The Vacation that Almost Wasn’t…
As parents, my husband and I couldn’t be prouder of our four children. They were a joy to raise, they get along great, never caused us any major concerns, they all graduated from excellent Catholic colleges, they are self-sufficient and working in the fields they went to school for, the two that are married have […]

These thoughts have been brewing in my mind for a while but some things I recently noticed on Facebook inspired me to write this post today. Social media can be a blessing or a curse. It can create powerful change, it can bring light to topics which need to be exposed, it can educate and […]

Wow, a lot has happened since A World Such as Heaven Intended was published in October. There have been book signings (that was somewhat surreal), virtual interviews, a story in The Post-Crescent newspaper, a blurb in The Compass newspaper, a free Kindle version giveaway (2,100 books distributed in 72 hours, wow!), the book has hit […]

Usually I’m the one doing the interview, today the shoe’s on the other foot thanks to Erin McCole Cupp, author and blogger extraordinaire at Will Write For Tomato Pie. If you’ve been wanting to know a bit more about me and my novel, A World Such as Heaven Intended, here’s your chance… 7QT: INTERVIEW WITH […]
