Happy Release Day– November 15th! Today we chat with my dear friend and author, Bonnie Leon, about the revised and re-released version of her very first novel, The Journey of Eleven Moons. This fantastic Alaskan-adventure novel was first published twenty years ago (Thomas Nelson), and re-released TODAY! I’m excited to glimpse life in the Aleut tribe of 19th-century Alaska.

Everybody’s Got A Snag
If you’ve been following my Facebook escapades, you know I’ve recently spent some time at a mountain cabin belonging to some friends. Which mountain? Snag Mountain. Never heard of it?

What I Love About the 10 Commandment Movie–Part 1
I LOVE the 1956 movie, The Ten Commandments, directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter! Seriously, one of my all-time favorite flix.
