I'm probably not posting on the correct page but I wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kathy Herman's books!! She is my favorite author. Whenever I read her books, I forget about all my problems and can focus on what's going on in the book. Sometimes, I get up a few minutes earlier for work, just so I can read from her books before leaving for work! :)
Ashley,
I moved this comment to post with Kathy so you could join the gang there. :)

Hi, Mary. Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved 14 Mornings Till Christmas. What a great story, made even more special by the background information. Thanks for writing it and sharing it with us. For some reason, I think some of my comments are not making it to you. I get an email saying that your email link for me is not working. Just wanted you to know I loved your story. Happy writing.

I knew Vainutis and was encouraging him to write his memoirs when he was in Houghton. You may be the best person to write his story. His old friend is Valdas Adamkus, past president of Lithuania. You may contact him for information. I was at the church on Tuesday.
Saulius,
I wish I knew you were there. I would have enjoyed shaking your hand and speaking with you.
Dada, as we affectionately called him, would not have written his memoirs. His interests, as you also know, were much more in the realm of medicine, botany, and music. However, I have heard his life story many times, each with a new light, nuance, flare, spark, etc. I was honored to go with Dada and the rest of the family to Lithuania once and see where he grew up and visit places he knew and loved. What a beautiful country. Thank you for your encouragement. Perhaps one day, I can complete such a work.

Vainutis spoke a lot about himself and that is oral history. Some of his contemporaries are still around. Gather the information now for future endeavors. Saulius Simoliunas saulius@ieee.org
:) My husband said the same thing regarding gathering the info now for the future. Great minds think alike.

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 ...
