A sweet visit, an August 8th release—and 30 GIVEAWAYs!

July 18, 2017 By Tamera Alexander

Hey friends! I'm just back from Atlanta where I spent some time with my Dad, bless him. Love that man so much. Me & Dad Dad's had numerous TIAs (mini strokes) in recent weeks, and they've taken a toll on him physically. Yet he's still the same sweet, kindhearted man he's always been. Albeit, at 85, he's growing a tad weary of what accompanies aging (these earthly bodies aren't made to … [Read more...]

The Purge

July 12, 2017 By Robin Lee Hatcher

I think most authors go through periods of time, due to approaching deadlines, when many things in their lives get ignored. I am guilty of that. To the max. Confession: I can let some things go without attention for years. There always seems to be something else more important to do with my time, including naps.
