Introducing THE DORKISS WAY

            I am so excited about the upcoming release of my novel The Dorkiss Way. As the first of May approaches, I get even more eager to sign the first copy and hand it over to one of my faithful readers. I’m so giddy with happiness that it is finally about to be in print, it’s almost impossible not to smile.

            This book is by far the most challenging piece I have ever written to date. The storyline alone was enough to keep me up at night writing and rewriting and rewriting and rewriting. The characters are more honest than any I’ve ever been given the privilege to present.

            The main character is a woman in her late twenties who has had horrible luck with men. She, like a lot of women, dreams of getting married, and feels the pressure to do so quickly now that she is close to turning thirty years old. Without giving away too much of the juicy plot, (and trust me, it is juicy!), she meets a Christian relationship coach who introduces her to Christ and the ways of the Lord, which includes celibacy until marriage. The new way of life proves to be adventerous as she is forced to deal with her past in order to embrace her future.

            I’m sure you understand my excitement now. The Dorkiss Way will be out only in a few short months. I’ll be sure to keep you all posted!

Love and Blessings,

Standing on THIS Promise

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint. ~Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)

Don't Worry

Does God Speak?

Even though I was exhausted, I didn’t feel like going to sleep last night when I finally got home. (I know. But I’m getting better. I promise!) I got in bed and happily turned my DVR on to the week’s recorded episodes of The View, one of my favorite talk shows. On this particular episode, as usual, the women got into somewhat of a debate concerning religion and politics. Joy Behar, who seems to be the cast’s most outspoken comedian, attributed someone hearing from God as being “loopy.” Immediately, other members of the show’s panel objected, which made me smile. I was even more elated when one of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center gave glory to God for her deliverance from alcoholism and drug addiction as she sat beside Joy in a later segment of the show.
