This week is a bitter-sweet one for me. I said good-bye to a place that has been a huge part of my life for the last two months. I really didn't think I would take on a full time job, since I was writing full time but God had other plans.
I knew when I took the job that it was temporary, and I knew that I was going to work with some amazing people. I was not prepared for how much God would use the job to grow me. I feel as if in the last three months I have gained three years of spiritual and character maturity. I have connected with some amazing people, and made some amazing memories.
While I will stay involved with Austin Disaster Relief Network, I won't be there everyday of the week. I will be getting back to my writing and blogging, and that is a bitter-sweet feeling.
I never know where God's plans for my life will take me next, but as I have discovered in the last few months, they can move very quickly. I have been very blessed by my time at ADRN and look forward to seeing what God has next in my life.
A writing friend and I were talking about contests, Jane Austen, and group projects and then it happened: we decided to do it!
For the past few months I have been working with Kelsey, Sarah, Rebekah, Emily, Laura, and cover designer Hannah to create a series of books.
The seires? A set six books that retell the Jane Austen novels, set in America 1930's. I am very excited to say that I have had the honor of writing the Emma book which I have titled...
But this isn't all! You can be part of this project too! We are adding a seventh book to the series. A short story collection that you can be part of! Check out the details here:
Last week was a bit hard if you hadn't guessed. My sister Rose had to make a hard but courageous decision, and I was very emotional on her behalf. I used some of the pent up emotions to write some blog posts, and a few people contacted me, with kind words of encouragement.
Before everyone thought that I was over here very depressed, I wanted to tell you that this week has been full of wonderful blessings already.
It started off with a weekend that was restful and full of deep, godly conversations.
The last two days at work have been less stressful and more productive from the week before.
I have been blessed with wonderful communications from friends near and far.
I have been blessed by a dozen small things so that all I really have to say is:
Need another book to last you for the rest of summer? This month, I am putting some of my kindle books for free! Shall we start with one set in the Middle Ages?
Sarah Holman lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Scott. When not working on her next novel, she can usually be found hanging out with her family, reading, or hiking at state parks with her husband. If there is anything adventuresome about her life, it’s because she serves a God with a destiny bigger than anything she could have imagined.

While not the best formatted ebook, not an exhaustive history, I really enjoyed this little book. It was a bit of history, with lots of pictures and interesting facts. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I am not going to be to harsh in this review because I didn't finish the book. I got to the chapter of bigotry and I deleted it from my Kindle? Simply put, I think that the author was unbiblical in much of what he said. The book felt lik...
I wrote this story in one day after a conversation with my mom. It is a what if story. What if Joseph of Arimathea was the rich young ruler and was on the road to Emmaus.

Since I really enjoyed Duty, I jumped at the chance to review Honor. After all, I love how Rachel writes her romances. Yes, maybe there is a little more pre...
