I went shopping again today.  I often pick the longest line because it gives me time to pray.  Unless I forget, which happens all too often.   I become distracted by the women’s magazines.  They are always there, right at the front, tempting a shopper (who is trying to be good) with the impulse to make a last minute addition to what’s already in the basket.  Women’s magazines are never on my list.  That doesn’t mean one doesn’t find its way into the plastic bag with whatever was on my list, like eggs and milk and veggies.  I stopped buying women’s magazines a while back; not because I wanted to save money, but because they are always the same.  Every women’s magazine has a new weight loss program, new recipes, an article on sex (how, where, why, when, with whom), fashion, and some celebrity, usually one who looks anorexic, wears a D or E cup, is air-brushed and gorgeous and has done something to capture media attention - unless she...

The Atonement Child and The Scarlet Thread have new covers!  Both of these novels have been out for a number of years, and both helped me work through some major issues in my life.  The year I spent writing TAC was the most difficult in my life, but also the most healing.  TST helped me see how God has always been in my life, long before I knew and loved Him. 

Take a look and see what you think of the new covers.  I hope you’ll read and enjoy both stories.
