25 Things About Me






I was tagged on Facebook to tell 25 things about myself! I had so much fun listing the facts that I decided to post the list here on my blog! Enjoy!

1. I’m married to a totally blind man who is a computer programmer for the IRS.
2. We have a three and a half year old son who is the cutest, most intelligent child that ever walked the face of the earth! Really!
3. Although we attend a Baptist church, I don’t consider myself Baptist…just call me a Christian.
4. I’m an author and my fourth book was released this month…go buy it! My fifth novel will be released in June.
5. I love homemade desserts and I love to bake. Want a piece of my lemon pound cake?
6. I love books! Christian fiction is my favorite, but I read secular novels occasionally, too.
7. I’m impatient.

9. I’m an accountant during the day.
10. I have three sisters: One older and two younger.
11. I’m the only sibling in my family who has a kid.
12. I don’t care for salad, I only eat it to stay healthy.
13. I eat bagel and cream cheese OR oatmeal for breakfast each week day.

Early Christmas Present!


I don’t usually blog twice in one day, but I had to comment about the fact that when I got home from work (my job closed down at 3:00 today), and checked the mail, I discovered that I’d received my monthly shipment of novels from Heartsong Presents. I’m a member of the book club, and in the shipment received, my novel, Milk Money was enclosed. It’s been officially released to the bookclub members! So, if you’re a member of the Heartsong Presents bookclub, you should be receiving your monthly shipment soon (that is, if you haven’t received them already!) If you receive them today, like I did, you may want to consider reading my book over the holidays!

More Stocking Stuffers!



I contacted my publisher recently and discovered that although my book Milk Money won’t be released to the Heartsong Presents bookclub until January, people can still order Milk Money now and receive it shortly (way before the book club gets their copies)! So, I blogged about purchasing John’s Quest as a stocking stuffer here. However, if you already have John’s Quest or want another Heartsong to enjoy for Christmas or Kwanzaa, then consider purchasing Milk Money. For only $2.97, it’s a bargain that I think you’ll enjoy!

Call (800) 847- 8270 to place your order. If the line is busy, you can also fax the order form to Barbour at (740)922-5948.

I still have winners to announce for several book giveaways. I should be mailing out the majority of those books tomorrow. Also, I haven’t drawn a name yet for The Shack giveaway, so if you’re interested in winning that title, don’t forget to leave your comment!
