Finding Truth…& Giveaway
What's the first part of the book you read? Is it the back cover? The first chapter? Maybe it's the back of the book so you can learn why the author chose to write a book that involved whatever issue they did? If I'm really intrigued by the history or a plot twist, I've been known to flip to the back...not to learn how a story ends (that steals all the fun for me!) but to see how much of a … [Read more...]

Does an Author’s Age Matter?
Last weekend I had the fun privilege of having a reunion with some friends from college. Way back in the good ole days, we went on a mission trip together during our time at Taylor University. As we were reminiscing on Facebook about the trip, we realized that four of us live in Michigan within driving distance of one another. So we arranged a dinner in Frankenmuth and brought along our … [Read more...]
Research Road Trip
During the last weekend of January, I took a research trip to explore the setting of my current work in progress. Not only did I get to dig into the local history of Kingsland, TX, but three writing friends met up with there and turned the weekend into a writing retreat. So wonderful to be blessed by the fellowship of fellow writers and friends. Fellow IBLF blogger, Anne Mateer, was part of the … [Read more...]

Have you ever heard of or seen an ancient tear jar? Stories of tear jars—or lachrymatories—appear often in middle eastern history. In Roman times, women would fill these small glass jars with their tears and place them in tombs as symbols of love and mourning for their deceased loved one. A wife in antiquity might use such a jar to collect her tears of grief and longing for a husband who was … [Read more...]
