Genuine good comes when everyone is given the opportunity to give as well as to receive, to bless others and to be blessed by them. Amy Gilbert Richards. I think of all the books I’ve been blessed to read. If my books send out half the blessings I’ll be satisfied 🧡

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:28-29)

Hobbes is really not impressed with Fred and Buck...

When I first wrote Fred and Buck into my novel they were secondary characters. I didn’t expect them to drive the next five books in The Tenafly Road Series. Set in mid-late 1800’s America, Fred and Buck struggle to make their way in life saddled with the scars of abuse and their own flaws. These two calves come from a great home and will be treated like the little princes they deserve to be. I keep my eyes open when surprises come along. I think they’re meant to teach us something. Maybe these future oxen will drive me somewhere interesting!

Buck doing his jumps!

Two innocents living life. 💚

Old glass, old flowers.

What if you can’t write happy stories? What if your heroes don’t wear capes and fly above their sins? What if the best you can do is celebrate the small graces and quiet virtues of a single man or woman who goes to their grave unknown? Every writer has to follow his muse, however sad, hoping his little stories will be but part of a grand masterpiece of shadow and light.
