The Author's Back Patio Beyond the Arbour's Gate

This is for those who like to get to know an author more informally. My family is NOT keen on being in the public eye, and they are really watching to see if I'm going to embarrass them, so to a large degree I'll have to focus on myself.

But hey! I know myself better than anyone else, and it doesn't take me long to loosen up and talk about ME - when I have a good listener. In fact, I've often thought there are so many facets to me, and most friends who think they know me, only are aware of one or two.

That's probably why I love the Lord Jesus so much. He knows me completely, and yet, He loves me! He even saves up my tears in His bottles - and oh, the shelves full He must have!

There is no point in repeating myself though, is there? :) So for the basics about me, you could click off to my author bio page, if you haven't already done so, and if you want to see what I've written, there's the Credits page in the Media Kit that shows what articles and books I've written.

Besides that, I pour out my heart to quite a degree in my blog/ezine, RoseBouquet every Wednesday morning. If you honestly want to get to know me, I suggest you bookmark The RoseBouquet!, or put it into your RSS feed reader; RSS feed!

This is a good place to post/index informal photos. In fact, I've got a couple of my Dad with the spinning wheel he built from scratch the other summer, so he could spin yarn out of mohair goat hair. You can see photos of Dad here. Also with his first Great-grandchild!

And More Family Photos here with wedding photos of my parents, and one last good one of Mom.
