A reviewer of my books wrote that they “offer spiritual tonic and hope.” They are inspirational and insightful. Check them out on “Books” page.

Writing and Reading Sick


We all get sick at one time or another. I’ve
been sick enough so that I didn’t even feel
like reading, much less writing.

Being sick seems to knock the props out
from under any creative thought process.
Talking about looking at a blank computer
                 screen. Those few times I’ve attempted to                    write through sickness were almost futile.
                 I did manage to get down a few words but                    really nothing of consequence. If you’re a                     writer, can you write although you are                          sick? How do you become determined to                       do so? Maybe deadlines?

I try to keep a list of my five favorite novels.
                Along the way I add some and
                take away some. But I think I
                could read any of the five novels
                while sick. In fact I carried a
                favorite novel to the hospital and
                was reading it when I had a small
                heart attack. I can’t blame the novel for bringing on my heart attack because it was a sweet story not a murder-suspense story.

               Here, I’ll share the current list of my five                      favorite novels (their covers pictured on this                 blog):
               The Familiar Stranger by Christina Berry
               Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
               Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
               Rooms by James L. Rubart
               The Same Sweet Girls by Cassandra King
