Favorite Book Friday

Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow autobiography of his early years through college and his first year with the Denver Broncos. A remarkable person, inspiring, encouraging. It's also interesting to look at how far he has come and the amazing things he has since done with his life.

Tuesday Toss Up

Revisions continue. I discovered a Marques who was really a Duke. Not to mention a few incorrect verb tenses. Don't get me started on the misuse of quailing instead of quelling. Once. All the others are correct. Embarrassing. How do these errors manage to successfully hide through dozens of edits? 

 

Monday Quote

It's ok to be concerned about it, 

but don't be consumed by it.

God has it under control.

(Found on the internet.) 

 

Sunday Scripture

Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Favorite Book Friday

Victim #8 (Luke Steele series Book 2) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. Heart-stoping action and adventure. Luke and Amberlyn struggle with their relationship as they work together. A great team. Read again in preparation for the new Book 3. 

Silent Strike (Luke Steele series Book 3) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. What a fascinating inside look at the White House. Fictionalized, of course, but with some fact based details. Fun. Action packed.

I'm doing the final read-through of "A Promise of Possibilities." Found a lone wandering e. Can you see my eyes rolling to the back of my head? I am praying for wisdom and courage. 

 

Monday Quote

What a ridiculous little thing 

to be given your very own heartbeat 

and spend it worrying about whether everyone approves of the sound.

Halloween Tomorrow

Celebrate with a story.

Secondhand Samhain 

The seventh novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Jan Connor, the new manager of the secondhand shop Vintage Holiday, loves her job, her town, and her life. She doesn't need anything except a little bit of help. Her annual Halloween birthday party isn't coming together, and her antiquated computer system is only making it worse.

Trent McDonald, computer guru extraordinaire, is looking for a place to call home. His brother, Cowboy, suggested Holiday might offer what he needs but never mentioned Vintage Holiday's pretty shop manager.

Between one breath and the next, God changes everything...

Tuesday Teaser

Will I ever republish my books? Yes, yes, I will. Why is it taking so long? I'm writing revisions. Why? To correct mistakes I made -- spelling errors, wrong words, missing words, wrong eye color between books, yep, I did that, and other continuity errors -- and to add things like descriptions and clarifications. I'm endeavoring to make the books their absolute best I'm able because I'll never revise them again. Where am I in the process? Toward the end of book four of the first four. Thank you for your endless patience. 

Halloween is coming.

Thanks to Donna Keevers Driver for creating this for me:
