Irish Twins? Well, almost!

July 18, 2023 By Tamera Alexander

Join my family vicariously as (last night) we celebrated with Kurt and Kellie (our son and daughter-in-law—who we affectionately refer to as K2) as they announced—with a "light show"—that they're having their second child, a little girl, in January '24!

Since we last met…

June 16, 2023 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Soon after writing my last post, the revisions for my biblical novel about the Queen of Sheba arrived in my inbox. To my delight, the editors love the book. That doesn't mean there wasn't work for me to do, but it is always a relief to get a thumbs-up from editors.
