Gayle's May 2026 Newsletter


Hey Friends!

We've had a rainy spring in North Texas. The temps are warming up and most mornings, Blaze and I see the sunrise as opposed to walking or running with a flashlight.

On the Homefront

Russell and I had the blessing of traveling to three national parks last month: Sequoia, King's Canyon, and Pinnacles. And yes, that's snow in front of those giant sequoias. We're up to nineteen national parks. Only 44 to go.

On My Desk

I'm researching for the next book of the Kingswell Kid Detective series. Book 1, The Mystery of the Missing Falls, releases in August. Book 4 takes place at a summer STEAM camp, so I'm reading up on robotics and AI. The spiritual emphasis for this one touches on how to know truth in a confusing world. I've been wanting to write a murder mystery and this is it.

I'm also working on a picture book series of tall tales and a MG historical fiction.

The Texas Home School Convention runs May 28-30th in the Houston area. Jen and I are speaking on Raising Kids Who Know God: Real Faith in the Elementary Years. We also have a booth in the authors' section. Come say hello if you're attending!

For those who have left podcast reviews, thank you, thank you, thank you. It helps so much. If you haven't given The Christian Grandparenting Podcast a listen yet, check it out or share it with your favorite grandparent. Less than ten minutes, it provides practical ways to share and connect.

On My Nightstand Kitchen Table . . .

Here's what I'm currently reading:

S. D. Smith's latest, The Lost Legend

Reversing Hermon by Michael Heiser

And I Will Bless Them by Roy Godwin

The Comic Toolbox by John Vorhaus

I want to share a blog post from Allen Arnold. I met Allen at a writers retreat in Colorado Springs. His perspective on partnership with God changed my world. Grab a Kleenex.

How can I pray for you?

In Christ,

Gayle
