Struggles as a newly published author.
The whole experience of self-publishing has been a challenging event. I can’t say it’s all been worthwhile, but I can say it’s been an eye opener. I’ve spent hours asking a major question of my journey – was it meant to be. Did God have plans for my fictional story about an old woman who …
What will Tess be up to in 2023
The new year is a few days away and I’m getting geared up to start writing my new story about Sara, Kevin, and of course Tess. I have some interesting story lines for my next book.

New beginnings!
The past month has been difficult. I continue to struggle finding ways to get my book read. I feel as if I’m swimming upstream and all I’m getting is weary. As a Christian, I prayed that God would help me with directions in how to market my book, but even that isn’t helping. I’ve wondered …
Tess comes to life!
Since I am a living history performer, I decided to take that ability and present Tess in a program as an introduction to my book. I’m struggling deciding how far into Tess’s story should I go to get people interested in buying my book. If anyone who reads this has an idea let me know. …
Hello -is there anyone out there?
My website was down for two weeks, giving me plenty of time to decide what and how I was going to do a blog. I blogged a few times – a few responded, then nothing. Absolutely no response to what I wrote. So, I’ve decided I would have some fun today. If the whole world …

Tess’s thoughts on Christianity.
Tess in her early days with Sara and Kevin, continued to be confused on what she saw as Christian beliefs. She’d been used to facts. Like a scientist who only believes in proof and facts, Tess struggled to understand all of it. Sara, Kevin, and others were telling her about the Bible, but all she …
Baptized three times -really?
Being reborn in Christ when I was 10 years old, was exciting but confusing. What was I supposed to do next? I was told I would be joining a church. I was told I would be confirmed in the Holy Spirit by being baptized. My parents had done that to me when I was a …
Converted at 10 years old in a one room country church
When I was 10 years old, I was attending a revival in a small country church in rural Kentucky. The evangelist, who was one of my dad’s friends, gave an alter call at the end of his sermon and I went and knelt at the alter. Reverend Dickson was his name. I can’t remember what …
Opportunities writing Tess gave me.
Many years before I started my book, I wrote about experiences from my earlier life. I have been published three times, and what a joy it’s been. Two came from my childhood, and one of a memory about my great grandparents’ old homestead. These stories were personal experiences. When I decided to write fiction, I …
