Hi Regina, thanks for sharing your thoughts about traveling and your books.

We Are All Travelers

The Christmas season is one that is always filled with hope, excitement, and most of all anticipation. It is also a time when many travel to meet their loved ones and to be reunited with family. In thinking about Christmas and the theme of traveling, the voyage of the Holy Family comes to my mind instantly. They had to travel long hours, day and night, over rugged terrain to finally find a stable where the baby could be born. 

And all through his life, Jesus seemed to travel, meeting as many people as he could while he went from town to town. As our Savior, he was traveling in an effort to help others find salvation. And even today, we know that people are on a journey to find salvation. 

The theme of traveling and the quest for security, stability, and love touches both of my most recent books in very different ways. In one, the heroine has to travel away from her family to find the freedom to live her faith in Christ. And in the second one, the heroine travels back to her family and her hometown to find the truth that she has not known for many years. 

Common to both of these experiences is one thing: love is the driving force behind the journeys and love from another individual assists each of these heroines in finding the truth that they are so desperately seeking. And this support and encouragement does not always come from the individual that each heroine would expect it to come from.”

Looking inside, is it possible that we may encounter someone on a journey and be a positive factor in that journey? Just as Jesus traveled and persisted in his efforts to spread the word and help others find salvation, so can we be helpers when we see others along the way. Whatever they are looking for, it is possible that we might be able to assist them in finding what they are seeking. Christmastime is a glorious reminder of the redemptive power of putting yourself in someone else’s traveling shoes.

About Light a Christmas Candle

What are the chances that accidentally knocking over someone’s trash cans on a dark street would lead to a new lease on life?

Moving to Chestnut Crossings is Lucy Carrington‘s only chance to live her Christian beliefs free from ridicule. But when she runs over the church trash cans, her new beginning gets off to a rocky start. Thankfully, the pastor is as forgiving as he is handsome.

Pastor Jim Sullivan is impressed by Lucy. She’s a woman of her word and doesn’t seem to take the easy way out. But when he offers her a job, he soon discovers her quirks---she’s always late, embraces as a blessing something he views as a curse, and is hiding something about her past...not that Jim should judge. He has issues of his own he’d like to keep hidden.

In Light a Christmas Candle, discover a holiday season filled with challenges, forgiveness, love, and restoration.

About Reflections of the Heart

Now, she intends to find out why.

Once in town she meets estate attorney Don Farrell and asks him to help her get the truth about the past. He is fascinated by her and helps her, despite his own dilemma: his colleague is embroiled in a shady deal that has turned dangerous. When she works with him on a prayer garden project at the church, the hardness around her heart begins to melt. Will she be freed up to live her life, reflecting God’s shining plan for her future? And will that future be with Don?
