Thanks for joining me! May you leave encouraged.
What we allow to capture our imaginations and hearts shapes how we think and act 😀 Which means . . . books are powerful!! 😀 As an author that is a scary and wonderful thought all wrapped into one! Scary because of the responsibility that comes from publishing words and ideas that will influence others. And wonderful because God is …
I came across a lovely hymn I’d like to share with you, called “Lord, Write Your Truth.” It’s a “modern” hymn as I think it was only released in 2018! 🙂 And the man who wrote it is still alive unlike a lot of the hymns we sing 😉 Lord, Write Your Truthby Joe Henson, III (PSALM 33)Great Author of …
About a month ago, Israel had it’s National Holocaust Remembrance Day. At the sound of air-raid sirens, everything came to a standstill (even cars!) to observe two minutes of silence. And while things like the Holocaust aren’t pleasant to think about, it’s important that we remember them anyway. And one way to do that is by reading books about the …
Well, it’s been waaaay too long since I did my last post!! 🙁 Sorry for not keeping up with posting! But I’m back on the blog again so hopefully I will be somewhat better again. 🙂 Blogging certainly takes some dedication. 😉 Part of the reason for my lack of posting is because my family moved houses lately! Our new …
I’m an Australian, and I’m writing an Australian book series. 😀 Which means what I’m writing about is very familiar to me for the most part (though granted I wasn’t alive in 1872 😉 ). But I realise that not all my readers will share the same birthplace as me! So in the back of my book, I’ve included a …
My sisters put together a list of Scripture verses that demonstrate the greatness and goodness of God as an encouragement for someone. When I saw it, I knew I had to include it in a post 😀 So here’s the list! And don’t forget to pay extra attention to the words in bold! 🙂 “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted …
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay. But do we? If we’re honest, all too often we don’t feel joyful. Instead we’re bogged down with cares, worries, or even complaints. Or at least I know I am! If we find ourselves in a spot where everything seems miserable, maybe it’s …
As we begin 2019, I want to take a moment to encourage you to consider writing in a diary this year! I began writing in a diary many years ago (though I have to admit there have been extended periods where I’ve only written very sporadically!). 😀 What largely inspired me to start keeping a diary was a book series …
It’s hard to believe we’re nearly at the end of 2018 already and now 2019 is just a matter of days away!! I’m afraid I missed last week’s post! 🙁 I’d been going really well with posting weekly, so I was disappointed to skip a week! 🙂 But I’m back on track this week. 😀 Today I thought I’d share …
As a historical author, I obviously have a love of history related things! 😀 That can take the form of reading other historical novels, visiting a pioneer village, learning about historic people and events, reading historical plaques when I visit places, or perusing displays of old-fashioned items. And old photographs are definitely intriguing (because a picture is worth a thousand …
