I don’t normally read romances (not since high school anyway), but this cover doesn’t do justice to the content of this book. In fact, I almost didn’t read it because of the cover. However, I’d read a Hauck novel several years back about a the history of a wedding dress and enjoyed it. Although I […]
Book Review
My May Reads and a few other random thoughts…
How is this possible? May 31st is here already…and I made it! Felt like I had a foaming tiger by the tail a few times, but I ran alongside, panting and gritting my teeth. I even got to wave and smile and enjoy the scenery a few places. By the time I could let go, […]
My April Reads
I’ve been reading several historical books and memoirs lately, none of which leave me with a smile. Enlightening? Yes. Lightening? No. Because of all the stress I was wrestling through in my reality, I decided this month, I needed to use my April reads to escape and laugh. Well, I made this declaration after starting […]
My March Reads
This month and the next will be demanding more of my time than usual, but I’m still trying to get some good books in–often from 10:30-midnight. 🙂 The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi by Kathie Lee Gifford, with Rabbi Jason Sobel, takes you through Israel to the various places mentioned in Scripture and gives […]

My February Reads
Well, I must confess I have started more books this month than I’ve finished. I began reading a biography on Leonardo Da Vinci, but the author quickly fixated on the possibility of Da Vinci’s homosexuality and I got annoyed with his obsession to prove it, ignoring the aspects of the inventor and artist that makes […]
My January Reads
No matter how crammed my life may get, I always set aside time for reading. It’s my oldest and dearest hobby, and this year, I told myself, “Let’s try to read 50 books.” Thanks to the Missouri loaning library, I’ve already logged 5 titles on my Kindle. Here they are: 1.Present Over Perfect by Shauna […]
Fiction and Nonfiction Reads for You
About twice a year I try to give a book review(s) of current or recent-past reads. Obviously, your taste may not be my own, but many are just looking for a good recommendation. I read across several genres and receive incredulous looks over the craziness of reading several books at once. Yes, I’m one of […]

A Bike and A.D. 33
In the last four months, I’ve biked over 650 miles. Regarding legwork, I’ve traveled from the northern border of Missouri all the way down to Louisiana. But, I haven’t gotten anywhere. Although I burned calories and toned my leg muscles, I accomplished little else. I saw nothing of the world and didn’t help anyone along […]
What’s on the Horizon
After publishing my first book last year, I felt a great relief and freedom. Whew! After the tedious editing and publishing process, I could finally exhale. Several months later when a friend directed some video footage of me and my work, she asked if I had thoughts of a “next book”. My response involved laughter […]
