I know of writers who have every scene laid out before they ever start working on a novel—they’re called Plotters. Then there are others who fly completely by the seat of their pants. I bet you can guess what they’re called. Just in case you don’t get it (or just don’t want to play the game), let me tell you—Pantsers. …
My name is Rebekah Casey, and Jennifer Sienes asked could I share a little bit about myself for her blog. Maybe give y’all a little taste of who I am, and why she thought it a good idea to write my story. I’m not an educated woman, but I’ll do my best. I’ve lived in Shelbyville my whole life. That’s …
One of the major themes in Shadow Dancing is the grief over losing a child. I’ve suffered all kinds of grief, as has anyone who’s walked this earth. And although I had a season of great loss, (which you can read about on my website if you choose), I never lost a child to death. But friend and fellow author …
Titles. They’re kind of an important part of a book, don’t you think? Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby…all classics. Of course, this might be why their titles are so memorable. Although, in my humble (and maybe biased opinion), who wouldn’t wonder about To Kill a Mockingbird? It fires up the imagination, draws the reader in, …
You may not know this, but a week from tomorrow, my latest novel Shadow Dancing releases. This is Book 2 in my Southern Fiction Bedford County Series. This week will be a plethora (love that word!) of posts depicting the themes in this story—a week-long book party. I have a guest video post from fellow author and friend Jane Daly, …
…A time to break down, and a time to build up—Ecclesiastes 3:3 (KJV) There are moments in this walk that the Holy Spirit brings about the perfect trifecta—a scripture verse, message, and a reminder of how good God is in a very short span of time. That’s what I experienced this morning (Tuesday, March 28th) when I sat before Him …

We’ve all heard it before—this is a small world in which we live. Kevin Bacon’s theory of six degrees of separation is true for anyone who doesn’t live under a rock. When I connected via Zoom to interview Laura Thomas for my podcast (who happens to live in British Columbia), we quickly discovered that one of her writing partners is …
Pickleball. Have you heard of it? Maybe you’ve even played it. About six years ago, friends invited us to dinner—and a rousing game of pickleball. I somehow assumed the game was a new form of ping pong, and since it was during the heat of summer, I wore my cute sandals. It wasn’t until they both looked at my feet …
There aren’t many movies I’m willing to pay good money to see. Call me cheap (or frugal, as my husband says), but it’s rare that anything worth paying $11a ticket graces the big screen. With all the streaming options, I’d rather watch from the comfort of my own home—and it costs next to nothing to pop my own popcorn. Of …
