Daisy’s Decision, book 4 in the Dixon Brothers Series

Daisy has had a crush on Ken since high school, so going on just one date with him can’t possibly hurt, can it? Even if she’s just been painfully dumped by the man she planned to spend the rest of her life with, and whose unborn baby she carries? Just one date?

The exciting conclusion to the best-selling Dixon Brothers series – Daisy’s Decision!

Another great read by Hallee Bridgeman. Once I started reading it I couldn’t stop. I love how the author makes her characters imperfect and relatable. Daisy struggles with self judgment and forgiveness in Dasiy’s Decision. She has some big decisions to make and the author does an excellent job of showing her internal delima. The twist at the end of the story will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Strength Through the Struggle and Ordeal

February 25, 2021

When you think of a butterfly, you think of a delicate insect with beautiful wings that are easily damaged. However, when a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, it struggles until it breaks through the chrysalis, forming a hole and squeezing its body through. Through that immense effort, working through the cocoon develops fortitude and strengthens its wings. Pushing through the hole squeezes the fluid from its body into its wings slimming down the body and inflating the wings. The butterfly is meant to struggle; it needs the struggle to forge it into a complete and functioning butterfly.

Interview with Anne Carol and a Giveaway

February 24, 2021

Welcome to Readers Write to Know! I asked you, my readers, what questions they would ask their favorite authors if given the chance, and the authors visiting my blog answered them! This week, I have author Anne Carol as my guest. I really enjoyed this interview, and not just because we were both in 6th grade in 1984 (heh). I love the way that God inspired Anne to write edgier fiction for Christian authors. Those of you who have read me know that many of my books would be classified under “edgier”. It’s wasn’t easy to put those first ones out on the market nine years ago because oftentimes, readers felt the need to lecture you and bring you back to the sweet and clean writer fold. But I discovered a HUGE audience for that type of fiction. I also love that this book series follows the story of one couple. I LOVE series like that! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Read on to see how you can enter to win an autographed paperback of Anne’s latest release!

Coming Out of Isolation

February 23, 2021

Last weekend, our family started coming out of our socially distanced shell. Our family hasn’t done much to expose ourselves to other people. We are high risk, and we kind of closed off of any kind of group meetings. We’ve had a few social things here and there with individual families, but only outside or at a restaurant, and always masked and distanced. But, we haven’t attended church services or small groups or gatherings of any kind.

Monday Morning Coffee and Chat 2/1/21 – Today We’re Talking About Characters!

February 1, 2021

Hello! Welcome to Monday Morning Coffee and Chat! Today I’m answering the question, “Do characters/people or storylines/situations drive your creativity when coming up with new books? If it’s characters, and you base them on real people, how much of the real person do you put into the character? Is it harder to base characters on real people and get it to fit with your plot?”
