Woof! Jake the Boston Terrier, Interviews Donna Winters
As you know, I love dogs and have three of my own. The most outspoken of the three is Jake, a rescue dog. Jake is a Boston Terrier that a fellow blogger willed to me upon his death all the way from Pennsylvania. And since this boisterous canine is more than able to speak for himself, I’ll let him take …
Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids?: How Moralism Suffocates Grace by Samuel C. Williamson
My degrees are in Christian Education. So as soon as author Samuel C. Williamson asked me to read and review this book I jumped at the opportunity. Could it be that my life’s work has been for naught? Had I led a generation of kids and teens astray? I had to wonder because some of the kids I’d worked with …
Autism + blizzard + flu = one tired Mama!
So, I now have two sick autie men (my kids with autism are 19 now), and there’s a blizzard outside. What could be more fun, right? I’m supposed to be working on two overdue manuscripts, but instead I’m feeding chicken soup to the two curled up together watching Downton Abbey. That’s not all bad, I suppose. But books and stories …
Ally’s Angle: Fantasy Literature: Through the Facade
Today’s post is written by my intern, Allison O’Neil. Last week I wrote about the value of nerd-thinking: the genuine desire and love of learning, teaching, and research. This week I want to explore another nerd-related topic very near to my heart. Fantasy literature (and a lot of sci-fi) are my favorite kind of fiction. While I love a good …
Interview with Award-Winning Author, David S. Brody regarding his new release, Powdered Gold
I’m excited and honored to introduce you to David S. Brody and his latest release, Powdered Gold. I’ve written about Brody before, and I read three of his books over Christmas break while recovering from surgery. I’m happy to say Powdered Gold: Templars and the Ark of the Covenant kept me as entertained as his two former books in the …
Z is for Zoom!
It is with great sadness that I introduce the last letter of our A to Z blog hop: the letter Z. Or as they say in Australia: Zed. Z is for Zoom! Which is my favorite thing to do. I love go to FAST. Unless I’m running. Then it’s not zoom but doom. But as long as there are other …
Ally’s Angle: On being a nerd
Today’s blog post is written by my talented intern, Allison O’Neil! I’ve always been a nerd. The term gets slung around by bullies and “cool kids,” and in this sense can mean anything from an insufferable know-it-all to an uncoordinated kid whose clothes don’t fit. But that’s not why I like being a nerd. For me, being a nerd is …
Beloved by Robin Lee Hatcher
I’d never read a book by Robin Lee Hatcher before this one and I wasn’t disappointed. Hatcher has written more than 70 novels and her expertise in weaving a story is evident. From her website: Winner of the Christy, the RITA, the Carol, the Inspirational Reader’s Choice, and many other awards, Robin is also a recipient of the prestigious RWA …
Y is for Yentl
Today’s A to Z Meme is sponsored by the Letter Y! Y is for Yentl. Yentl is my favorite, favorite movie of all time. Disclaimer: I do not at all agree with Barbara Streisand’s politics. Also, this movie does have some “hiney” nudity. Yes, I’m a prude when it comes to watching such things in a family setting. This is …
