I had the pleasure of “meeting” Sharon through ACFW’s online critique loop, when we were exchanging several chapters of our stories back as I worked on Tinsel in a Tangle and she, Hesitant Heroes. Fast-forward a few years and we’ve since teamed up with several other young adult and middle grade authors to form a… Continue reading Author Spotlight: Sharon Rene

The Wait is Over
So...it's been a while since I've posted. From my experience as a mom of 15+ years, we mothers seem to go from one busy season to the next busier season as our children grow, and my blog has taken a backseat to other priorities. But I thought I'd take a quick moment to share with… Continue reading The Wait is Over

Tinsel’s Cover Reveal…
At long last, it's finally here! Tinsel's book cover! I. Am. So. Excited! This has got to be my favorite part about the publication process so far.

Having grown up in a Christian home and coming to faith in Christ at a young age, I've long understood that God… Continue reading Did You Call Me or Not?

Something Fun ‘n Flighty…
...Because sometimes a Tuesday can feel like a Monday. So, here's a little ditty just for fun. I wrote this a few months ago one Saturday morning when I woke up with the first line running through my head. Have a blessed day! What Will I Do Today? Today I’ll cross swords with an… Continue reading Something Fun ‘n Flighty…
Bio for Pitch Wars 2016
I’ll keep this short and sweet, since I’ve restarted this post umpteen times trying to sound witty and intriguing, and it ain’t happenin’ this morning. I’m a simple, low-maintenance girl whose Twitter blurb says it best: Jesus comes first, family second, passions third. I love writing, knitting, and recently discovered the joy in creating dioramas… Continue reading Bio for Pitch Wars 2016
