About Me



Do you enjoy reading inspirational romance? My third book, A Season of Forgiveness, will be available this fall. Here's a teaser:


Interested? You can read most of the first chapter on this page of my website. And you can order the book right now from Amazon (for delivery on or after October 1, 2007).


This looks like a good place for a slideshow. And, hey, would you like to listen to one of my favorite songs while you're here? Just click the arrow on the little black music box over there on the left.


My Interests

Growing roses. Afternoon tea parties. Collecting English bone china cups and saucers. Astronomy. Blogging. Appreciating Godiva chocolates.

I'd like to meet:

Readers, writers, and other interesting people.

If you like this page or my blog or my website or my Love Inspired books, please tell everyone you ever met. Then let me know about it so I can tell you how wonderful you are and how grateful I am.

This is me on a good hair day and on my best behavior. (And I'm sorry to say that both occurences are rare.)

Interested in writing, life, and the writing life? Click over to
No rules. Just write.

Music:

Here are some faves right off the top of my head: The Wallflowers, Snow Patrol, Counting Crows, Howie Day, Foo Fighters, Celtic music (especially the slow airs and waltzes), classical (in small doses), opera (in somewhat larger doses, unless it's Wagner's Ring Cycle, in which case, bring it on).

Movies:

My favorite movie is, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" I bet I've watched that DVD a dozen times. I also like romantic comedies, but once I've seen 'em, I'm done. Except for "Joe vs. the Volcano," I can't think of a single one that I have truly loved. I just always think they could be better, you know?

Television:

I really don't enjoy TV. I despise sitcoms, and dramas leave me cold. I hate TV news programs and "reality" shows. I watch an occasional movie on cable, but I can go a week or longer without even turning on the TV.

Books:

I like nonfiction best. As for novels, I go for the classics. I adore Jane Austen and Shakespeare. I don't read much contemporary fiction except for romance, which is what I write.

Heroes:

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Okay, I'm not a very good follower. But I'm trying.

Where's the bug spray? Never mind, there's too many of 'em.

According to my home page on MySpace, there are currently 99,009,297 MySpace users. I guess it's inevitable that millions of those members would be Stupid People.   A little while ago I...

Am I too old for MySpace?

My two boys, ages 23 and 19, laughed when I told them I had set up a MySpace account. And more than a few of my writer friends were shocked. Nobody will take you seriously, they warned. Don't you know...

Why I killed Tom

This is my third day on MySpace. The first time I logged on to my profile page, Tom was waiting for me, looking all helpful and accessible and making me feel a little less alone. But my first fri...
