Last month, I had the blessing of reading Tricia Goyer’s new book, Walk It Out. From the blurb: When women stop focusing on their own dreams and purposes, and instead focus on God’s dreams and purposes, everything changes.” Friends, may I just say, add this book to your reading list at once. It is a powerful and personal book that will challenge you (as it did me) to walk out your faith … [Read more...]
Goodbye, Mr. Bennet
Last month at this time I was in Bath England, where I attended an event called “Mr. Wickham and an Evening with Jane Austen” offered through the Jane Austen Festival. I was in the UK hosting my first-ever reader tour, and a large group of us opted to attend the event. It was promoted as an evening of drama and music with actors Adrian Lukis (Mr. Wickham in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and … [Read more...]
Conferences: the big and small of it
In the past three weeks, I’ve taught at one of the largest and one of the smallest writers conferences around. At the end of September, Ken and I headed to Dallas for the American Christian Fiction Writers annual conference. This was our 16th year for the conference and I’ve never missed one! It’s a highlight of my year and a wonderful chance to get to visit with dear writer friends. I’m … [Read more...]

Why Getting Some Negative Reviews Can Be Positive
Last week I stumbled across a Facebook comment from a reader who said: Gentle reminder for authors: if you can’t handle negative reviews, you need a new career choice. It was an interesting comment and got me thinking about negative reviews and author reactions. Obviously most writers would prefer to wow the socks off readers with each book they put out. I don't know a single author who … [Read more...]
Spending Time With My Peeps
The American Christian Fiction Writers conference took place the weekend before last, and for the first time since 2005, I was not there. Well, not technically. I love this conference. I wouldn't be published today without the connections I've made there. But this year, it just wasn't feasible for me to go. At least not to the official event. The conference was in Dallas, which is only a 3-hour … [Read more...]
And the winner is ….. and more things to ponder
First, I want to thank everyone for the lovely comments when I posted two weeks ago and offered to give away a copy of my current LIS release Tracker. I appreciate all of you. My winner is Suzanne Sellner. Suzanne, if you will please contact me through my website at www.lenoraworth.com, I will arrange how to get your book to you! This has been another tragic week. When I woke to the news alert … [Read more...]
It’s Christmas at Carnton in Franklin, Tennessee
It may be barely be fall in your neck of the woods, but it's already Christmas at Carnton here in Tennessee! Much as Lynn did yesterday with her newest novel (which I'm so excited to read!), I'm celebrating the release of Christmas at Carnton today . . . While I don't quite view the books that I write as my "babies"—I've had two babies, and they're now 30 and 28 years old (I'm smiling … [Read more...]
My Newest Baby
People often ask me which of my books is my favorite. I tell them that my books are like children—I’ve labored hard for many months to give birth to each of them, so how can I choose a favorite? Yet the birth of each new book is very exciting for me. And now I can announce that my newest baby, “Where We Belong,” is here! I wrote a brief summary of the story in my last blog, and told how it was … [Read more...]
