Tuesday, August 1st was my second wedding anniversary. I can’t believe my wonderful husband and I have already been married for two years.

When I’m Not Writing: Coloring
I wrote last month that one of my favorite things to do when I’m not writing is make jewelry. One of my other favorite hobbies is to color. I mostly choose to color Christian coloring books, because when I’m coloring something with scripture it becomes a much more fulfilling experience.

Two years ago I found out about a different way to do New Year’s resolutions from a young adult author I like – Heather Demetrios. I never really liked the idea of New Year’s resolutions before as no one seemed to keep them. The kinds of resolutions people make (usually to lose weight or get … Continue reading One Word – My New Year’s Resolution
World Changers

What I’m Reading: The Selection Series
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate turning in my manuscript to my publisher than by reading the Selection series by Kiera Cass. These books have changed me in so many ways. First of all, they’re just really great books. They’re about America Singer, who was born low into the caste system of … Continue reading What I’m Reading: The Selection Series
