Below you'll find a list of all posts from 2018
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 …
I’ve only read The Hiding Place once or twice, but it is a book that has stuck in my memory quite vividly. Some books you read and forget, but not this one. While The Hiding Place certainly was anything but a pleasant, feel-good read, I’m super glad that I read it. How God worked in Corrie and her sister Betsie’s lives was …
Last week we had two lots of international visitors stop by 😀 One lot was my uncle and cousin from Germany (so exciting to finally meet my cousin!) and the other was someone from America. We took both lots on a tour of our farm in typical Compton style–on the back of our farm ute. I LOVE riding on the …
Some days you just can’t help but sing and smile all day long! 😀 Yet other days, everything seems to be falling in around you. 🙁 But it’s through trials that God strengthens and refines us. If we look hard enough, even on the hard days there are many things to be thankful for. At the top of the list …
I’ve been planting some herb seeds for my herb garden, since spring is definitely in the air!! Warm, sunny days are here with the sweet smell of blossoms and bright yellow wattle. 😀 Here’s what my herb garden looks like at the moment: I know! It’s not much of a “herb” garden since it currently doesn’t have any plants in …
Just what exactly is inside the cover of Jayne’s Endeavour (and future novels)!? Last week I covered what you won’t find inside my books. So now in brief, here’s what you can expect! Inside my novels pages, you’ll find believable characters that you can grow right alongside—all while having extraordinary adventures. 😀 Here’s what else: ♥ Mystery, adventure, intrigue! ♥ …
