My apologies for not sharing the remainder of my 2014 reading list sooner, but I’ve been busy writing. 🙂 Here are my top picks from the second half of last year, and just in time to curl up with on a snowy day along with a nice hot cup of tea. Enjoy! Discovering Your Soul Signature by Panache Desai – non-fiction […]

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is the 1st of September, but I guess I can’t really complain. This summer we took two vacations (one with three generations of the Neill clan), spent a few days here and there at the beach with good friends, used our lovely back patio a handful of times (pesky mosquitoes) , and of course, […]

Aside from our God given talents, I believe we all also have “special gifts.” Mine include: 1. Being able to walk into any store and pick out the most expensive item without looking at the price tags. 2. Making a mean cup of juice (see recipe below and ask my brother). 3. Finding great first novels from up and coming […]

With Memorial Day just a few short weeks away, and since I haven’t posted a recommended reading list lately, now feels like a good time. Thanks to my Kindle and Bookbub.com, I have been reading throughout various genres and below you will find a mix from middle grade to chick lit. Happy reading.

I made a vow when I started my most recent book however, that when I am done it will be time to move out of “pre-thinking” and back into actual writing again. For anyone looking for one last […]

For anyone who actually follows my blog, sorry i’ve been absent for so long. I have read quite a few good books over the past few months though, so here are some must reads before summer ends. Enjoy! The Dig by Michael Siemsen A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck If I Stay by Gayle […]

While I may be a few weeks behind in posting this, here are the three books that rounded out my summer reading list. Hope everyone is looking forward to fall as much as I am – it’s my most favorite season (when we actually have a real fall). Distant Shores by Kristen Hannah – a great book for at the […]

I’ve been on a bit of a reading binge for the past few weeks, which means not much time for writing. Below are a few books I’ve finished recently, and as you’ll see, the genres couldn’t be more wide-spread. I learned something from each and every one of them though, and that’s the whole point of writing isn’t it? To […]

This year I thought long and hard, and ended up making a sole birthday request. I told my younger brother that I would like to have my beat up copy of Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls back for my birthday, and he came through. While I haven’t cracked it open just yet, it is at the top […]
