Thanks for joining me! May you leave encouraged.
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 …
As I mentioned briefly in the my last post, my family and I went on holidays to the beach for six nights last week! We enjoyed so much of God’s beautiful creation. 😀 We even saw a dead shark that was washed up on the beach (glad I didn’t meet it in the water). But most of the animals we saw …
If you read my very first blog post as author, then you’ll already know that I love playing and teaching music! 😀 Well in the last year or two, I’ve been blessed to explore another part of music with my teacher, Amanda Tero–arranging!! I wanted to share a recording of me playing one of my recently finished arrangements. 🙂 While …
My mum has always told me that my siblings should be my best friends. That’s the type of family I grew up in. A family that works together, laughs together, and spends heaps of time together. 🙂 This type of environment is normal for me (what a blessing! 😀 ). But every so often I’m thrown a “reality” check. The …
