​WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO. . .

Mostly this. . .
Life with Sophie Grace (shown here at 13 weeks) is full of grace, joy, The Zoomies, and lots of snuggles and cuddles. I don't get much writing done except in my head. I vowed to enjoy her puppyhood, and I am. Doesn't leave much room for anything else but we'll get there!

Sophie's official welcome from Pippa and Emmie. She did get to meet them and loves to play with her "cousins." but wishes they lived closer. So do we!

Hello, world!

Recent Publications
Presbyterian Outlook article by Kathleen Long Bostrom
​I've been writing for a number of Presbyterian publications during the last few months...

Just Published: 
​
"How Do You Pray With Others in Their Time of Need" 
Presbyterian Outlook 
The topic for the article was spurred by a reader seeking guidance for Elders and Deacons when called upon to pray for people in times of crisis.


One of my very first publications when I was first seeking to become a published author was an article in the magazine for women, Horizons. I later had the honor to write the 2005 Women's Bible Study on the church seasons. My recent article, "In Praise of Sloth," appeared in the November/December issue. I wrote about learning to let myself take time to heal after my knee replacement, and to accept the help offered to me rather than feeling guilty.

I wrote two weeks of devotions for These Days, a daily devotional. I've written for this publication several times through the years, and it always helps me sink deeper into Scripture. My devotions will be published in December 2022.


Books That Spark Podcast with Kathleen Long Bostrom and Terrie Hellard-Brown
In Other News:

I was interviewed by podcaster Terrie Hellard-Brown who writes about and interviews authors of children's books. I hope you'll take a moment to check it out: Books That Spark Podcast 103: Helping Our Children Navigate Their Faith with Kathleen Long Bostrom
​
​
​My picture book (first published in 2006), Why is There a Cross? was listed as 53 out of 100 in a listing on ​Christian Book Expo's Christian Juvenile Bestsellers for Easter 2022. 

I had a picture book accepted for publication, not sure when yet but I'll write more about it once it's in the works. My picture book, Since the Baby Came​ was highlighted in Publishers Weekly, which was a great thrill: I'm loving working with Sarah Rubio at WaterbrookMultnomah.
