How long, O God, will You allow our enemies to insult You? Will you let them dishonor Your name forever? Why do You hold back Your strong right hand? Unleash Your powerful fist and destroy them. Psalm 74:10-11 Unless you’ve been on a deserted island with no link to the outside world, you can’t miss the upheaval that’s been going …
Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits by Mary Jane Hathaway was recommended to me as a good southern fiction novel. As with most books, I perused the reviews before committing to reading it. I know reviews are clearly subjective, so I try to take that into account, but they still give me a sense the story line. I also know that …
I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that …
I thoroughly enjoy featuring fiction authors on my website, but today’s post is an interview with someone close to my heart—Denise Barela. She is an amazing author, editor, and on-fire Christian woman. She’s also my virtual assistant and daughter of my publisher. So, this is a special blessing for me, and I pray it will be for you, as well. …
Over the last several weeks, I’ve interviewed with different podcasters, and every one of them was a blessing. Mike Moffitt, the associate pastor at University Place Presbyterian Church near Tacoma, Washington, was one such person. I had the dubious distinction of being his first fiction author. We had an engaging conversation about my writing journey, from where I draw inspiration, …

This one would …
Becoming a writer has ruined me for reading fiction. From the time I can remember, I’ve always loved to get lost in a good book. Stories had the ability to take me from my uneventful life and plop me into an adventure. When we were little, my mom would take us to the library during the summer, and I could …
What a joy it is to introduce you to fellow contemporary author Joanne Markey. I hope you will enjoy getting to know her as much as I have. Don’t forget to follow the link at the end of the post for a chance to win an ebook copy of her book Off on a Whim. Welcome, Joanne. I always like …
Head’s up for all you conventional folks out there, this is not your usual blog post. My name is Charlotte Van Cleave—but most everyone calls me Charlie. Author (and character-creator) Jennifer Sienes asked me to write this week’s post. You see, her newest novel Night Songs is kind of about me. If that sounds prideful, I apologize. I’m not sure …
Every story I write is steeped in biblical truth. In fact, I get inspiration most often from Bible scriptures or devotionals that I read. I thought it appropriate that I write my own devotional based upon Night Songs for my readers. I hope this will be a blessing to you. You can view me reading this devotional below if you …
