Our 2nd Annual Thanksmas

December 4, 2019 By D'Ann Mateer

For the second year in a row we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with all our kids (and this year our granddaughter, too!) in a whirlwind 48 hours.

The kids starting trickling in on Tuesday. By … [Read more...]

Gratitude and Grace

November 27, 2019 By Dani Pettrey

Why NO ONE Should Object to ‘Clean Teen’ Fiction

November 1, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

Just this week I stumbled across a trending article called: “SJW YA Authors Object to 'Clean Teen' Fiction.”  Obviously the title caught my attention because my clean teen Lost Princesses series just recently released. So I was rather intrigued to discover that other YA authors are opposed to the kind of YA fiction that I write. To be honest, I had to google the meaning of SJW. I know … [Read more...]
