Excited to present the final cover design for my newest novel, Rescuing Finley. It will be the first in a trilogy of books for the Forever Home series. Here’s the blurb that will appear on the back cover: Amy Wallace has made plenty of mistakes in her young life, but she didn’t see this one coming. Chris Seger is a …

My Wife – the Best Dog Trainer
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 …
Help from Readers for Rescuing Finley
I’ve recently finished a new novel, called Rescuing Finley. I’m getting it ready for publication now, hope to have it released by Thanksgiving Day. It will be the first of a trilogy of novels. Each one will feature a dog as one of the main characters (if you haven’t guessed it, Finley is a dog). The pic on the right is …
Tribute to a Great Writing Friend
Last week I lost a very good friend. The day he passed and for the next week, my grief was profound. I’m still not over it. He wasn’t a writer, but he was certainly a great source of encouragement in my writing. I’m referring to my dog, Darcy. Darcy was a mini-Australian shepherd. Along with his sister, Bailey, they’ve been keeping …
End of Summer Book Update
It’s hard for me to fathom we’re already talking about the end of Summer. Not officially as it appears on the calendar (think that’s Sept 22nd), but unofficially. People talk about summer ending when the kids start going back to school. In my day, we didn’t head back to school until the day after Labor Day. And our summer began the first week …

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 …
Proud of Charleston
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 …

Now that the 4th and final book of the Restoration Series has released (The Legacy), I’ve decided to offer the entire set of 4 books, signed, with matching bookmarks for only $25 (plus $4 shipping for the set, not each book). That’s 40% off the best price offered for all 4 on Amazon. If you’d like to order a set, …
What Follows After Wins Selah Award
Last night I learned some wonderful news. My novel, What Follows After–borrowing a phrase from one of my favorite Christmas movies–won a “major award.” I had posted a few weeks ago that it had been named a finalist for the Selah Award in the historical fiction category. Last night during the awards banquet for the annual Blue Ridge Mountains Christian …
