3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . Lift Off!

Today I'm releasing my first ever blog to orbit in cyberspace. Does the world need another blog? How many is too many? I've wrestled with this and a few million other questions for quite some time. What relevance can I offer? How can I enlighten writers, friends, family? And whatever made me think I should become a blogger?

The answer to that, of course, is the still, small voice upon which my life is anchored. The voice which whispered to me that I could become a writer. That urges me on when tough choices come my way. That comforts me when life throws me a curve. That takes my breath away when unexpected beauty crosses my path.

I am first a child of God. I'm also a wife, a mom, Mimi to a batch of extraordinary little people, daughter, sister, friend . . . and writer. So whether the world needs another blog or not, I can't honestly say. I only know that I am here. No fancy-schmancy stuff. Just a few laughs, sharing about books and writing. Always time for a good cup of coffee. I would be honored to have you along for the journey.

COMING SOON . . .
  • A fun contest that involves my favorite beverage (Hmmm. . .wonder what that might be?)
  • Special reports about the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) Conference in Dallas (Sept. 20-24)
  • A long-awaited family event
  • Books, Books, Books

Till next time, God Bless.
