How often do we wonder what others think of us? I’ve cultivated a better habit over the years of caring about maintaining my witness while not trying to please everyone. Now the book is out there, floating around from reader to reader. (And, yes, I would encourage you share your copy, BUT if the sharee […]

US Bank is My BFF
Remember how I left my debit card in the ATM on the way to the airport on Wednesday? I called the bank from PDX and they immediately canceled that card and started processing the other. We got back into town late Sunday night–after giving Chip MacGregor a lift home. 🙂 Monday afternoon’s mail held the […]
ACFW: Day 3, Part 1
I neglected to mention that I went hottubbing with a friend from Oregon last night. We were meeting near the pool, and I got there before her. Instead of getting in the tub and being too hot if she didn’t arrive for a bit, I decided to swim until she showed up. Did I mention […]
ACFW: Day 2
With a decent amount of sleep, I was able to stay more alert in the classes today. Made a good choice to force myself to go to bed at midnight last night. Hmm … what time is it now? 🙂 But today was too good not to share. Before I get into the ACFW update, […]
Ka-Powell!
What a huge hit! Any fan of books, either as a writer or a reader, makes a pilgrimage to Powell’s Book store when he or she visits Portland. It’s the mecca of book worms! And guess whose book is featured on their main pages as a Daily Dose? Mine! (The Familiar Stranger as a Daily […]
The Edge of Light
First of all, thank you to all the family members of those who’ve died protecting our country. What a sacrifice your loved ones made for us … and we so rarely take the time to consider it. Personally, I’m grateful to have a cousin home from service in the Middle East. He can’t say when […]
Love Finds You in Last Chance, CA
Most writers are readers. I constantly have my large nose in a book, so it only makes sense that I was in the middle of a novel when Kevin left. Ironically, it was a romance I had agreed to “influence” for, which basically means I will spread the word about my friend’s second book. Though […]
Lying on Sunday by Sharon K. Souza
It’s been a crazy start to the year. One of my dogs got ran over, but lived to tell the tail, which doesn’t actually wag anymore. I’m fighting some kind of bug that knocked me out from 9AM to noon yesterday and has me in bed tonight 3-4 hours earlier than normal. But who likes […]
Beth Wiseman’s PLAIN PERFECT
I want to introduce you to an author I’ve referenced before: Beth Wiseman. Beth’s debut book, which released September 9, is Plain Perfect (Daughters of Promise Novel). As you probably guessed by the title, it does belong to the Amish sub-genre. She’s published by Thomas Nelson, who doesn’t usually sign new authors, but they definitely […]
What’s Up with the Single Life?
By Christina Tarabochia on October 15, 2008 in Camy Tang, Only Uni, Review, Single Sashimi, Sushi for One?, Writing
Drake Yu. Why would Drake call her after … what, five years? Six? Venus heard in his voice that resonance that was almost a growl, that titanium-hard determination to get what he wanted. And he usually got what he wanted. The voice said: “I want you to work for me.” Not this time … If […]
