On a High Note

April 5, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

On Friday, March 22, I flew into San Jose to teach and speak at the Vision Christian Writers Conference held in Mt. Hermon (an amazing Christian campground in the Santa Clara Mountains).

A Gift for You: Fun Bookmarks

February 22, 2024 By Cara Putman

Today I thought I would do something different as I race toward a book deadline on Monday. I thought you'd enjoy downloading and using these. One can never have enough bookmarks right? So I had fun creating these for you. You can copy and paste these into a Word document and print them to use in your next book as a reminder of all the reasons you love reading good books.
