Wornoutwoman

I found my first review on Goodreads today.  I was like - YES!  People are surprised and feeling - truly feeling - the emotion that I poured into every page. So far Amazon has four reviews - all 5-stars. From the day I started writing this one - God whispered in my heart, 'This is the one.'  I don't know the extent of what that means until all the chips fall, but so far this is starting out much better than the other books I've released! If you've never read any of my books --- YOU NEED TO START WITH THIS ONE. It's something special ...  the synopsis tells a bit of the story, but by no means delves into the whole thing.  There's not enough room on the back cover of a book to give readers a glimpse of what truly is between the pages. If you're able to read this one - please leave me a review.  Reviews are how other readers find me. So, I thank you in advance! AND THANK YOU, NELL!  I'm honored you like my books.

Okay - I admit - this is a horrible photo of me, but I had to introduce you to my set director for the reading of Finding Kylie. The date is set for October 3rd, and she has such vision and passion that I know it's going to turn out great! We met for lunch today and she (upon meeting me for the first time) enveloped me in a huge hug. I knew I loved her ... she has a heart and a bright smile. We talked about the visuals she's going to put in place and then, in turn, asked me about who each character was.  Not just 'what does Timothy look like?' but 'Who is he and what makes him tick?' This way when casting they would put the right actor in place to make each character as authentic as possible. By the questions, she asked I could tell she'd poured over the script, not just perused it.  So I had to ask her ... what she thought.  Her words blew me away.  In essence, she loved it.  This is a well-versed professional, who knows her stuff, and she loved ...

From time to time, someone will leave a review stating what they didn't like about my books.  Hey, it happens.  No one is going to like the same thing all the time.   And even when I get a review that is less than stellar, I'm still honored that someone has taken time to leave their opinion, as that is just what it is. Recently, I got a review saying there were typos in one on my books, which happens.  Unfortunately, not every proofreader will catch everything. Even James Patterson will have a typo or two. What I found hilarious is that when this person left her comment on my book - she had a typo in her review. The last sentence in her review read like this:  I will not be reading the remainder, nor will I bother will the follow-up.   Hmmm - is it just me or shouldn't that read - 'nor will I bother WITH the follow-up? Comments like this make my day.  Not just because they help me get better, but because i...

Once in a while, you get one of those feel-good spiritually uplifting moments and you can feel God's arms wrap around you and your heart. It's as if you can almost feel His presence right inside you, reminding you of his love. Well, what I'm getting ready to tell you about is also one of those feel-good, uplifting projects that will give you goosebumps. You all know I'm a fan of Hallmark anything - and it's not just because I've met Brad Moore, the President of Hallmark Films. It's also because of the quality of the films they put out. When I hear of anything new of theirs, I grab my tissue box and get ready for a sweet and clean movie. My husband makes fun of me every time, yet he often stops and watches, interested whether he'd admit or not. Let's face it ... he makes fun of me a lot. I cry at Extreme Home Makeover. I cry at a military USAA commercial, with the scene where the troops finally come home and rush into the arms of their love...
