A Peek into My Writing
Today’s promised post is about my characters. I decided to give you a glimpse of the artwork my husband painted for the cover of The Journey Gardener and the Compass Thief based on a scene in my book. I chose this scene because it is where my main characters meet. Here is an excerpt from …
What I Write
The next promise in my March series is to tell you about what I write. I want to tell you I have a specific genre, but that always seemed so limiting to me. I love a good story…
Stop Being a Seed
Is that too harsh? “Stop being a seed,” Holy Spirit whispered. “Let me show you what I mean.” Okay he didn’t say that specifically, but he showed me a vision of a seed and its growth and gave me scriptures to go along to explain the meaning. A seed contains the potential, the plan, the …
