Rewriting Sani: Part I
I have been toying with the idea of rewriting my book Sani: The German Medic for a few years. With the book’s FIFTH birthday coming up, I thought NOW was a GREAT time. There is some debate among authors over whether or not it’s worth it to go back and revise/rewrite back-listed books. Many of…
Film Review and Reflections: Der Tiger aka. “The Tank”
***Spoiler Alerts*** This movie is so deep and layered, so I’m not claiming to have it all “correct.” It received a lot of GREAT responses, but some harsh criticism as well, particularly regarding the ending. It is a tough film to interpret and the timeline is confusing, so I’m going to give my gut reaction,…
2025 Wrap-Up and What’s to Come
I know not everyone had a great 2025. For my family, it has had its share of ups and downs. Overall, though, if I had to relive it, I would. I’ve had some terrible years and this was not one of them. I don’t always have a “word of the year,” but in 2025, I…
Film Review and Reflections: Joyeux Noel
It seems like forever since I did a film review… that is not to say that there aren’t reviews sitting in my Drafts folder… But this one, I thought, was timely. I’m always on the lookout for films that are appropriate for my children. With one of them being 15, that has gotten easier, but…
Writing Update: A Simple Project Part III
This will be my third update on A Simple Project, and likely the last for a while. At the beginning of October, I wrote THE END of the story, knowing that the book would be shelved for now, to rest and be revisited at a later date. A fellow member of Christian Mommy Writers and…

A Visit to Dachau: A Guest Post By Brave Author Rebecca Reed
Today’s guest is Rebecca Reed, a fellow member of the Brave Authors Collab. Rebecca writes Contemporary Romances filled with discovery, hope, and horses, but today, she’s shifting her focus, taking a step back in time, and sharing some reflections on a trip she took to Dachau in 2019. Because the German perspective of WWII has…
A Simple Project Part II
I’m posting this today because I had another post scheduled but my guest came up with a BRILLIANT idea that needs more time. So instead, an update on my Simple Project. Next month is challenge month for my Mommy Writers group. We chose October over November (NaNoWriMo) because as moms, a lot of us just…
We Need Heroes.
We need men and women who are going to stand up and say what needs to be said, no matter what the cost may be. To many, Charlie Kirk was a hero. He is now a martyr, yes, but he remains a hero. Honestly? The man was no more than a name to me until…
Me? Love Them? A Guest Post by Brave Author D. T. Powell
Today, I want to introduce you to my Brave Author of the Month, D.T. Powell. In June, D.T. released her Contemporary Christian novel, With Mercy’s Eyes. The story resonated with me because a few years earlier, I myself had taken on the challenge of writing about someone who was same sex attracted. (You can read…
