My friend Anne Elisabeth Stengl has graciously agreed to guest post for me while I’m on my missions trip! Here’s her post: It made perfect sense to me. When he came striding into the fencing gym, his long winter coat flapping to his ankles, looking like someone stepped out of a gas-lights-and-hansom-cabs novel, my first… [Continue Reading]

A couple of things about the picture: You can barely see the “bookcase,” but that is a pie safe from my great-grandmother Collins’ home. That home inspired the book Things Left Unspoken. Another “bookcase” is the pie safe from my grandmother’s kitchen (unseen in this photo). The blue and throw over the back of my… [Continue Reading]

Welcome to my “office”! I’m excited to share my writing space with you. Here’s a bit about what you see here: The roll top desk is my quiet time space. Close at hand are my NLT Bible, journal, and photos of people I pray for regularly. The table with the laptop is where I study,… [Continue Reading]

Here’s my writing space! My desk holds an endless supply of papers waiting to be filed or recycled, my computer, a transcriber for phone interviews, and my phone. On the wall near my monitor is a pic of my kids when they were young. On the wall near the bookshelf is a pic of my husband and… [Continue Reading]

I have the dirtiest computer—not in the bad language manner but in the covered-with-a-film-of-dust-and-dirt category. We’ve heard of soccer moms and stage mothers. I’m a writer who trailers my kids and horses across the nation. My Apple computer, fondly christened MacBeth, is the essential I bring along. Last summer we hauled two horses sixteen hours to… [Continue Reading]

What’s on my writing desk? I don’t have an actual writing desk . . . and the surface of my “desk” is hard to find. I always have my Tervis Tumbler full of water close at hand. In addition, my “desk” is covered with homework, laundry and my daughter’s makeup. There’s probably some dog hair… [Continue Reading]

OK, this is my writing “desk”: my lap. I do almost all of my writing either when my girls are at school and baby is napping, or when everyone is in bed. I write sitting in my favorite spot on the “big couch” on either my iPad or my trusty dinosaur of a Dell laptop. Here… [Continue Reading]

What’s on my desk and why (clockwise from the upper left corner): A world map that’s nicely rumpled. Anita Higman’s manuscript, which I’m reading for endorsement. The premiere issue of ACFW Journal, which my hubby designed. Reader snail mail I need to answer. Pink and blue index cards for my latest (failed) attempt at plotting…. [Continue Reading]

I was sitting out back on the deck reading when I saw Tricia’s note about this feature. I either work inside at my desk or outside on my table out back. So, here’s what was on my outside desk when she asked: Tablecloth—makes it more homey! NIV Life Application Bible—for quiet time outside and reference… [Continue Reading]
