Where Grace Abounds:

True Stories from Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers

April 25, 2008:  Thank you to everyone who has sent me stories for my book! There's some exciting things happening with the project. I'd appreciate your continued prayers. I'll let you know when something develops...

Me and my 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad.  Since we're Star Trek fans, we named him Spock.  (Guess we could have named him    "V- -ger.")

Currently Reading:

      Call me crazy (and this drives my beloved husband nuts), but I can't seem to read just one book at a time.  I usually have several going...which means they may sit on my "currently reading" list for a very long time (in case you're wondering).

 

 

 

Recently Read:

   

I read part of this one in anticipation of November's National Novel Writing Month (www.NaNoWriMo.org ). I've found it very helpful, and I have a few ideas to implement before November!

 

Read about more BOOKS I've read and my thoughts on them on my About Dianne page.
