Writing Projects





My writing projects will take you to the Rocky Mountains and to the city streets of the homeless. To help you stay warm, I am serving virtual hot tea. Care for some lemon and sugar? Perhaps cream?








Here are my recent works:

Catch Your Death
By Mary Vee
YA Mystery Suspense-In progress

The lives of twin sisters take an abrupt turn when one finds an old book in the corner of Granny's attic, the corner mother forbid them to ever go.


Fated
By Mary Vee
YA Mystery Suspense-Complete

        Liz Tomlinā€™s shortcut home through the alley after school introduces her to homeless girls her age. She shares food and chats for the ten minutes they stay. It was a way to help the less fortunate and made her feel good.
On her walk home one day, though, Liz listens to a frantic voice mail from her mother. Someone was trying to kill her parents. Tires squealed in the background. Her father yelled to her mom to destroy the chip in the phone to protect Liz. Momā€™s last words were, ā€œTrust no one.ā€
Desperately wanting to save her parents, she searches her home for clues and finds one torn news clipping on dadā€™s desk. She is forced to flee when suspicious men appear at the door. There are no extended family members to contact and she refuses to suck her friends into the danger. 
With no safe place to hide, Liz turns to the homeless girls for help. There she hears about a place where she can slip back in time. . Although no one has seen any time-traveler again, rumors say they went back to the most important time for them to right an issue. 
All Liz has to do is find the portal and hope it takes her to the last morning her parents were home. Maybe then she can save them and end this nightmare. 

I know the thoughts I have for you. Thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11


Who Invited Hank? 
By Mary Vee
Women's Fiction - Complete

Sam Windermere, a successful marketing intern, is lured by her parents to leave her hectic Chicago life for one week of relaxing in the Windermere/Tucker family-share lodge. When she arrives, she discovers Hank Tucker attempting to steal her pre-assigned week.

The generation old disagreement between their families over an innocent toy sparks when her parents arrive a few hours later ready to celebrate Christmas and find Tucker there. It blazes out of control when Hankā€™s parents pay a surprise visit.

Whatever happened to Peace on Earth? Sam is stirred to unite the families but can't do it alone.


Oh, how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity. Psalm 133:1

"Who Invited Hank" sounds interesting. :) I used to live in Michigan, way up at the top. I write Christian historical fiction. I've gotten to the "top" at one publishing house, but wasn't chosen. The waiting and wondering gets hard at times.
Thank you, Karen. So, were you still a troll? Or did you live over the bridge? I have lived in both places over the years.

We have many readers join us who enjoy Christian historical fiction. I'm so glad you've joined us. I too, ventured to the top of a publishing house with a YA bookā€¦.and wasn't chosen because they had just contracted a similar book. I totally understand. Don't let this stop you. Bumps in a road are not roadblocks. I'll be your cheerleader!

Suzanne Woods Fisher - Overcoming the Fear of Failure

We've all had something fail. Maybe a school assignment, baking a cake, changing a car tire. Well that was my shortlist confession. There really is a mile long list that you don't want to hear.  Talk about a quick drive to the blues. Even one negative comment in a barrel full of praises can take us down. Sigh. Why oh why do we remember the one negative one and forget the positives.  You are not alone. We all do this. But there is a way of escape. Today, Suzanne Woods Fisher is going to share her story. The Fear of Failure ā€œFor I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you. Do not fear; I will help youā€ (Isaiah 41:13, niv).              Years ago, before I received my first book contract, an editor returned a manuscript to me with the comment that the writing wasnā€™t up to her publishing houseā€™s ā€œcaliber.ā€  Ouch!  That was a tough remark to swal...

A Memory Device For You

Photo Courtesy Recently I added a memory game to my week's activities.  It all started when I listened to one of those fabulous sermons in church and actually took notes. Later in the week, I recalled liking the sermon and searched for the notes, but lamented when I couldn't find the piece of paper. I quizzed myself: What was the general topic? I racked my brainā€¦good grief this was Thursday and a thousand other things had happened when I asked the question. After a cup of tea, visualizing where I sat in the sanctuary, and using every other means possible to remember the general topic I finally answered the question.  The process to recall the rest of the good things said was an epic fail.  Although I have since started using a notebook I have created a memory game. On Monday, at any point during the day, I try to say the following without the use of my notes: General topic of the sermon Main book of the Bible used  Application p...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Laura Frantz

Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. Itā€™s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshellā€¦ Iā€™ve written stories ā€“ historical fiction only ā€“ since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didnā€™t ...
