How When God Turned His Head Became the First Book in the Locket Saga

When God turned his Head was not the first book of the Locket Saga that I started. I actually started Soldiers Don’t Cry several years before I started When God Turned His Head. I started writing When God Turned His House, based on a conversation that Rachel and Elizabeth had with Phillip and Gerald when they were talking in the parlor of the Mayford house the night that Phillip and Gerald arrived. Rachel mentioned that Elizabeth was only her half sister and that her parents had been indentured servants.

This got me to thinking, who were the parents? This article tells the process I took to make this book a reality. MORE

The Dream and the Drummer Boy

When people ask me where I got the idea for my Locket Saga series, I tell them that I had a dream where a young woman and a young man were sitting on a rustic wooden bench made from a log split in half in front of a log cabin wall and he used the old line, “Haven’t I seen you before?” To that she answered, “matter of fact, I think we knew one another as children.”


After that I woke up and wondered how that might be incorporated into a story. How does this and the story of a drummer boy lead to the creation of the Locket Saga? MORE

Getting Into the Flow

I have been asked numerous times how I am able to publish nine and have two more books in the editing process in seven years. It seemed a lot harder when I first started than it does now. It is really not easy even now, but I have discovered some tricks over the past few years that not only writers can use, but anyone can if they want to make better use of the time that they have.

Finding time to write is no different than finding time to exercise, time to make from scratch meals, garden, or even take care of livestock. Everyone is given the same twenty-four hours every day. It’s how we spend that twenty-four hours that determines what we make of it.
I discovered that once I did the thing that I wanted to do and did it regularly, I was able to get into what experts call “the flow” much easier than I was able to do at first. Click here for some of the key ingredients. http://wp.me/p2sm3J-Ht

A few weeks ago I wrote a joke about an interrupting cow. Here’s a link to that post http://wp.me/p2sm3J-Fw If you went to the site and this is the first time that you heard of the joke, you probably laughed. If it was only the second time, you may have only chuckled a little. However, any more than that and you would have probably just rolled your eyes and said that old joke again.

Kelp: A True Super Food

I learned a number of years ago that kelp is an excellent supplement not only for me, but for my pets, livestock, and the Soil. Kelp is a form of seaweed that I think everyone should know about. This is why I wrote my book on the subject. MORE

The Benefits of Gratitude

Since the beginning of the year, every morning, whether I feel like it or not, I have been writing down three things that I am grateful for. When I say whether I feel like it or not, I mean when I start, not necessarily a few minutes later when I have written something that I am thankful that I have.
It’s easy to complain. It is easy to find what is wrong in this world, but it is important that MORE
