It is important every once in a while to step out of our own little world and look at what's going on around us. I love that my kids' scout pack collects food donations for our local Food Pantry every year.

While the Oregon Trail was the most well-known route to the Gold Fields, the Isthmus of Panama was a quicker, safer, and much more expensive way to go. In the "Call of Gold," Jacob takes this route, encountering danger as he takes part in a Pack Mule train. www.amazon.com/Call-Gold-Ba...

This castle in Schwering, Germany, is seen twice in the novel I am currently writing. The first time is on a journey to new lands, and the second time escaping from absolute terror.

I'm raising funds for my year of Scouting. Would you be willing to support me? You can use this link to help me reach my goal: trails-end.com/store/scout/...

It is in its first draft stage, but this is the chapter I am working on right now, just about 2/3 of the way in.

It is important to take time away from writing to spend time with the man I love more than anything. Without him, my inspiration would fall flat!

I realize today that much of life can seem like you are stuck in the fog, that you can't see past the current crisis going on. But, if you just take a step back and take a deep breath, you'll find that the fog is only temporary, and as you are going through it, it is slowly disappearing.
