More than I could ask or think

March 3, 2021 By D'Ann Mateer

I confess, I didn’t know until yesterday what I would post today. I’m not usually that late in deciding my topic. (Actually writing the post? Well, that might be a different story!)

FUN NEWS & a GIVEAWAY (for The Chosen novelization by Jerry B. Jenkins)

February 16, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

Happy Tuesday from ICY Nashville, Tennessee! I don't know what the weather is like in your corner of the world but Nashville is slip slidin' away! Give me snow any day over treacherous black ice. Our lovely city is pretty much closed down at present, but the hope of warmer temps springs eternal. As does the hope for Spring itself!
