Getting Off This Roller Coaster

I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster these last few weeks and months. I must be rising toward the peak today, because I feel excited and jubilant, though I couldn’t tell you why. Nothing has physically changed in my life. My circumstances haven’t changed. But my view of some things is slowly changing. Maybe that’s… Continue reading Getting Off This Roller Coaster

Preorder and Land Updates

Bonjour, mes amis! C'est moi, Ellowyne Wilde. Yes, I’m as shocked to be writing this post as you are to be reading it. Then again, Laurie’s busy packing to leave on Wednesday for a writer’s conference in Texas, so who better to pick up the slack around here than moi? I thought she’d forgotten about us… Continue reading Preorder and Land Updates

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. To see in visual form a taste of what I've only up to now imagined in my head and written down in black words is truly invigorating. Makes… Continue reading Tinsel’s Cover Reveal…

I Dedicate This Book To…

The other week, I briefly mentioned I plan to give the proceeds of Tinsel in a Tangle to a ministry that helps restore physical and spiritual health to girls rescued from sex trafficking. [Update: The specific ministry I decided to donate to is called Agape International Missions. To learn more, visit them at agapewebsite.org.] This… Continue reading I Dedicate This Book To…

Tinsel Doll Part II

Summers usually find me accomplishing far more knitting than writing. This summer is no exception. In some ways, however, I've still been able to hobnob with my book characters, since the items I knitted were for them. Here’s a snapshot of where I left them (and you) in Part I: Shortly after that post, I… Continue reading Tinsel Doll Part II

That’s My Girl

Several years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to delve into the world of smartphones shortly after the iPhone 5 had been released. Cut to four and a half years and one battery replacement later, the antenna in my iPhone 5 finally went kaput last week. Though I can’t receive or make phone… Continue reading That’s My Girl

Did You Call Me or Not?

Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to become a published author before the age of forty. Never did I expect that dream to be such a thorn in my side. 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?

DIY Doll Tree Swing

Bonjour, mes amis! C’est moi, Ellowyne Wilde. It’s a sad time to be me these days. Not only did I (and my dolly peeps) get booted from our cozy home in Laurie’s dining room and crammed into a cold-hearted cabinet (because of a move to another town that ended up not happening!)... ...but we learned a few… Continue reading DIY Doll Tree Swing
