Today, we welcome Mary of Bethany into the Reflections family. Although her paperback has been live for several weeks, today’s the official birthday for digital copies. Believe me, that’s something Miss Mary never would have conceived of during her lifetime. Take a look at this cover. It’s a thing of beauty. Orphan to Saint: A …

I love a good title. That’s why this one makes me smile. It could mean this post will tell you all about the Reflections series. It could mean that. But it doesn’t. Instead, this post is about a particular section in each of the Reflections books that I called the “Reflection Section.” It’s basically a …

I haven’t been subbing much this school year. This has been great for getting organized and dealing with my burnout issues but not so great for my bank account.

Happy New Year, friends. I like the idea of seeing things with 20/20 vision in 2020. If God hadn’t announced my word for this year so clearly in November, I would have probably run with the idea of perfect vision or clarity or something like that. But God said, “You need to rest, daughter.” And …

Back in January, I admitted this would be a year of “building” for my brand, but I had no idea how much being an indie author would tax my creative soul. The reality of “indie publishing” measures up differently than the perception. At least for me. Isn’t that true of many things? Christmas is the …
