L.G. (Laura) graciously agreed to answer a few questions for us. Here's what she has to say!
Earlier this year I read Oathbound, and Victoria McCombs immediately got added to my "read more books by this author" list!

This reminder, for me, is two-fold, because my goal is to publish Christian fiction. My words matter. But also… My words matter. The message I convey has to honor God and His Word.… Continue reading My Words Matter

Instead, here's a quick recap of my year, personally. Early on in 2020, work got overwhelming. My very first post was… Continue reading Goodbye 2020. Hello 2021.
It's been one heck of a year! The craziness of the world aside, my daily life is finally calming down. The part of my job that has kept me from this blog, reading as much as I would like, and working on my novel at all, is done! I feel like I can finally breathe,… Continue reading It’s Alive!
You may have noticed that I haven't made a post at all so far this year. There are a few reasons for that, but the main one is that my day job is keeping my extremely busy lately and will continue to do so for the next few months. So, the plans I have to… Continue reading Officially On Hiatus
The purpose of One Word 365 is to put aside the usual New Year’s resolutions that we never seem to keep. Instead, you pick one word. Just one word that you want to spend the year focusing on and living out… whatever that may mean for you, personally. My One Word for 2020 is focus.… Continue reading One Word 365 (2020)
