I am thrilled to host author Jennifer Q. Hunt on my blog today. Like me, Jennifer is an author of Historical Fiction, as well as a fellow member of Brave Authors and Christian Mommy Writers (aka “Screaming Peach Books”). Jennifer’s books are a favorite among both groups. Today, she’s going to be sharing something closeContinue reading “Writing Stories of the Great War: A Guest Post by Author Jennifer Q. Hunt”

Wandering Around Germany: Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of Germany’s iconic places. Its name means the Red Castle Above the Tauber (River). The medieval city sits inside well-preserved city walls and gives one the feeling of stepping back in time. We came on the day after Christmas, December 26th, which for the Germans is a holiday andContinue reading “Wandering Around Germany: Rothenburg ob der Tauber”
Wandering Around Germany: Nuremberg
Back in 2017, my husband and I took a Viking River Cruise on the Danube to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. The route took us from Budapest to Nuremberg, and while I enjoyed every moment in every port we visited, I found my place in Germany. Those three days in Passau, Regensburg, and Nuremberg were theContinue reading “Wandering Around Germany: Nuremberg”
“Is Accuracy in Fiction Important?” A Guest Post by Author B.D. Lawrence
I am so excited to host B.D. Lawrence again this year. B.D. is a fellow member of the Brave Authors Collab, and an author of crime fiction. B.D. has written a great piece about accuracy in fiction, and I’m glad he offered to share it here, because I am well aware of some of theContinue reading ““Is Accuracy in Fiction Important?” A Guest Post by Author B.D.

Writing Update: “Why a Pen Name?”
Happy New Year! If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I am now using the name “Aubrey Reiss Taylor.” This is something I’ve been toying with since I began writing and I finally decided to go through with it. There are three major reasons for these changes. I WRITE GERMAN-PERSPECTIVEContinue reading “Writing Update: “Why a Pen Name?””
Book Reviews and Reflections: My Father, Joachim von Ribbentrop
I was legitimately sad when this book ended, because in Rudolf von Ribbentrop, the son of the much-maligned German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, I found a kindred spirit. He is the author of this book, which is part biography, part memoir. It is easily one of my top five reads for 2024. As theContinue reading “Book Reviews and Reflections: My Father, Joachim von Ribbentrop”
Book Review and Reflections: Three Comrades
Why has it taken me so long to review one of Erich Maria Remarque’s books? He is my favorite author, hands down, and though I doubt we’d see eye to eye on certain things, I wish I could sit down with him over coffee and talk. And talk and talk and talk. One of theContinue reading “Book Review and Reflections: Three Comrades”
Spotlight on Janette Oke: A Guest Post by Brave Author Priscilla Bettis
I am excited to welcome author Priscilla Bettis to the blog today. She has been a regular commenter and supportive part of the Brave Authors group this year. Today, she is reviewing an upcoming release by an author whose name you might recognize! Janette Oke is a brave author. She’s 89 years old. Her husbandContinue reading “Spotlight on Janette Oke: A Guest Post by Brave Author Priscilla Bettis”
Film Review and Reflections: Into the White
It seems like WWII films that come out of Europe tend to be more authentic than films that come out of Hollywood, even if they were made by nations that were occupied by or allied against Germany in WWII. While Hollywood tends to focus on a good-versus-evil trope, I prefer these foreign films because theyContinue reading “Film Review and Reflections: Into the White”
Hurt by the Church: A Guest Post by Author Katelyn Pfeiffer
Church hurt is both a buzzword and a taboo subject. It is controversial because so many people who once called themselves Christians have “deconstructed” their faith and left the church. Yet is there legitimacy to much of this soul-searching? Those who have followed me for a while may already know that this is a burdenContinue reading “Hurt by the Church: A Guest Post by Author Katelyn Pfeiffer”
