Right On Time
by Michelle Medlock Adams I was in the window seat, thumbing through a magazine, just waiting for the plane to take off when a mother and her young daughter sat down next to me. “Don’t worry, babe,” the mom comforted. “You’re going to be all right.” But the little girl didn’t seem so sure.

I was so thankful I had listened to that still small Voice when I packed my…

A Missing Persons Primer
by Sarah Hamaker As a writer of romantic suspense, I’ve always been fascinated by missing persons, especially adults who simply disappear into thin air, leaving behind more questions than answers.

Juveniles under 18 years of age account for 30,400 (32 percent) of the records…
