BOM: Delilah, Reaction and Reviews
As I write this, Delilah hasn't been officially released, though reader review copies have gone out. And so I'm happy to report that so far, the reviews for Delilah have made me very happy. I read reviews, not to feel pumped up, but to see if I'm reaching my goals--if...
BOM: The Editing of Delilah
Every book needs to be edited--no exceptions. Dave Long is my most excellent editor on this series, and honestly, the thing I remember most is this: When Delilah is feeling threatened by an enemy from her past, Dave wrote, "Why doesn't she just send Samson to kill...
BOM: The Writing of DELILAH
I keep a ten-year journal--I've done it for 18 years. I can only write a few lines on each page, but it's enough to remind me of where I was at that point in each year. The other day--May 11, to be exact--I read the entry from May 11, 2015: Worked VERY hard to finish...
BOM: The Research
When writing about ancient times, a writer must do a lot of research on daily life--how did people travel? Cook? Make clothing? Work? What were the social circumstances? What was the status of women? What gods were worshipped, and by whom? In writing DELILAH, I faced...

Welcome to the Party OR Starting a New Novel
Starting a new novel is like going to a party where you don't know anyone, no one wants to talk to you, and you're not really sure what you're doing there. There are people--characters--who look at you and dare you to shake them up. You don't really know them, so you...
A Labor of Love: Tampa Bay Dog
Years ago when I began to take pictures of dogs at the SPCA, my world changed in many ways. First, I became keenly interested in photography, to the point that I am now a professional photographer (when I'm not writing books). Second, I became aware that there is a...
Bathsheba and Ahithophel
I've been tickled pink with most of the reviews of BATHSHEBA as they trickle in, but I'm always a little chagrinned when someone takes issue with something I wrote in the book. For instance, I read a review last night where a woman said that "nowhere in the Bible...
