I’m sure some of you thought when I said I’d be posting a heartwarming series starting “tomorrow,” that I actually would be posting the start of the series within the next 24 hours.

New Hair and First Radio Interview!
About a month ago, Darren mentioned that with my delicate frame and exquisite features–I might be rewording a bit ;)–a short hair do might look cute.

Start New Year Off with the Right Kind of Worship :)
As a service to the faith community, I wanted to pass this dryly hilarious video along so we can all worship more effectively in 2010. East Oregonian article by Kathy Aney–my FIRST real interview, as in sitting down and answering questions on the fly instead of my email or chat. Very fun! And a whole […]

Best Books of 2009?
My google alerts for “Christina Berry” or “The Familiar Stranger” bring me little surprises every night. People are still reviewing the book, which means they are still reading the book, which means people are still buying the book, which means I’m a happy author!

Hitting the Links
No, this isn’t about Tiger Woods and the controversy around his late night accident. And, no, it isn’t even about golf, though I do a fair job at the driving range. This is the post that should have been six individual posts and gets condensed into a link happy blog because of how pitiful I’ve […]
