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

On “My Thoughts” page I write occasional articles that are encouraging and sometimes humorous. Writers, please take a look at my page “For Writers.”
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
