Then His Highness and I exchanged wedding gifts. He gave me this beautiful necklace.... And I gave him this Bible.... I remember shopping for it carefully. Talking through all the choices in depth. Considering my options. … [Read more...]
The Hiding Place
This year, my Facebook group, The Posse, took on a reading challenge. Each month, we have a different challenge to guide our reading. It's been great push to get me out of my usual routine. This month, we were challenged to read a book published in the year we were born. Being born in 1971, I was worried that I would find nothing that interested me, but after a brief Google search, I discovered … [Read more...]
Offbeat Movies Based on Historical Events
Throughout this time at home, we have been continually searching for different things to watch. We don’t usually follow the normal movie or tv trends.

What entices you?
I love books, and I think that's true of everyone here in the Inspired by Life and Fiction community. It's a primary commonality that brings us together.

Well, perhaps I would trade with a British princess. I’ve … [Read more...]

Ask the Librarian…& Giveaway
The libraries have been closed where we are for a number of weeks...and that's hard for people who love books and the joy of exploring the stacks.

A wonderful way to support authors right now is to ask your library to carry the … [Read more...]
Let Go
Hi friends, I pray you are healthy and safe during this time of crisis. I still haven’t fully wrapped my head around it to be truthful. I can’t picture what future days might be like or if things will ever go back to ‘normal.’ I don’t know, but God does. He’s really worked on my soul during the past two months. I’m ashamed to admit it, especially as a Christian, but I struggle quite often … [Read more...]
