About Me:
I'm the single mother of seven (or six, depends on the day) children. Two I acquired the old-fashioned way. They are twenty-one and eighteen - unbelievable, but true. The other batch I came by via adoption, three are still at home, ages sixteen down to seven. Most of my adopted and foster children are special needs. My two original offspring are not. No, I am NOT a saint - well, except in the sense that all believers are. I just did what I believed God wanted me to do...

Maybe it's time to weave all this experience into something that will glorify Him.

I've been writing unofficially (that is to say, mostly unpaid) for about eleven years, but now that things are a little quieter on the home front, I'm finally buckling down.

My heart is definitely edgy. I didn't come to Christ free of baggage and neat as a pin, I don't see why our fiction is supposed to reflect some bizarre Pleasantville mentality, or why those of us who see things a little more like life actually is can't have a voice out there in publisher land. Isn't it all about grace?

So Yay for this site and the writers and readers who are banding together. Yay, I say!!

BTW, don't be fooled by the tulips. I happen to live in the Northwest and I LOVE tulip time up here. You can love tulips and be edgy. Yep, you can!!

New Network Site!

Hi guys - I just wanted to let everyone know that I started a new group: Edgy Christian Critters. It's an online critique group for those of us who are a little off the traditional CBA path. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm finding it difficult to find online critique groups that get me. =) Anyway, this is a place specifically for critiquing, and I'm excited to see what God does with it! Just look under the group tab. Hope to see you there, Kathy

Yes - we are practically neighbors - though I avoid Seattle as much as possible. I hate cities (especially driving in them)
God bless!!

Kathy,
I put a bit more on the "Critter" for general consumption.
I may be done (wouldn't that be nice) for a while.
Let me know if you prefer to delete it.

Hi Kathy,
I just placed some recommended initial guidelines on the "Critter."
Take a look and let me know if you approve ... or not.

I'd love to join the Crit group. But how?

Where is the link? How do I get there?

Thanks, Kathy, for reading Demon! And for your feedback. :) I hope you enjoy Havah--it's quite different, though!

Hey, Kathy. Thanks for the invite. I know absolutely ZERO about this stuff and am not a great blogger on writing blogs, but get me on political blogs, and I'm very articulate. I don't know what it means to 'add a friend'. Like I said, I'm not very knowledgeable about this. Am I supposed to do that, add friends? Do I add you, or what?

I love the tulips in your photo. Great shot!

I'm also going to go over to your blog and check it out.
