About Cara:
Since the time I could read Nancy Drew, I have wanted to write mysteries. In 2005 I attended a book signing at my local Christian bookstore. The rest, as they say, is history. There I met Colleen Coble. With prompting from my husband, I shared my dream with Colleen. Since those infamous words, I’ve been writing books.
My fourteenth novel releases in May 2012, and I have also written one non-fiction title (the Complete Idiots Guide to Business Law).
In addition to writing, I am an attorney, lecturer at a Big Ten university, active in women’s ministry, and all around crazy woman. Crazy about God, my husband and my kids. I graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Huskers!) and George Mason Law School. You can learn more about my books at http://www.caraputman.com.

About Cara’s newest novel, A Wedding Transpires on Mackinac Island:
Can the truth set Alanna Stone free?
Attorney Alanna Stone has never forgotten Jonathon Covington–or the pain of his betrayal. In fact, he’s why she’s avoided returning to Mackinac Island. But an exhausting, high profile case and an urgent plea from her parents bring her home. She immediately finds herself thrust into controversy as an unsolved murder once again turns public opinion against her family. Jonathon has been waiting for her return, but the woman he sees now has little in common with the one who left. Will they be able to lay aside the past and let God heal their hearts, or will reconciliation come too late?
Mackinac Island is accessible only by ferry or small plane. Its laid back pace, sans cars, is the perfect place to recover from hurt—unless the injury occurred there. As Alanna Stone tries to reconcile past to present she discovers her future lies in learning to listen to God.
My family loves escaping to Mackinac Island, so it was a treat to get to write a romance set on the island. Especially when that romance includes mystery and a taste of suspense!

Interview: Cravings … Desiring God in the Midst of Motherhood
Posted by: | CommentsLeave a comment below about how YOU make time for God in your daily life for your chance to win a CRAVINGS Devotional!
Cravings is a collection of card-size devotionals based on the Psalms. They are written to help mothers develop their relationship with God in the midst of motherhood. Each card contains a scripture for the day, a “thoughtlet,” and an action idea. As moms crave the sweet morsels from God’s Word, they can draw a card from a delectable Cravings holder–a pink cupcake!–that also displays the daily card for hands-free viewing. Versatile enough to fit with any feminine décor in a dining nook, a prayer closet, a kitchen–wherever you’d want Scripture at your fingertips. If you find you need Cravings around the home, just one may not be enough!
Cravings can be a mom’s daily devotional, a supplement to her regular quiet time, or even doubled up during the day. The set of 40 cards offers over a month’s worth of Cravings in whatever way serves the spiritual needs of individual moms.
“When I became a mom I lost my God time,” says Carey Bailey. “I couldn’t figure out how to fit it in, since everything but that time was a priority. So I made note cards that I set around my house with scriptures written on them. Even when my arms were too full of babies, laundry, and diapers to pick up a Bible, I could easily read God’s words of encouragement that I was starving for”
And Cravings–The Devotional was born. Carey tells more about the birth of Cravings and about her continuing walk with God through motherhood on her blog www.CareyBaileyOnline.com.
As Psalm 121:2 says, “My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” Constantly seeking God’s wisdom, comfort, and help is what makes the journey of motherhood a success. He is the rock that gets us through the tough times, and He is the one to celebrate with in the joys. The Bible is the greatest parenting handbook in existence with the most phenomenal author being our own heavenly parent, God. Read More→

CWAHM Moment with Author Thomas Craughwell
Posted by: | Comments
Many non-Catholics are perplexed by the practice of reverence to designated saints but still somewhat interested by the history of the saints. For example, did you know that relics of the saints – enshrined in churches in the U.S. and worldwide – include hearts, fingers, arms, skulls and teeth? That Saint Casimir, who chose not to marry and instead to attend to the poor, is the patron saint of bachelors? And Saint Isidore of Seville, who in a desperate effort to stop the decay of Rome in 560-636 wrote a massive encyclopedia of the arts, sciences, engineering, medicine and agriculture, is considered the patron saint of the Internet?

Dana Jorgensen is not what you expect.
From aspiring hockey player to worship leader; from Ottawa, Ontario, to the Music City; Dana Jorgensen has been on an incredible journey that God has perfectly orchestrated to bring him to this moment and has made his third album Everything to Beautiful – in stores August 16, 2011 – a reality.

Paired with breaking several major bones, Dana was forced to hang up his skates and his dreams of the NHL.
In a strange turn of fate, Dana was asked if he could sing and quickly found himself performing for a summer at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. After finishing this contract, Dana moved to Vancouver, BC, to join a band and tour throughout the West Coast. Read More→

An Interview with Courageous’ Robert Amaya
Posted by: | Comments
ROBERT AMAYA (Javier Martinez)
Robert Amaya is a professional stage actor in Miami and a volunteer worship leader and children’s ministry actor at his church in Coral Gables. The father of a young daughter, Robert was drawn to the role of Javier, a new friend to the group of officers and a God-honoring father. COURAGEOUS is his first film.
Robert’s hopes for the movie:
“I hope that fathers are inspired to rise up and take back their roles as dads. I pray that God would touch men around the world and inspire them to trust in our Heavenly Father. I specifically hope that Latino men and woman are touched and moved by the Martinez family. The Latino family needs God desperately.”
