In Hold Her Close, at Rose’s lowest, when her heart shattered and her throat was too clogged with tears to pray, she turned to a prayer she’d learned as a child. The words of praise didn’t come easy for Rose that day, nor do they for many of us in those moments. When the prayers… Continue reading Praise the Almighty – A Crown of Promise Devotional
I woke up this morning so drained. It was finally Saturday, and I'd planned to sleep in. Not wake up before the sun. I lay in bed, trying to convince my brain to go back to sleep but it was having none of it, determined instead to go through the week that was. The ups,… Continue reading Just What I Didn’t Want to Hear

She has what would these days be known as endometriosis, though it was very much an unknown back in the middle ages. Would it have caused… Continue reading What I Wish People Knew about Having a Chronic Disease
Four weeks ago, I broke my arm. Like every good injury, there’s a story behind it. Unlike a lot of injuries though, this one actually has two stories behind it. Because it started with a book: The Summer of Yes by Courtney Walsh. If you haven’t read The Summer of Yes, you should. It’s amazing.… Continue reading Falling isn’t the same as Failing
Like my previous books, Hold Her Close starts with a psalm. Unlike my previous books, I’m finding it really hard to share this one. Mostly because I’m not there yet, and sharing something like this when so often I fall short in my own life feels so hypocritical. I mean, Christian authors are supposed to… Continue reading My Daughter, I see you
Twenty years ago, I went on my first short term mission trip to an orphanage in Thailand. Ten years ago, I wrote a novel based on it. This week, 15 May 2024, that story is being published. Talk about a journey! But this story goes back further than that—to when I was just a kid,… Continue reading The Story Behind the Story
I love reading the Young Adult genre. Sure, it’s aimed at people younger than me but so many of them are written in such a way that people of all ages can enjoy them. They’re stories of characters who are just coming out from under the umbrella of their parents and learning not only who… Continue reading Young Adult Book Recs
Continuing on with the differences I found really intriguing - or that just made me smile - on my recent trip to the USA... 6. Yellow school buses Nope. We don't have these. Some schools (mostly private schools) have their own fleet of school buses but they're usually white with the school logo or design… Continue reading Things You Won’t Find in Australia (Part Two)
