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?
I’m a lover of history—thus, naturally, a lover of historical fiction. There is nothing quite so spectacular as historical elements woven into a new creation. On the flip side, there is nothing so exasperating as an exciting tale that is flawed with a historical error (surely I’m not the only one who screams at the author when I come across something unbelievably inaccurate—okay, I don’tscream, but I definitely talk to the poor author)…
How did I come up with all of the names in my “Tales of Faith” series? Belle, Lia, and… Dumphey?? I’m over at Drop in the Ocean today sharing about all the names in this series.
One of the biggest parts in writing any book is finding the right names. The right names for the characters, for the book itself, and for the series. Sometimes, I have a really easy time finding names. Other times… well, we end up with a main character named Dumphey.
And here’s a video I did when I released “The Secret Slipper”…
Today I’m at Blossoms and Blessings blog talking about what word-count makes up the perfect length for… well, various stories.
When I began writing “Befriending the Beast,” I planned on it being a short story. Then it ate a few too many words and gained a little too much weight, so I thought of it as a novella. Now that I’m finishing up “Protecting the Poor,” I’m knocking on a novel-length’s door. Oops.
