Writing Opportunities
What a joy to still be able to do what I love, writing books, in my “Golden Years!” Working on my 12th book, the 5th for Whitaker House, on another fascinating woman in the Old Testament. Just when I was considering whether this would be my last book, a wonderful...
My Roomie
After Frank died, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. The house was quiet and lonely with no one to talk to. Friends were faithful, but there were many quiet hours alone. Then, through a friend of a friend, I met Valerie. She’d come out from Ohio after retiring from...
