In the Beginning. . .

Getting ready to begin a new manuscript can be a daunting thing. At the beginning of this year I start a contracted work for Abingdon's newest Quilt series. At this point the proposal has been approved, the contract is in place, the vaguest of research has been conducted--usually enough to give some idea of setting as background for the proposal, but not enough to consider...

Fantasy Book Review: By Darkness Hid

About the Book: "Half of Er’Rets is locked beneath an impenetrable shroud. On the side that still sees the sun, two young people struggle to understand the mind-communication abilities thrust upon them. It’s called bloodvoicing. Some say it’s a gift.

Field Trip Feature ~ Christmas Traditions Edition

One of my favorite holiday traditions is gathering with all of my sisters and mother and cooking Christmas dinner. I'm Hispanic, so of course our meal consists of a few non-traditional side-dishes, tamales being one of my favorites. But there are plenty of traditional items as well, and one that is quickly becoming a family favorite is homemade pretzels! I picked up this...

Eye to the Experts: The Back-Space Key of Life

Last week, I was thinking this morning about milestones in history, perhaps because it was December 7, or Pearl Harbor Day in the United States. Not all milestones are tragic, of course, but the important ones profoundly changed how we lived. On 4 September 1882, Thomas Edison threw the switch on the first electrical power distribution system. For the very first time,...

Field Trip Feature ~ Candlemaking in 5 Easy Steps!

I came across an interesting video awhile back when I was conducting research for my upcoming novel from Bethany House Publishers, No Safe Harbor. In it my heroine, a young Irish immigrant, goes to work for a chandler. Because many of the scenes take place in the candle shop, I thought it might be interesting to learn a little about the candle making process. Keep in mind, the chandler in my novel doesn't use soy to make his candles. Still, I thought...

It's just...
