What? It’s barely January and I’m already thinking about Valentine’s Day? Well… you know, romantics. Actually, my husband “doesn’t believe” in Valentine’s day because it’s “orchestrated by Hallmark” to force the purchase of cards and overpriced candy. And those bears with the little magnets in their snouts. Sigh. Do you know what it’s like to  […]

Just a few hours left until the ball drops in Times Square, and the peach drops here in Atlanta, to ring in 2014. Time to take a quick breath and reflect back on the past year… Looking back over 2013, I see a year of blessings and challenges. We had several changes in our household  […]

Featured image for Christmas Past: Reflections of a Convert - Image Source at http://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/XmasMandaSmile-282x300.jpg
Can I be honest with you? No rabbis in the crowd, right? As a whole-hearted convert to Judaism for nearly eight years, I have to confess: I’ve been missing Christmas lately. Not the religious meaning (sorry, bumper sticker people), but the secular, gift-laden family event that was Christmas morning at my house growing up. You  […]

This time of year is always filled with a mixture of joy and sadness for me. I love the fall colors, the cool weather, and the time to relax with friends and family. Since it’s “Thanksgivmukkah” this year, the joyful part is amplified, especially for two little boys who are thrilled they get to play  […]

First, just let me say that when I decided to publish The Marriage Pact in 2011, I never would have dreamed that two and a half years later, I’d be releasing the third book in the same series to eagerly-awaiting friends and fans. And that I’d be writing Rebecca’s story to boot! So fun. I’m  […]

Long hours alone, staring at a blank screen in the beginning of a project, then a screen overwhelmed by words you’ve seen so many times you’re going blind near the end. Writing well requires attention to detail, emotion, plot, character and  […]
