Rachel and Susie at Cocoa Beach!

By on July 8, 2008 in Loosen Up!, Uncategorized

Hey all ~ Here’s a pix of Rachel and I strolling Cocoa Beach — sadly, of course, we were…brainstorming a book!  We’re such addicts! Which is why I nearly stepped on a jellyfish.  (They’re these cool little see-through disks, like a blob, on the sand…I said, “Hey Rach, look — ” and stuck my bare toe out to nudge it and she nearly threw me over her shoulder and took off in a run!)  We hashed out her new book, and then worked on one of my scenes.  We always start out with one easy word…WHY.  It’s a great way to get to the heart of the story.  Hope you all are having a great week!   R & S   Share this Post…

Just when you think they’re not learning anything from Television…

By on July 7, 2008 in Nurturing the Soul, Uncategorized

Hey all! It’s going to be a sparse week at MBT – Rachel and I are in Florida, ducking the rainstorms, talking about writing, brainstorming stories…we’ll be posting some pics as the week goes on! In the meantime, my daughter was home this past week from working at camp, and she feasted on Lois and Clark, the second season.  I’d come downstairs from my office and discover her at three in the afternoon, in her bathroom and Superman pants, digging through the fridge.  She’d swoon and say, Oh, Clark is sooooo cute.  I thought — hey, this isn’t a super productive way to spend your summer… until she sent me this devotional she wrote before she left again for camp.  She’s 16, but I like the way she thinks.  Here […]

Shameless Promotion of Finding Stefanie!

By on July 3, 2008 in Loosen Up!, Uncategorized

It’s Shameless Promotion week ~ Now It’s my turn to plug my newest book — hitting the stands this month…FINDING STEFANIE! I’m so thrilled about this story — it’s the continuing saga of the Noble Family.  (If you want to catch up, Meet Nick, and find out Who’s Rafe).  Stefanie Noble put her dreams on hold years ago to keep the family ranch from going under.  Now, they’re about to come knocking at her door.  But will she have the courage to follow them?  Here’s the Publisher’s Description: Everyone around Stefanie Noble is content, but it seems that her “happily ever after” has passed her by. Then two troubled girls and their older brother, Gideon, show up in town and clearly need help. Could they bring the fulfillment that Stefanie […]

CFO Article! “Can you hear it?”

By on July 2, 2008 in Loosen Up!

I’m so excited to announce that my NEW COLUMN with the Christian Fiction Online Magazine is up!  It’s called From the Big Screen to Your Scene, and takes popular movies and teaches writing techniques from it….  Here’s a sample from this month’s issue….  Can you hear it? August Rush Asks a Question   Listen, can you hear it? The music. I can hear it everywhere. In the wind; In the air; In the light; It’s all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up; All you have to do is listen. These are the opening lines of last fall’s delightful movie, August Rush, delivered in the haunting, delicate voice of amazing young actor Freddie Highmore. The story opens with young Evan, a so-called orphan, leading a symphony […]
