I’ve raised three children on my own. This was the most
difficult pleasurable journey I’ve experienced thus far. I’ve gone from sitting in an audience proudly gleaming while two of my kids were awarded national dance championship titles to waiting in a three hour line to visit another one of my kids in prison, only to be turned away because I was wearing an underwire bra. (I’m not sure which was more dangerous, the steel underwire or my hanging breasts.) The truth is: I wouldn’t trade pla…

The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns begins with a happy and busy triangle. The triangle was very busy with many different jobs. It spent its time making music in the orchestra, catching wind for sailboats, holding up roofs and much more. The triangle's favorite thing was to slip into place when people put their hands on their hips. He could find out the latest news and tell his friends.
But one day, the triangle became tired of doing the same thing and visited the shapeshifter. The triangle th…

As thousands of people are sinking their teeth deep within the pages of the latest vampire series, I’m not.
I have a few issues. I pick up a book, read a few pages, then suddenly it’s dinner and I have T-minus 25 minutes to whip up something the family is willing to eat, but will not result in an ER visit due to a clogged artery or malnutrition. Then there are dishes…and the laundry…and my Google Reader on the verge of explosion…and oh yea, my family to attend to.
Point is I have not been able…

So I was sitting in the waiting room of my pediatrician's office this morning and while perusing through Pregnancy and Newborn magazine, I was shocked and delighted to find that Peeing in Peace was one of their editors' favorite reads! In fact, I was so thrilled that I asked the receptionist if I could take the magazine and she let me have it - not before making a copy of the book of course. So here it is for everyone to see and if you haven't ordered a copy of Peeing in Peace, now's your chance…

Hi, writers! I can't wait for you to hear from my friend, Jenny L. Cote. But before you do, let me tell you a little about her. Jenny and I met at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference a few years ago, before she ever had a book contract--and wait till you see what she's done!
In her new fantasy series, The Amazing Tales of Max and LizTM, Jenny beautifully blends her passions for God, history, and young people as she takes heroes Max and Liz through pivotal points in Biblical an…
