Welcome Mat Wednesday: Vickie McDonough

I’m so happy to welcome author Vickie McDonough as today’s Welcome Mat Wednesday guest poster! Vickie is the author of 25 novels and novellas, including her latest release–End of the Trail.  We’ve been chatting this month about moving, traveling and transition. So what happens when God transitions you into something you totally didn’t see coming? I love Vickie’s take on …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Jill Kemerer

I’m so happy to welcome writer Jill Kemerer to Tag(g)lines today!I have to tell a cool story about Jill…back when I first started reading her blog, she had just begun a Writer’s Survival Guide series. Her first post, if I remember right, was all about attitude and our mindset at writers–and it was exactly what I needed to hear. I …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Elizabeth Musser

Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to welcome today’s special guest–author and missionary Elizabeth Musser. In addition to wonderful books such as The Swan House and Words Unspoken, Elizabeth is also the author of the recently re-released Two Crosses, Two Testaments and the long-awaited finale, Two Destinies. I love Elizabeth’s books…and I love the fact that today we not only get to …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Carol Stratton

Let’s give a hearty Tag(g)lines welcome to today’s guest,  Carol G. Stratton, author of the 40-day devotional, Changing Zip Codes: Finding Community Wherever You’re Transplanted. I love how Carol described herself in an email to me: “reluctant expert mover.” I’m guessing we all become reluctant experts in one thing or another. (Me? Pretty sure I’m an expert spiller.) But I …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Tessa Afshar

I love discovering new authors! Even more so than discovering new hair products. (Yes, I have a problem. Yes, I blame it on seriously rebellious hair.) So, I was delighted to come across  Tessa Afshar‘s Pearl in the Sand. And now she has a new book out, Harvest of Rubies. And what’s really, really exciting: she’s here today and she’s …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Nancy Herriman

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I’m so happy to welcome debut author Nancy Herriman as our Welcome Mat Wednesday guest. Confession: one of the things that drew me to Nancy as a guest is how much I loved the cover art of her debut novel, The Irish Healer. It’s soooo pretty! And her first lines are fabulous: “My name is Rachel …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Edie Melson

In a week and a half, I’ll take off for my first Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. I’m so excited…not only to attend, but to see wonderful friends like today’s guest, Edie Melson. Now, Edie isn’t just any ol’ face at Blue Ridge–she’s actually the conference co-director. Which I’m assuming means she’ll be able to sneak me a private …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Lindsay Harrel

Yaaay, for Lindsay Harrel being today’s Welcome Mat Wednesday guest!! Okay, so here’s the thing–I sorta love the Internet. I love the Internet because of people like Lindsay Harrel. She may live on the other side of the country, but we’re connected by the awesomeness of the World Wide Web. Thank you, person who is not Al Gore who invented …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Keli Gwyn

Yay, today we have the lovely Keli Gwyn as a guest here at Tag(g)lines! As I mention in the video intro, I haven’t met Keli in person, but I’m so glad to have found her blog. I feel like I’ve gotten to know her through her fun online presence! And I can’t wait for her debut novel, which releases on …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Reba Hoffman

There are encouragers. And then there are people who encourage you so much you start to wonder if they’ve got some kind of superpower. Reba Hoffman is one of those people I met Reba at the 2009 MBT Storycrafters Retreat. She’s a hoot, and she recently launched her own life coaching business–Magellan Life Coaching. And…as soon as I picked “adventure” …
