Hi Paul,
Ha! I obviously don't get over here very often. I just now saw your message from Sept. LOL. What do I write? Well I write romance and paranormal. I've turned in two new books last month. Right now I am finishing up a book on bulldogs that I free lanced. I'll write just about anything if the money's right, and I'm inspired to tackle it.
I am a wife, mother of 4, and a mother-in-law, and soon to be a grandma. Woo Hoo. My Son Seth(27) and his wife Valerie are expecting. I am thrilled, so are they.
I hope all isgoing well with you.
Blessings,
Desiree

Thanks for stopping by, and for your encouraging comments. In answer to your question, I live in central CA. Finally, it's cooling down!

What sort of fiction do you write?

My medieval romance, that's coming out Oct. 24, isn't an inspirational romance--though it does have an inspirational undertone. In every book I write, I like to nudge the reader to look at God and His role/presence in our lives. I like to do this best by making my characters grapple with tough moral dilemmas, like I did in this book.

Hope your writing is going well--whatever it is you're working on! :)

Hi Paul- thank you for your welcome letter. Our Emilie is such a gorgeous woman - we agree! Inside and out - a blessing to us - as are all the kids (we can't pick favorites!) Take care and thank you again for making us feel so welcome....KMD

Hi Paul,
I'm going to leave this message here because I'm not sure you're able to check the messages in your inbox at the top right of your page. Ning did some platform changes a week ago that messed up several things across our network. Some of these glitches they have not been able to fix. (and this is supposed to be an improvement. ha!) Also, when you make the changes to your profile, be sure to scroll down and check the save changes button. Sometimes members don't see this unless they scroll down so it's easy to miss. Ning also makes you sign in periodically for security reasons. If none of this helps your situation, just message me again and I will turn in a report for you to Ning about your page problems. Lynda

Hi, Paul!
Thanks for your interest in Straight Ahead Min. Actually, Straight Ahead's main mission is expanding the borders of the kingdom of God. So, recently they were able to purchase a building in Russia where they have their book store (the only Christian book store in a 600 mile radius), where they teach Bible studies, have Sunday worship services, and Alpha seminars. The location of this building has lead many international medical students to Christ since it is close to the medical school. Straight Ahead has a huge Koinonia fellowship because of that, as wellas Chinese and Malaysian. It's exciting to see the faith of these students grow and then ultimately when their college time in Russia is done, they go back to their home country and have the opportunity to spread the gospel there too.
Hope that answers some of your questions. :)

Thanks for adding me as a friend! :)

Paul,
Thanks for friending me.
Blessings,
