Tuesday Tidbit

Still battling with the same chapter, the same two pages, but I think they're at their best now.

Monday Quote

I needed a smile and found this from June 4, 2014, a conversation among my heroes, some from books currently unpublished but others from my Holiday, USA series:

Patrick: Cheer up, Brent.
Brent: Is she back, yet?
Leo: Our Lady returned a day or two ago.
Brent: Then it's true.
Richard: What truth is so horrible you bear the appearance of one who's lost his best friend?
Brent: She's forgotten me.
Ian: Rubbish.
Leo: She forgets no one.
Benjamin: Unfortunately.
Brent: Easy for you to say.
Benjamin: Do tell.
Brent: Your publish date is set and on schedule.
Leo: Preening is unseemly.
Benjamin: I am not preening.
Fitzgerald: You are, but it is not the concern of the moment.
Ian: Sorrows shared are halved, and all that.
Benjamin: I don't know why you're complaining. You'll be published before me.
Brent: I was supposed to be published last March. March!
Dusty: Life happens.
Jordan: A series of unfortunately events.
Richard: Best laid plans of mice and men.
Brent: Murphy's Law.
Fitzgerald: What is this Murphy's Law?
Leo: Ask Jack. He knows everything.
Jack: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment.
Jordan: O'Toole's Corollary declares Murphy was an optimist.
Brent: Not helping, guys.
Leo: Never give up hope.
Jack: Our Lady's world has undergone a number of upheavals, but it is settling.
Leo: Stand strong, gentleman.
Jack: Indeed. It's the least we may do.
Patrick: Buckle up, Buttercup. We're in for a bumpy ride.
Benjamin: Who is this Buttercup?
Jack: It's a figure of speech.
Benjamin: It's ridiculous.
Jack: It made you smile. It even made Brent smile.
Dusty: Mission accomplished.

Sunday Scripture

Esther 5:7-8 last  

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

Favorite Book Friday

Coning Undone by Staci Stallings Christian romance. God's timing is perfect. I started reading this book shortly before my father passed. Because of illness, I couldn't read for two weeks, but when I started again I felt like God's hand was on my grieving, through Staci Stallings words. I'm humbled and grateful.

Life happened. Thirty pages to go.

Labor Day

Celebrate with a story...

Faith's Labor

At long last, the fifth novella in the series...

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

Organic herb farmer Faith Walker regrets many things in her life, none as much as marrying a man who divorced her after their wedding night, leaving her pregnant and alone.

Horse trainer Dusty Harper crushed on Faith all his life. What is he supposed to do when she drops back into his life and turns his world upside down?

God provides unexpected answers to those who seek His will...

http://www.amazon.com/Faiths-Labor-Holiday-USA-Book-ebook/dp/B00X5XJLMM/ref=sr_1_2

If you prefer paperback:

Holiday, USA Anthology 2015

All four novellas published in 2015 are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Sunday Scripture

I have no plans to visit Indiana anytime soon, but now I want to visit Jill's Diner in Columbus, Indiana, thanks to Jeff's blog post over at RabBits, and every other "hole in the wall" I come across:

God bless.

Favorite Book Friday

Deep in the Heart by Staci Stallings Christian romance. I'm not usually a fan of love triangles, but I'm always inspired by the journey Staci's protagonists take in coming to God. If I have a paperback, like I do this one, I highlight passages I need in my own life.
