You know, sometimes it’s just the right time to throw aside propriety and ramble. If you’re me, that is. 😉 Maybe other authors have it all together all the time, but I definitely don’t.
Today I’m over at Blossoms and Blessings sharing an “About-the-Process” post which includes… totally forgetting that I have more than just “Protecting the Poor” on my desk right now. *hides face* Yep… I’m not the only one who struggles with balance, am I? 😉
Read the full, rambling post here.
Have you ever wondered the difference between writing one point-of-view and two (or more)? Have you ever considered if your book needs just one POV or two? Do you know how to make that decision?
I don’t know that I have the answers for everyone, but I absolutely loved writing in two POVs for “The Secret Slipper” and “Protecting the Poor”–and, like so much about this series, it has been a huge learning experience!
Hop over to Writings from a God-Girl to read a little of my thinklings about this POV process.
Let’s be honest. When we think of the medieval age, we tend to romanticize it. I mean, who else gets these images in mind? (credit: all images from Pixabay)
This is more the style that I featured in my Tales of Faith series, but it’s not historically accurate. Read the full article over at Author Abigail Harris’s blog.
Another grave. This time, a short one.
Have you read the prologue of “The Secret Slipper” yet? Well, you can now. 😉 The full prologue is shared on Wildflower Acres. So hop over and read it–and see what else this blogger has to offer.
It’s easy to trust God in areas that don’t really matter to us—in areas that are going in a smooth flow anyway. But what about that thing that is nearest and dearest to us? That one dream that we’re trying to hang onto for dear life? Can we trust God with that? He’s not a cruel master, demanding we give Him our all so that He can torture us and gleefully take away what we hold dearest. He’s a gentle, loving Father. And He knows what is truly best for us. But do we truly believe that? If we did, would we fight so hard to surrender our plans, dreams, and desires to Him?
Today I’m over at Maidens for Modesty sharing some important lessons God taught me on trust while writing “The Secret Slipper.”

With camps, I’ve fallen behind posting this week, so we get 2-in-1 today before a whole new blog tour series starts on Monday!!
This week, I shared an excerpt from “Befriending the Beast” at A.M. Heath’s blog and today was a review at Tangled Up in Writing.
It’s hard to believe the first month of blog tour is up! And in just a few short weeks, I get to start talking more in depth about “Protecting the Poor!” But first, July will be a full month dipping back into “The Secret Slipper” and the adventures I shared with Lia and Lord Kiralyn.
Have you ever considered your top 5 tips to give other Christian authors? I realized as I wrote this article that my top-5 change. 🙂 But for TODAY, my top 5 are…
Of course, I expound several hundred words on each of these. I’d love to hear from you–what are your top 5 tips? Do you agree/disagree with mine (and the exposition of them)?

Sydney wrote a very sweet review of “Befriending the Beast” over on her blog yesterday.
“This is not your typical Beauty and the Beast story. It’s not that of a romantic love story, but rather a lost and found again love between a father and daughter. This is a charming story that readers will thoroughly enjoy!”
I hope you read her full review and show her some support.
Remember: for this month only, you can get the eBook of “Befriending the Beast” on sale!
Yesterday I had the fun of doing an interview with Medomfo at Writings from a God Girl. She asked questions such as: When did you start writing with the hope of becoming an author? What inspired Befriending the Beast? What kind of books do you enjoy reading? What Christian contemporary books would you recommend to new contemporary writers?
