People…I can now officially say I’m a podcaster. So here’s the thing: A little over a year ago, my friend Clay Morgan and I took our love of classic movies WORLDWIDE. We figured someone out there must enjoy talking about films from golden era Hollywood as much as we did so we started filming our chats and releasing videos on …

Wendy Paine Miller is back…with a new novel and a Q&A!
When Wendy Paine Miller released her first novella last year, The Disappearing Key, I knew I had to read it. I’d been a regular reader of Wendy’s blog for quite awhile and had a pretty strong feeling I’d love her writing style. And I did! Her writing is lyrical and poignant, distinctive with a strong voice. She visited this blog …

Heads-Up Seven-Up
Did anyone else play Heads-Up Seven-Up in grade school? That game made me SO nervous. I mean, if you were one of the seven people up front who had to go around and choose someone’s thumb to push down (if you don’t know the game, that sentence fragment probably made zero sense), there were just so many implications. If you picked …
Gilmore Guys (a guest series) . . . LOGAN! Featuring Jessica Patch and a giveaway
True story: The first time a reviewer compared my new book, Here to Stay, to the TV show Gilmore Girls, I may have squealed a little. Or a lot. Because I love that show. It’s one of the only shows of which I’ve seen EVERY episode multiple times. The characters, the dialogue, the storyworld…the wit! Several other reviewers made the …
Did you win?? And a new book cover!
Last night I participated in the Bethany House Book Banter. Oh my goodness…So. Much. Fun. The questions flew like crazy and I did my best to answer as many as possible. (If you were there, though, and I missed your question, you can find me pretty much anywhere online. Just ask away again and I’ll answer!) Thanks soooo much to …
Help me make a major life decision! (aka the pros and cons to becoming a roadie)
So every once in awhile I get hit hard by wanderlust. It’s not so much a travel-bug-y feeling as it is a “I’m restless and want to go do something crazy!” feeling. It hangs around now and then but usually fades away before I get around to jumping out of a plane or anything. This time, though, it really seems …
Thor vs. Loki. And the coolest superhero ever.
Last week on my blog we had super fun conversation about Thor and Captain America and who is coolest. But I noticed a common (and enthusiastic) theme in the comments section: A collective love for one Loki. Now, Loki freaks me out quite a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I love him. It’s just the constant possibility of betrayal that …
