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 – Ruminate
“Ruminate” may mean “to turn over in your mind”…but it has much more, er, earthly roots.
Word of the Week – Spring
You can probably reason your way to why we call this upcoming season “Spring”…but there’s a lot more to the word!
Word of the Week – Leprechaun
As we prepare for St. Patrick’s Day, let’s take a minute to look at the meaning of the little fae dressed in green that we sometimes associate with the day: leprechauns!
Thoughtful Thursdays
Though a novelist by trade, one of the trademarks of my books is the spiritual depth and exploration I includes 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 gets thoughtful at the crossroads of faith, family, and fiction.
The Lamb in the House
The first step of preparing for Passover was to bring a lamb into your house. How are you inviting Christ in today?
The Praise and Faith of Despair
Sometimes all we can do is cry out, “Are you there, God?” But even that action is praise.
Why Do I Love You?
Why do I love you? There’s no counting of the reasons. There’s simply the fact that I do.
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.
Sing We Now of Christmas
Did you know WHY we sing so many catchy songs at Christmas? The answer goes back centuries!
Advent – The Savior Will Come
Though Christ has already been born in that stable, in this season, we dwell on yearning for Him, longing for Him like the world did leading up to that miracle.
The Codebreakers of Room 40
North American has only one native plant with caffeine: yaupon. And thanks to its stimulants and antioxidants, it’s been loved for centuries!
Books, Books, Books!
It goes without saying that with a novelist, it always comes down to BOOKS. These posts are your go-to for book news, cover reveals, book releases, Scavenger Hunts, giveaways, and bookish merch!
