Victorian Womanhood vs. the American Christian Church
Note: this post discusses sexual topics, largely surrounding how the Christian church treats women when it comes to both sexual sins and sex in general. If that’s not your cup of tea, this post may not be for you. In 2018, as a brave & bold 17-year-old, I wrote two posts: The Victorian Ideal vs. […]
Why You Should Buy Voices of the Future: Stories of Courage & Compassion
As you know, I am soon launching an anthology with the Author Conservatory … Voices of the Future: Stories of Courage & Compassion. And, well, of course I think you should buy it! However, I do realize that a part of you is probably going, “Well, why should I?” Let me tell you why! But […]
Welcome to 2024 (and how 2023 went)
Welcome to 2024, a year that I like the sound of much more than 2023 (I hate odd numbers)! As 2023 came to a close, I realized that it had only been a month long, and that disturbed me. I should have had more than a month to do all the things I had to […]
A New Sort of Christmas
Disclaimers & Introduction I went back and forth on the content of this post so many times because it’s kind of a downer, but also, I’ve kind of decided that there’s no purpose whatsoever in not discussing the fact that Matthew and I are struggling with infertility (which by the way, serves as your content […]
The Apostle Paul & Speaking to Your Audience as a Christian Writer
That title may have bemused you, and honestly, I’m not sure I have the writing talent to communicate these ideas clearly, so if you don’t understand this, blame me. I can only say I did my best. The other day, I was reading 1 Corinthians 9, and I found myself confused. Not an unusual thing […]

Why Are Today’s Female Empowerment Stories Failing? | guest post by Rachel Leitch, Springtime in Surrey Author
Today I’m sharing a guest post by Rachel Leitch which talks about female empowerment and the way those stories are just … well, they’re not working. (At some point I should probably share my thoughts on this, but I’ve never really gotten around to it. Much like many other things. Meh. ‘Tis a chore for […]
Villainizing Romance & Other Dumb Things Christians Do
A bold title, ain’t it? I hoped it would attract your attention, and I hope the post that follows is worthy of your attention. If it isn’t, well, what can I say? I am only human, and though I have put much thought and many words into this article, perhaps it will still fall flat […]
The Beyond Her Calling Relaunch Blog Tour | Kick-Off Post
Hey everyone! Guess what? It’s now launch day for Beyond Her Calling! Eek! I can hardly believe it. I frankly can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of this book. I have a lot of fun posts coming up in this giveaway – and reviews are being posted on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, etc., too – […]
A Post of Conundrums (in which I ramble about what God is saying to me)
Lately, I’ve been having a lot of thoughts, and it’s been a long time since I’ve rambled here. So I decided to talk about two things: Being a control freak and being a lazy bum. More or less. So let’s talk about that. The Self-Control Conundrum My car has been in two accidents (I was […]
Reflections on a Lack of Accomplishment
(Bear through my depressed mumblings and you’ll be treated with some delightful reveries on Jane Austen. I promise.) There’s so much I could choose to be depressed about this year. No, not the tyrannical impositions our government has placed on its people. Not the riots. Not the lies of various political parties and not the […]
