Blackburn's Defend and Protect series is off with a bang in Unknown Threat. This heart-racing romantic suspense is one for the keeper shelf! Don your tactical vests and get ready to engage a compelling story that will forbid you from abandoning its pages. Do. Not. Miss. This. One!

Unknown Threat is a fantastic read! An action-packed opening and sharply drawn characters drew me right in and held me captive. Blackburn has an exceptional gift for weaving twisting plots with characters that walk right off the page. I absolutely adore Faith, the bright and stalwart FBI special agent. I love the attention to detail regarding Secret Service operations. The swoon-worthy romance between Faith and Luke is the perfect slow burn. Unknown Threat is an exciting start to a thrilling new romantic-suspense series!Elizabeth GoddardAward-winning author of the Uncommon Justice series

Count it all joy?

I joined a gym last week. As I perused the group fitness schedule, I noticed a class called Intense Fit. My body said NO WAY but my brain pointed out that the handout specifically said the class was for “all levels” so it couldn’t be that bad. My body is still ticked that my brain won… [ read more ]
Does God Care When We Suffer?
Posted on Monday, March 12th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Does God Care When We Suffer, Mindful Mondays, Suffering, When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane

Last week, we asked a tough question …Does God care when we suffer? Because He knows everything that is and was and will be, maybe He is able to view our suffering with a dispassionate air. Maybe not. Let’s dig a little deeper… In John 9, we read the story of the man born blind. A man, Jesus tells us, who had… [ read more ]
When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane
Posted on Monday, March 5th, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Joy Dare, Mindful Mondays, Suffering, When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane

When you grow up in church, it’s so easy for the stories of Jesus to become—well—boring. After so much repetition, we lose our sense of wonder. The miraculous becomes mundane. When the wedding runs out of wine, we aren’t concerned. We know Jesus makes great wine. When the crowds are hungry, we aren’t worried about… [ read more ]
The Cone of Shame

It happened again last week. I entered the Cone of Shame. If you have kids, you’ve been there. It started out innocently enough. Everyone was smiling as I announced that we (that would be me and my three littles) were going to the store and then we were going to get French fries!(They were. I… [ read more ]
Do You Feel the Love?

Every now and then, I have a great idea for a blog post, but the words won’t flow. So I change gears. Write something else. And wait. I have waited months. This time, I only had to wait a week for God to finish my thoughts and leave me, again, in wonder at His love… [ read more ]

Please indulge me this Monday morning as we take a trip to the archives. My family is recovering from a 10 day battle with a nasty stomach virus. And I am recovering from some of the harshest criticism my writing has ever received. This post seemed appropriate. Grace and peace to all of you! Originally… [ read more ]

I hope for so many things. I hope the weather will be perfect for my child’s birthday party. I hope NCIS will never go off the air. I hope the cheesecake I had for dessert will go to fuel my brain instead of finding its way to my hips. I have no reason to believe any… [ read more ]
Mindful Mondays :: In the Boat
Posted on Monday, January 23rd, 2012 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Devotion, In the Boat, Mindful Mondays

As I’ve been hanging out in the gospels for the past few months in an effort to soak up what Jesus said and did, I couldn’t help but notice something. I’m big on being out of the boat , but being in the boat isn’t as easy as it’s cracked up to be. Do you remember the story? In… [ read more ]

On a cool, clear night several months ago, I sat on the back steps with our three-year-old son. As we stared at the sky, we talked about how big the moon was and how bright the stars were. Well, I talked. He jabbered in that special just-turned-three language that is part English – part who knows what. After… [ read more ]

I’m a Clemson Tiger. My blood runneth Orange. And when it comes to my team, I’m all in . . . all the time. But sweet mercy. For those of you who don’t follow college athletics, Wednesday night the Clemson Tigers faced the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Orange Bowl. Clemson was favored to win.… [ read more ]
