Jack and Charlotte just arrived at the Bannerman Foundation headquarters, and are minutes away from Jack’s official interview. A change in scene requires a step back to regroup and gear up in general, but even more so before jumping into Miles and Anika’s entrance into this story. Apart from the current chapter and possibly a […]

Who knew that in addition to toilet paper, bottled water, and hand sanitizer, there would be a run on Little Debby Nutty Bars? I’m amazed at how elusive they’ve become. Not that a lot of items aren’t these days, but this one I didn’t see coming. Toilet paper either, for that matter. How does that […]

With those who believe, I rejoice! I challenge those who don’t to look into it fully, then decide. Jesus didn’t expect people to believe with blind, unsubstantiated faith that He was who He claimed to be, nor does He expect us to. There was, and is, a staggering amount of proof. Pastor Rush discusses some of […]

The kindle version will release next week as anticipated, but if you prefer paperback, you’ll find it here: I must say, I’m looking forward to having it on my own shelf! It feels like years since “Uncertainly Yours” came out, even though it’s only been one. Still, it feels longer than that. Maybe because the […]

Brad is currently getting a crown on one of his teeth, which somehow managed to crack. Em saw the endodontist this morning and is in the scheduling process for two root canals, due to trauma from acceleration of orthodontics as a necessary response to resorption. After that, we’ll schedule with the oral surgeon, and her […]

Yesterday, I was finally able to say that “Ashes of Roses”, The House of Bannerman book 6 is complete! It took me a year to finish this one, but it’s been no ordinary year. It seems every year for the past several have been progressively challenging. Either we’re getting stronger, or jaded, because not much phases […]

I may qualify for the world’s most infrequent blogger award, if there is such a thing, but… I have been very busy! I know people say that, and if they genuinely are, I hope their busy-ness is more enjoyable than what we’ve had going on here. When it comes to being over-extended-not-by-choice, the past few […]

Finally, “Uncertainly Yours” is available! It was so much fun seeing Miles and Anika again. They play a strong supporting role in the book and are in and out quite a lot, yet without upstaging. I hope everyone enjoys reading it, as much as I did writing it. After the last read-through, I re-read the […]

At 757 pages, it is finished. At last, it is finished! I’m exhausted, and exhilarated. Next step, is proofing, which I will begin… now!

It’s been about three months. Three very long months, in many ways. I won’t get into that now, because I’m currently two chapters away from completing Uncertainly Yours. It’s a long time in coming, but at last, it’s almost there. At the moment the page count is 579. It’ll hit 600, without a doubt. I believe […]
