Isn’t it funny how the first thing that pops into your mind when someone mentions giving is money? I suppose it’s because society today seems to be focused in that direction. However, money is only a small portion of what giving really means. Take time out of your busy schedule to cook a meal and deliver it to a sick friend. Too many times we disregard thoughts like this. If someone’s name comes to your mind at a random moment, stop and listen. God may be speaking to your heart that Jane Doe needs to be encouraged. Be still and…

This legal thriller escalated into a suspenseful from the beginning and didn’t slow up until the end. From the onset, I grew suspicious of every character which kept me turning the page. Rachel Dylan did a fabulous job of keeping the action rolling and the reader guessing. Mia Shaw, a corporate litigator, discovers the brutally murdered body of her co-worker when she arrives at his apartment with balloons to celebrate his first successful year at Finley & Hughes. The visual is a picture she can never erase. At the first bit of evidence, Mia is convinced the murderer is the…

I appreciate good, clean love stories. Stories where the girl meets the guy, they fall in love and live happily ever after. Stories like: You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle and Hope Floats. We laugh and cry with the couple as they go through misunderstandings, and from the comfort of our sofas, we try to help them make the right decisions. Watching these movies may make us feel happy that everything turned out like it was supposed to, but how often does it leave us feeling a bit dejected? How many times have we wished we could be loved and…

Whatever you do, don’t bypass the prologue. The prologue thrusts you into the middle of the action and builds immediate suspense. The tension doesn’t let up until the end of the book.

Years pass and none of the investigators the mother hired produced any results. The mother refuses to believe her daughter is dead. She never stops searching for her baby.

Visiting an inmate in prison can be exhausting and stressful. The gate opens, and you step beyond tall razor-wired fences. The scrutiny of suspicious eyes from armed guards, the intimidation of metal detectors, and stern voices accompany you to an uncertain destination. The twisting in your gut pulls tighter with each steel door that opens and closes, trapping you inside. Security cameras and guards watch your body language, the movement of your hands and facial expressions. You’re ordered to keep your hands above the table as you wait for the inmate to appear from yet another steel door while feelings…

Accountability. What exactly does it mean? The definition according to Google is “An obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.” January always offers the hope of new beginnings and new challenges. One of the commitments I’ve made this year is to read the Chronological Bible in daily increments throughout the year. Joining in with a group from my church in this endeavor will help with accountability to see it through. Anytime a question arises, or I want to discuss the reading for the day I have several people I can turn to for interaction and…

Happy New Year! Today, January 1, 2019, is release day for Lynette Eason’s newest romantic suspense novel. It’s always exciting to see another fabulous release from an author who makes reading worth your while. This book, Code of Valor, gets five stars from me. I had the opportunity last year to attend Lynette’s Weekend With the Writers where the event was held in Lynette’s home. It was a wonderful relaxing experience and so enlightening hanging out with her, Tamela Hancock Murray, Alycia Morales, Edie Melson, and Lynn H Blackburn. So much wisdom in one room was an aspiring writer’s dream…
