Good news and thanks for your prayers. Colleen is home again and appears to be feeling well. She seems sharp, and hopefully a few “techy” things will be added to help her out, emergency call buttons and voice to text, etc. A bathroom remodel to a walk-in shower to make things easier is in theContinue reading “Colleen Is Home Again”

Pray for Colleen
After such grand news last week, I would ask that you pray for Colleen. She had a fall and is back at the Auburn hospital, being well cared for and as far as I know, in good spirits. I don’t know every detail, just that she is not at home any longer. I’m sure sheContinue reading “Pray for Colleen”

Unfortunately, her illness escalated, and she was eventually hospitalized. Right now, she is regaining her strength at Wesley rehab. I’m sure sheContinue reading “An Update About Colleen”
Happiness or Heartbreak?
I’ve never before had two titles come out within days of each other. Very different stories, and totally different hero and heroine from Candleshine’s High Calling. Elizabeth’s Bold Escape: Cherished Romance #13 “East is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet.” (Rudyard Kipling, 1889) Spoiled, headstrong Elizabeth Courtland, whoContinue reading “Happiness or Heartbreak?”

“Heroes, Heroines, and Villains, Oh My!”

Today I am 87 years young, the perfect day to look backwards and forward. Birthdays in our family were always special. Meals ended with dessert of the birthday person’s choice.

Heart-breaking Incident Inspires Author
Years ago, I witnessed an incident that brought tears. A teen girl who thought she was better than everyone else held a slumber party. She invited every girl in her class except one shy, often ignored classmate. The cruel act destroyed what little self-esteem the outcast girl had. It took years for her to seeContinue reading “Heart-breaking Incident Inspires Author”
