Excerpt Fiona groaned. “Now I have to go back to dating.” That moment, Simon recognized later, was his undoing. Specifically, that sound, the heart-wrenching sound of Fiona’s sadness, weariness and despair. It dug right into him and precipitated his final descent into foolishness. That, and the idea of watching her […]
How can you not admire a woman who remains in the small town she has always lived in despite the animosity of the townsfolk towards her? Determined to hold on to her parent’s heritage and provide for her twins after her husband’s (excuse me, ex-husband’s!) treachery towards those who trusted […]
Bridget determined not to make a mistake in the choice of her future spouse, and therefore she has compiled a list of exactly what she is looking for. And Ryan knows that he doesn’t want to have his family struggle financially as his own parents did, so he is determined […]
“Don’t move. Don’t breathe. And especially, don’t try to take any pictures!” the guide admonished my friends. I was in South Africa for a conference and we all had the opportunity to go on game drives. This was an amazing trip! One of the groups that had gone out on […]

“That’s my favorite color!” Favorites are important to our society. One of the ways we get to know one another is finding out favorite foods, colors, vacation destinations. Yet when it comes to people, it can hurt when the favorite is not you. I remember when I was in elementary […]
I have really been enjoying the Return of the Blackwell Brothers series! Each of the authors has written a story that works so well with the others. I love the concept of each of the five brothers being called back to help with their grandfather’s ranch, one by one, in […]
Today, I have author Cari Lynn Webb with me. You may remember her from The Rancher’s Rescue which I reviewed last month. But we are talking about a different series this time, City by the Bay. Grab a nice cup of hot tea (or coffee if you must), sit back and relax […]
I was glad to have an opportunity to read another book by Catherine Lanigan. I enjoyed her book that I read last March which was also in this series. . . Hmm. What to say? A handsome firefighter who rescues the damsel in distress. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? […]
A dear friend of the family who has known me since I was knee-high to a grasshopper had commented once that when I was little, I was always rescuing critters of one sort or another. I was very surprised because I hadn’t really noticed that I do that. But I […]
The B twins. Just hearing their name caused a shudder in those who had babysat them. They were known for getting into mischief and creating a lot of work for those tending them. What I discovered, however, was that these boys were a lot of fun. Yeah, they did have […]
About brothers and sisters and teenagers by Liz Flaherty Thank you for having me here today. The only teenagers I raised were the ones I’d known since birth, whose diapers I’d changed and whose personalities I’d had something to do with and who I loved more than I ever thought it […]
