Over the past few months, I’ve been busy behind-the-scenes . . . adding some new videos to my channel! And there are more to come–several which are already in the works! I’m excited to talk more about books in future videos (ideas are brewing!) and also, have been having so much fun working in new content that invites you even further into my daily life as a writer and as a single mom who loves shopping on a budget, or squeezing in adventures. It’s been a growing season of making the best out of life . . . and having some fun along the way.
I hope you’ll join me, and if you do, please leave a comment so I can know you were there. It would truly make my day.
I’d also love to know what kinds of videos you would enjoy seeing from here. What content, information or even style would you enjoy? I’d love to hear! And in the meantime, here are the latest — simply click any of the images. 🙂
I still have many more stories to write and can’t wait to share those with you in the future as well. As part of this author life, getting to share videos has been something I’ve enjoyed from the start. From a comfortable, sit-down conversation, to the music to the filming, each has tapped into a special part of creativity. They’ve been a way to connect with you from afar and to share some of the behind-the-scenes fun, a way to get to know one another better — as you’ll find here, I’ve included some of my favorite hobbies and even little snippets of my adventures. If any of these videos ever sparks a story or insight into your own life or experiences — please share. It would be a joy to hear!
What is a hobby or pastime that you enjoy doing? What do you love about it?Â

Joanne, I’m not much of a video viewer or blog reader, (I’ll be 80 this year, if I make it) but I must tell you that I have loved your books like no other author’s! I hope you’ll keep writing because every one is great! Blessings on you as you keep on keeping on!
Carolyn,
Thank you for your kind encouragement. I’m so thankful you’ve enjoyed my books over the years!
I love your videos and of course your books. I love to read of course but I also love to put puzzles together and crochet. I love reading because it keeps my mind occupied. Then I love puzzles because it gives me time to think and sometimes I listen to audiobooks or sometimes even my Bible. It gives you lots of unoccupied mind time. I lost my husband of 45 years to cancer 6 months ago and I have to keep my mind occupied or I will think on all we went through that last two and a half months before he passed away. I’m still so heartbroken that it’s hard for me to think of anything else but him. I miss him so much and there is a loneliness I have never had.
Brenda,
My heart is saddened for the loss of your beloved husband. I’m thankful that you’ve been finding little seeds of comfort through story and especially audio books. As a single mom, I understand a little bit about loss and that when you’re in the trenches with it, it’s far from easy . . . but I hope you feel those rays of light around you, bringing you little doses of comfort in this time.
I have enjoyed reading your books.I would like to see you write more of the Norwegeian series.God bless you.
Delighted you enjoyed that series, Diana. Those characters are some of my all time favorites 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Hello Joanne,
Thank you for your reply to my comment on Instagram.
My comment was on reading Gold in These Hills and The Lion and the Lionheart. About waiting for Sons of Blackbird Mountain from my library.
Your offer of bookmarks is much appreciated.
I live in Caaad, and feel that the cost of postage may be too high. If this is so I would understand.
I am a 76 year old woman and now am only able to read ebooks from my library.
If however the bookmarks are suitable for Bible reading, and other Christian books I would be interested to receive them. Thank you.
Oops!! I live in Canada.
