    Goodness! I have been gone a while! The good news Goodness! I have been gone a while! The good news is I was finishing my edits, picking the scripture epigraphs for each chapter, writing discussion questions, and all the other fun things that will hopefully make The Palace Spy extra enjoyable for you this fall. The other good news is that I fulfilled one of my bucket list items! For years, I have wanted to visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. This year, hubby and I had the privilege of seeing it. I have to confess, it was one of those moments that I wished I wrote 19th century novels instead of fiction set in biblical times! The best part? The books! The original owner of the Biltmore, George Vanderbilt, who in spite of being very smart never went to college, was a self-educated man who read over 80 books a year throughout his life. Given how often he had his nose in a book, he might have just lived in an ordinary house, you know! Because he would have occupied other worlds every day. For all that, it was delightful to occupy his world for the day and get a glimpse of this 8000 acre estate with the beautiful ring of Blue Ridge Mountains that surround it. Having said that, nothing is so good as being in one’s own home!
