Merry Christmas to you! #Christmas

The drama of Christmas Eve can escape us, but for them it was real. #christmas

“It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.” — Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Merry Christmas!

The #Christmas proclamation, chanted tonight at the midnight mass, is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written about Christmas and captures the history ..

“Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.” — G.K. Chesterton Merry Christmas Eve

Last research day before Christmas! By this time next year my most ambitious historical novel will be out!

Give the gift of story this holiday season. You will be transported. www.amazon.com/stores/autho... #book #author #historicalfiction #travel #writerslift

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

It took me about eight years to research and write this book and it was worth it. The story still haunts me. In a positive way.  a.co/d/hYFhdsJ #rome

I’m working 4-6 hours a day on my historical novel, immersing myself in the ancient world. Sometimes it takes me awhile to come back to this one! But it is moving forward and will be published next year! #writers #historicalfiction
