The Strange Necessity of Death by Parker J. Cole

The entirety of this post came to me this morning while I was in the shower around 7:30ish. You may be thinking why would she be thinking about Death so early? I don’t know. Since childhood, Death has been a constant refrain in my mind for one reason or another. My mother and […]

How to Write a Novella by Suzanne D. Williams

I have made my writing career on novellas and short stories. By definition, this is any book less than 40,000 words. To date, I have seventy in publication written in a four year time span. So to say I know how to write one is putting it mildly. I recently read the words […]

In or Out? by Staci Stallings

If you’re a Christian, you’ve surely heard the story of Peter out there in the boat on the wind and waves. Then out from the waves there comes a figure–walking. At first Peter and his friends think it’s a ghost, and they freak out. Through the wind, they hear a voice call out: […]

Finding Inspiration by Ruth O’Neil

Inspiration for writing. Where does it come from? In a word – everywhere. It isn’t just one place. For me, ideas for books are definitely conglomerates. A typical day for me might look similar to this: My husband tells me I give too much information when I talk. He doesn’t need all the […]

Gems From Pastor Jim by Jim Hughes

Ps. 111:10 Reverence for the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom. The rewards of wisdom come to all who obey him. Do you want wisdom so that you can live rightly before God? If so, it begins with reverence for the Lord. We must be in awe of who God is. The […]
