Some of you have asked me…How do you manage to do all you do? God shepherds me along to hold a full-time job and also work full-time on my speaking and writing ministry. Hubby and I have been discussing cutting back on my job to dedicate more time to write and study the writing craft.

I'm quite happy to say we sold out of Whale Song, and I sold some copies of The River and Divine Intervention as well. But as always, it is…

"Raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but?"

I must repeat this oath at least a dozen times a day. Oh no! Not because I’m in court giving my own testimony. What I am doing, as a Spanish Court interpreter, I am interpreting court proceedings. Among the dialogue between judge and defendant is the oath all…
