Don’t Look Behind … Follow Me

October 22, 2014 By Robin Lee Hatcher

My church just finished a year-plus long study of the Gospel of John. Rich, rich stuff! I have a particular fondness for the final chapter of this book in the Bible (and have blogged about it more than once). It is a favorite for lots of reasons.

Autumn Comes Calling … And Brings the Birds

October 8, 2014 By Robin Lee Hatcher

I love autumns in Southwestern Idaho. Our nights are down in the forties, but out days are still hitting the high seventies and even the low eighties. Leaves are starting to turn. I run my space heater on my cold feet in my office in the morning. I run the air conditioner to cool down the house again in late afternoon. Yeah. It's a little crazy.

It is time for the annual American Christian Fiction Writers' national conference. I haven't been to an ACFW conference in a number of years and am delighted to get to go again. This year, I am being presented with ACFW's highest award, the … [Read more...]

The Gorilla in the Phone Booth

September 10, 2014 By Robin Lee Hatcher

On Sunday afternoon, I finished writing my 74th book. Well, "finished" might be stretching the truth a little. I still need to add more scenes and lengthen the letters that make up a secondary story line. And that's just what I know it needs. My editors are sure to come up with more suggestions. On Monday, I chatted with my agent who had already started reading the book, and I was reminded of … [Read more...]
