Northland to host 'Meet Our Local Authors' program

Brrrr--it's cold!

Hello Frosty Friends!

Since most of the U.S. is freezing today and if we are lucky we are stuck inside, let’s battle the cabin fever by getting creative and telling how cold you think it is. Under the hashttag #colder than, tweet your reply (keep it clean, please)!

I’m starting this off with:

It’s #colderthan a grounded teenager’s glare.

If you don’t use Twitter, feel free to post here.

Have fun and keep safe and warm! 

A Masterful Analysis of A Christmas Carol

Hi Readers,

I know, I know.  It's been a long time since I've posted anything, something which I've resolved to change in the coming year.  If you follow this blog with any regularity, you may remember when I analyzed my Christmas novel, A Shepherd's Song, with regard to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Well, I came across this fantastic post on A Christmas Carol by Kristen Lamb that I just had to share with you.  She does a masterful job of it, and I encourage you to click on the link below.  For those of you who have read A Shepherd's Song, there is meaning to the names I've given my characters too.  See if you can figure them out.

Enjoy the Christmas season!
