Word of the Week
Since 2011, readers have been enjoying my “Word of the Week” posts, which look not just at the definition of a word, but at its history and etymology. These quick little peeks into words we use every day (or…don’t), are a fun way to learn something new in just a minute or two! Word Nerds, unite!

Word of the Week – Wishbone
Ever wonder why we pull apart a bone of a turkey and make a wish?
Thoughtful Thursdays
Though a novelist by trade, one of the trademarks of my books is the spiritual depth and exploration I include as my characters work through what it really means to walk out their faith. Faith, in fact, is one of the things I like to ponder most. In these once-a-week articles, I get thoughtful at the crossroads of faith, family, and fiction.

History’s Story
Nearly all of my books are historicals, which means I do A LOT of research. Check out History’s Story for this novelist’s take on some of the historical tidbits I’ve learned through my research, especially on topics that end up in my novels.

Cancer Journey
In April of 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As I underwent chemo, a bilateral mastectomy, radiation, and protein-blocker injections, I kept writing…books, but also blogs that shared my journey. Some are factual. Most are reflections of how God held me through it. So often I heard “thank you being vulnerable” and “you’re an inspiration.” My only goal was to share so that others can borrow the strength and faith I had to borrow from those who came before me. So if that’s you, if you need that hand held out right now, whatever you’re facing…here are my reflections.
