Captain's Log, Stardate 09.29.2010 So those of you unfortunate lucky enough to hear all about my low carb diet last month are probably clamoring for an update, yes? So after a month of going gluten free and low carb, I broke my gluten fast earlier in September and am now (relatively) normal carb. Technically, according to the program booklet that comes with the supplements I’m taking—which I’m still taking, by the way—I should have slowly increased my carbs earlier this month, but because I had been running about 20 miles per week last month and I was feeling really tired, my nurse/counselor suggested I increase my carbs earlier than the program booklet said to. I did some research and found out that most running articles suggest an extra intake of about 50-100g of carbs for every hour of running each day. I was running about 5-7 hours a week, so I calculated that translated into about 150-170g carbs per day. I’m trying to keep to that, although I admit it doesn’t always h...

Captain's Log, Stardate 09.27.2010 I'm over at the Girls, God, and the Good Life blog today with a Formula for Danger bonus post: Camy here! My latest release is Formula for Danger , a romantic suspense starring dermatologist researcher Rachel Grant and set in the beautiful vineyards of Sonoma, California. But did you know this was almost a very different story? Click here to read the rest of the post!

It's also refreshingly normal --LOL I guess I had expected a best-selling author to be different somehow, but he's very down to earth. We're supposed to answer the question, "What is sacrificial love?" My first (and obvious) answer is Jesus. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13 (TNIV) But yesterday we had college group Bible study at my house, and our pastor led the discussion after we watched a video clip of Chuck Colson (from a Q society video Bible study). I have to say, first off, that I love watching/listening to Chuck Colson speak. But was even cooler was his topic, which talked about "What is Christianity?" He went into four questions people ask of any religion and the fourth que...

Camy here: I can't even begin to say how I was looking forward to getting this book when I first saw the cover at ICRS in July! I absolutely love the fifties, maybe because my parents were teens in the fifties and loved the music, the motorcycles, and Elvis! :) This book is in the "When I Fall In Love" series published by Summerside Press, described as "retro romance" novels. Isn't that neat? I didn't get a chance to read this (yet) but I hope you enjoy this excerpt of chapter one as much as I did!
