If you know me at all, you know one thing for sure: I talk. A lot. I always have. Somewhere along the way I realized that writing is just another way of talking—only you don’t have to interrupt me. So think of these blogs as me pulling up a chair, pouring a cup of coffee, and sharing the things that matter to me. The stories I want to tell. The God-moments that stop me in my tracks and beg to be shared. Recipes that are too good not to make again and pass along to friends. And bits and pieces of my journey through life as an author, a writer, a cook, a creative soul, and yes… someone who still talks a lot.
Here’s a little about each blog. You may click on each picture to go directly to that blog. You’ll also find them listed under Blog in the top menu and also in the side menu.
On The Author Journey Blog, I share the heart and hustle behind my writing life. Here you’ll find book updates, conference moments, creative breakthroughs, honest reflections, and the little everyday experiences that shape each story. My hope is that by sharing my path as a Christian author, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and maybe even a few stepping stone for your own journey. Grab a warm drink and come along.
On The Writing Desk Blog, I share practical writing tips and tools for editing and writing,, plus insights I’ve gathered from years of working with words. Whether you’re polishing a manuscript or just starting to explore your writing voice, I hope you find encouragement, clarity, and direction here. As a Christian author who has edited, mentored, and written for many years, it’s my joy to pass along lessons that light the way for your own writing journey.
Welcome to The Devotional Porch, a quiet place to rest, breathe, and reflect. Here I share simple Christian devotionals, gentle encouragement, and the life lessons the Lord places on my heart. Faith isn’t always tidy, and life isn’t always easy, but God meet us right where we are. My hope is that these reflections bring comfort, truth, and grace to your day—like sitting together on a porch swing with a glass of sweet tea, talking about God’s goodness.
Welcome to The Kitchen Table, where I share simple Southern recipes, warm memories, and a touch of old-fashioned hospitality. After 75 years in the kitchen, I’ve gathered a big recipe box full of tips, tricks, and stories that make cooking joyful and meaningful. Consider me your grandma in the kitchen—sharing comfort food, tried-and-true favorites, and the little life lessons that come along with them. I hope something here inspires your cooking and makes mealtime a little sweeter.
