Passing Strangers: Meet Matthew
Matthew is a widower, the father of two young children, a boy and a girl, and a full-time lawyer. When his wife died, he hired an Irish nanny to care for his kids, but Inga has gone back to Ireland to marry her fiancé. What's a frustrated father to do? Here's...
Passing Strangers: Meet Andie
The idea for Andie's character came about by my worrying about those John plus Kate plus eight minus one kids. The entire country watched that family unravel, and it wasn't pretty. So I began to think about what those kids will be like in a few years, and how they...
BOM: Passing Strangers
Where the idea originated . . . This book spent a long time in the "percolating" period and even longer in the "not quite ready" period. But I clearly remember the moment the idea popped into my head. I was sitting with Nancy Rue and other writer friends at a banquet...
Book of the Month: Passing Strangers

Hi, everybody! First, a big thank you and howdy to the folks in Kansas City--those who belong to the Heart of American Christian Writers' Network (HACWN). (I hope I got those initials right). I spent all day yesterday with them, teaching and swapping stories, and...
Intrepid.
Intrepid. The word is usually applied to people who climb Mt. Everest or explore the North Pole. But today, in fact all this week, I have been applying it to myself, though others might look at what I've been doing and call me foolhardy. I come by my sense of...
Ask Me Anything . . .
Hi, everybody! First, happy birthday to my daughter today, for whom I made a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting as per her request. 🙂 I'm leaving to go out of town tomorrow, so I hope everyone in the family eats that huge cake before I get back. (I already...
Have you Been Wounded by the Church–Poll Results
I owe a big "thank you" to the nearly 400 people who answered my poll about being wounded by the church. I'm still sorting through all the personal comments you left (and I am getting my dissertation written!), but I wanted to share some of the clear "big pictures"...
