill a church’s growth: “We’ve never done it this way before.” I think those seven deadly words can apply to writing too. I started in this book writing/publishing business … Continue reading
