Deadly Betrayal is the first novel in the Hidden Dangers series. It is a gripping mystery that leaves you guessing. Boyett does an excellent job of weaving together clues, vibrant characters and a fast-paced plot that will grab you on page one, and carry you through to the end. I was sure I had it
Welcome to the City of Defiance
There is a city in Ohio named Defiance. If you watch the TV show, Scandal, you’ve heard of it. I thought it was just a fictional city…after all, the significance of the city in the show conveniently matches its name. However, it is a real city, and I believe my two youngest children could be the
With a Wave of Her Hand
A wave from a friend across the hall doesn’t seem like a big deal to most kids. When I come to pick up my youngest from kindergarten, much to the teacher’s dismay, kids jump out of the seat to hug her goodbye. My son sees a fellow classmate in Walmart, and they wave eagerly at
Refreshed, Recharged and Rarin’ to Go!
After a year-long break from my blog and my writing, I am fully refreshed and ready to go at it again. Though I am glad I took the break, it wasn’t an easy year. Opening my laptop, I was confronted daily with my Scrivener icon, begging me to finish editing Miracles in Disguise, or begin working

The iPad Takeover
Slowly, silently and with the stealth of a cat approaching its prey, my children have taken over my iPad. The screen, once laden with apps for my writing, banking, and household management has been replaced with Dora, Team Umizoomi and Barbie. My device’s bookshelf contains scores of children’s stories, and I juggle my books in
The Wordless Testimony Test
A couple of weeks ago we were visiting a church where they were finishing their youth’s D-Now event. The service began with a baptism…which is always a great way to kick off a service. As the pastor began to unwrap the testimony of this young man, I was moved. Note: baptisms always make me cry
