The summer is flying by and so much has happened that I’ve put several projects on hold. For weeks now a couple of obligations have stared me in the face, taunting me with their need to be finished.

Five years ago I started writing Christian fiction and three years ago my first book released, with three more following and another coming next February. What has that meant in my life? Unorganized…

When speaking at women’s groups I often ask how many read Christian fiction, and typically about 1/3 of the hands are raised, if that. There seems to be a common misunderstanding in both the church and the world about Christian fiction.

Leaving Hurryville (Comments From a Former Resident) by Frankie D. Sherman A big concern of Christian women is the epidemic of shallow relationships among women. In an age when broken marriages, moral decline, and unbelievable heartache are frighteningly high, our God-given support system is lacking. What happened?
