It’s the first Welcome Mat Wednesday of the New Year. Woohoo! I officially started welcoming Wednesday guests in December 2011, and it’s fun to look back at the list of who all has stopped by Tag(g)lines since. Such a cool group of authors, industry professionals and other fun friends. And I’m really excited about the lineup already in place for …
Seriously Important Question.
Whenever a drink looks this good, it’s a suresign I’ll probably spill it. Ask my family. I’m on the final leg of an epic writing weekend which is stretching into Monday. (No, I’m so not crying about getting to wear pajama pants a third day in a row.) If this writing sprint had a theme song, I’m pretty sure it’d be …

Bethany House and MBT Storycrafters …all in one weekend.
It was one of those surreal weekends. And I know, saying it like that makes it sound like I have surreal weekends all the time. Not so much. But this one, oh yes. Here’s why:Three years ago, I attended my first-ever My Book Therapy weekend retreat–the 2009 Storycrafters Retreat. I was a total writing newbie, excited but uncertain. And I …

I’m so thrilled to have today’s guest here at Tag(g)lines–author Peter Leavell! I met Peter just briefly at the recent ACFW Conference after he gave a fabulous devotional on Saturday morning.

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Margaret Daley
Today, I get the fun of welcoming author Margaret Daley to Tag(g)lines! I’ve read a number of Margaret’s books–but not all 83 yet! 83! Her topic today is such a good one–issue-driven books and an author’s passion for what she’s writing about. I love hearing why authors choose to write about different topics and issues. And I love mulling over …

Admittedly, these are some weird ACFW Conference goals.
Dallas, here I come!!! I have had quite. the. summer. Let me tell you… But I can’t just yet. Not the specifics anyway. But it’s been one of those, “Whoa, God, You rock!” kinda seasons and I’m still a-flutter. In the midst of my excitement, I’ve been getting ready for the ACFW Conference. Many friends are also attending…some, sadly, aren’t. …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Jenness Walker
I’m so excited to have author and bookstore manager Jenness Walker at Tag(g)lines today. First of all, I just think she’s a hoot. Second, I love her books. Third, she offers a fun and unique perspective since she’s both a book-writer and a book-seller. It’s possible I may have spit out my pop in laughter during her post. Enjoy!(And be sure …
