Coffee Talk began when I shamelessly and pitifully begged my local newspaper editor to let me write a column for him. I kept submitting stuff.

No response.

I submitted some more stuff.

Nothing.                                                         Read the rest of this entry.

Finally one day, I submitted a scatterbrained parody on football. It was a woman’s-eye-view of a local high school football game. It was published as a guest feature.

But of course, I wasn’t satisfied. Getting published is kind of like eating a Lay’s potato chip – betcha can’t eat just one! I had that little taste, and I was addicted. So I bombarded poor Gary’s inbox with more and more funny stuff – after all, he seemed to like funny stuff! Eventually, he published a second article, then a third, and before long, I had my own column. I named my baby, “Coffee Talk.”

Now, Coffee Talk reprints have been sold in national publications such as Vista, Live, and Homeschool Today, and the column has been accepted for syndication by Churchmouse Publications. I also have a book in the works. I’ll keep you posted, and I’d love it if you’d keep that in your prayers!

Thanks for stopping by my Coffee Talk site. Just as caffeine refreshes our weary bodies, I hope, while you’re here, you’ll find laughter and hope to refresh your weary spirit.
