Dee's on Streaming Faith Tonight

Marina Woods, Marilynn Griffith and moi, Dee will be talking on the radio at streamingfaith.com tonight at 7:55 pm EST. Click over to GospelFiction.com to learn how to tune in.

Check the sidebar, there are a lot of choir rehearsing going over at Gospelfiction.com Kendra talks about her spicy March release, More than Grace and when she thinks sensual scenes are appropriate in Christian Fiction. Of course, I differ. But it's nice to see two sides of a view. And we both have the Body of Christ's interest at heart. So check out the debate.

Also, I have a few books coming through the pipeline, so my book reviewers--you know who you are--I will be getting in touch.

On another note: Who's entering the Genesis contest this month? Leave a comment here and let me know what's up. I am entering and I will share this Genesis writing contest process as it comes.

Also this month I will host a writing workshop sponsored by Good Girl Book Club . It is six-weeks of storytelling techniques I've learned along the way as well as what I, as a book reviewer looks for in a good story, so that you won't make the same mistakes.

And what else, I'm looking forward to having dinner with Michael Snyder, Margaret Moseley, Suzan Robertson , Sally Apokedak , and I think--Creston Mapes tomorrow night. So I'm psyched.

Let me know what you cat's are doing?

Dee

Racy Novels in Christ: 3 Reasons Why this may be Problematic

An excerpt from Praise the Lord and turn the page...

Christian fiction — particularly chick lit — is finding a large and faithful audience.

BY MOLLY MILLETT for Pioneer Press

"We don't go past the bedroom door," says Marlow Golan of Harlequin. "We tend not to dwell on passion — even kisses are handled with a light touch. We stress the emotional qualities of relationships."

I'm puzzled... I just reviewed Kendra Bellamy's More than Grace, a novel under Harlequin's Kimani Press/New Spirit imprint and it has at least three sex scenes in it. I don't know if Golan is reviewing every inspirational romance novel before it leaves their facilities or what, but I'm puzzled by her comment and by what I just read.

Why is this important, Dee? 3 important reasons for me.
