Remembering Loved Ones

May 25, 2025 //  by Janet Grant//  12 Comments

As I considered what to write about on this Memorial weekend, my memory floated back to the year my brother and I muddled our way through May gift-giving. That May was the first year we were old enough to consider …

August 25, 2024 //  by Wendy Lawton//  7 Comments

Let’s explore how to cook a nonfiction book. I am an enthusiastic home cook. It’s a hobby and rather than cooking the same thing over and over again, I try to stay fresh so my enthusiasm for this daily task …

Give Thanks to the Lord

November 20, 2023 //  by Rachel Kent//  4 Comments

As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought it would be nice for us to share some of our favorite Bible verses about being thankful and giving thanks. Sometimes it is hard to be thankful to God when we can’t see the big …

I’m still jet-lagged from my cross-country flight home from Savannah, Georgia, but the afterglow of our eighth Books & Such Retreat has not begun to ebb. What is it about spending time with those who understand what our life is …

November 13, 2022 //  by Debbie Alsdorf//  25 Comments

“What kind of books do you write?” my neighbor asked. I told her a little of what I’ve written, smirking she said,”Oh, you’re a Christian author.”

Afterwards I kept thinking of those two words, Christian author. I remembered  penning words …

Work vs. Rest

September 4, 2022 //  by Wendy Lawton//  4 Comments

It’s ironic that on the day we honor labor, I’m beginning a week of vacation. Well, not really vacation since I’m going nowhere. It’s important to recognize when we need a rest from labor. Our creative souls starve for adequate …

Brain Fitness

July 24, 2022 //  by Wendy Lawton//  24 Comments

We writers have a challenging job. We try to eat healthy, drink water, move our muscles and improve our health to keep up with the pace of marketing and deadlines without flatlining along the way. All are important for fitness …

I wrote this blog post for New Year’s 2009 (you know, during the economic recession). As I pondered leaving behind 2020 (thank, God!) and looking through the dark hours of the pandemic, I realized my 2009 meanderings are just as …
