Interview with Cara Putman

Captain's Log, Stardate 10.07.2009

I'm so thrilled to have romantic suspense author Cara Putman here with me today! For those of you who checked out my ACFW pictures, this is the same Cara for whom I knit a Victorian lace shawl to wear to the awards banquet on Saturday night! (More cool pics at the link above!)

And now, here's me and Cara!

In your latest novel, Trial By Fire, what's your favorite scene?

Hmm, that's a good question. There's a scene where Tricia Jamison, the heroine, decides it's t...

Mia Rathbun is an earth-conscious, yoga-practicing twenty-something living in Chicago.

Weird dreams - TMI warning

Captain's Log, Stardate 10.06.2009

So one reason I haven't been blogging much the past week or so has been that I've been sick. I got sick right after I returned from the ACFW conference, and then the past 5 days I've also been fighting something.

If this is too TMI for you, stop reading right now. But I also know lots of you guys are mothers, and nothing I can say could be as bad as ch...
