Look what I found on Amazon the other evening! A Pioneer Christmas Collection: 9 Stories of Finding Shelter and Love in a Wintry Frontier This is the upcoming collection featuring Defending Truth, the novella for which I received my very first author contract this past September. Needless to say--I'm very excited!

Real, live blog post coming soon. I promise. In the meantime ... My latest Sunday devotional is up at The Borrowed Blog: "The Former Days." For those who find themselves looking back ... or might be afraid to. Last Sunday's, for those who struggle with waiting on God: "Weary in the Waiting." And Part Two of my post at A Novel Writing Site, on Primary Sources.

Some time back I was invited to become part of the team over at The Borrowed Book. After one thing and another, I took the plunge and accepted the slot for writing Sunday devotionals. My first one debuts today:  Beyond "I Can." And I have part one of a post discussing the use of primary sources in historical research at A Novel Writing Site. Blessings on your week!
