Yesterday afternoon, my wife and I watched the new Indiana Jones movie: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.  I really liked it. To me, the first one (Raiders of the Lost Ark) was the best of all. Didn’t like the 2nd, at all (Temple of  Doom), then liked the 3rd one almost as much as the 1st (The Last Crusade). It’s the one with Sean Connery. The 4th came out almost 20 years later … READ MORE

⭐♦️ MEET OUR NEW FINLEY –  Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved 10 year old dog 4 weeks ago. A week later, we went online looking for a new puppy and saw this wonderful little guy (already named Finley by the Breeder). He’s helped distract us from our grief, for sure. Not sure I believe in signs, but we both thought it was something that he had the same name as my … READ MORE

Friday was a very difficult day for my wife Cindi and me, heartbreaking is a better word.  Most of you know, we are both serious dog lovers. Have been since we met (married 45 years, have never been without at least one except the first 6 weeks). Friday marked the end of a “Doggy Era” for us. We had the privilege of loving and being radically loved by 2 of the best dogs we ever … READ MORE

We’re only 2 weeks from the release date for The Longest Road (my new novel), which is a sequel to my bestselling book, The Deepest Waters.  Don’t know if you’ve read the first book. If not, now’s a great time to get it (only $3.99 on Kindle, Free on Kindle Unlimited). Even if you have read it (but it was a long time ago), might want to consider reading it again…because the new book picks … READ MORE

Can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I updated my blog. Been very busy. Not just with the holidays but with the release of my new novel, Rescuing Finley (Book 1 of the Forever Home series), and all that goes along with marketing and promoting it (I’m an indie now, have to do all the things my publisher used to do for me). Thought I’d take a few minutes to update you all on what’s been … READ MORE

I am so proud of my wife. Here’s one of the reasons why. Five years ago, my wife and I had a pivotal conversation about her future. We had just officially become empty-nesters. I said, “For so many years you have done everything for everyone else: you’ve raised our kids, even homeschooled them, ran our household and even held down a part-time job as a bookkeeper. I think it’s time you started doing something you really want … READ MORE

This has been a very big week for writing awards, especially Christian fiction. On Sunday, AWSA announced the winners of the Golden Scroll Awards. Then on Monday at the big ICRS event in Orlando (which is still going on), the finalists for the ACFW Carol Awards were announced, as well as the winners for the 2015 Christy Awards. But these weren’t the only award announcements made this week. Family Fiction magazine announced the winners of … READ MORE

As with everyone else this week, our hearts are broken over the horrific tragedy that has befallen Charleston, SC. But in the aftermath, I have to say I’m not all that surprised this has NOT gone the way of Baltimore or Ferguson (which it certainly could have). Instead, the citizens of this fine town have demonstrated an amazing measure of restraint and poise. More than that, they have taken the evil intent of this misguided young … READ MORE
