Author Chat with Shannon Cook on Her Debut Children’s Book, I Made the Earth
As a new mom, I appreciate quality children’s books. My favorites are ones that rhyme (because my baby boy loves the repeated sounds), have creative illustrations that capture his attention, have an actual storyline I can appreciate, and teach a lesson. Shannon’s new children’s book, I Made the Earth, does all the above. I have so much enjoyed getting to know Shannon at the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer’s Conference over the years, and it is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to her today. Enjoy this author chat with Shannon! Q: What made you want to write a children’s book about Earth Day from a biblical perspective? In our…

Book Review: For the Weary Life Traveler by Christine F. Perry
Traveling is something my husband and I love to do, and we’re excited to introduce our baby boy to our favorite places as he grows up. However, not all travel is smooth-sailing, and sometimes, plans gone wrong can leave us feeling weary. When I read Christine F. Perry’s title for her latest release, it immediately resonated with me due to my own passion for travel and ensuing misadventures … like the time in Sicily where our rental car died at five in the morning, the back-up train never showed up, and then my debit card wouldn’t work for the taxi driver. Praise God my friend and I both made our…

Fall for Fiction Sale! The Rogues Trilogy
Did you know Swiss Miss makes a pumpkin spice hot chocolate mix and a peppermint hot chocolate mix? I am preferring the peppermint at the moment because it tastes like Christmas. My husband says it’s way too early to be talking like that, but just the same, a drink that tastes like Christmas makes me smile. All that to say … What better companion to a cup of hot chocolate than a book! And this week, my entire Rogues trilogy is on sale for only $.99 each on Kindle. All three will cost less than that peppermint hot chocolate mix (which was about $2 at Target). Now all you need…
