Thanks for stopping by my WordPress blog!
On Mondays, I post Movie Mondays with great suggestions on what to watch this weekend with your family. I only post those movies that have been “Mom-Approved.”
On Wednesdays, I post one of the following: a humor post, a devotional, a family/marriage post, or a guest post.
I hope you will be blessed and encouraged by my posts.
A bit about me -
The Random stuff -
1. My favorite thing ever is spending time with my family
2. My favorite food is pizza (make that pepperoni with extra cheese)
3. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was 7
4. I met my husband through a prank phone call (yep, it’s true & I even wrote a post about it titled why prank phone calls are beneficial)
5. My favorite Bible verses are Psalm 91, Jeremiah 29:11, and Psalm 19:14
6. I would someday like to visit Prince Edward Island and Alaska
A Bit About Me -
The serious stuff:
I am a Christ follower, wife of 19 years to my wonderful husband, Lon, mother of two, and am a Christian author/speaker. I am the author of several books and I have also written for numerous national and regional magazines. My work has also been included in several anthologies. I owe all my inspiration to the Lord – He truly is amazing!
My passion is to use the gift of writing the Lord has blessed me with to further His Kingdom.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and camping, hiking, canoeing, gardening, and playing volleyball.
I praise the Lord for drawing me to Him and for sending His Son so I could have eternal life!

Penny,
I, too was at CCWC (my third year). I definitely think it is the best of the Christian Writer’s conferences. Marlene is such a blessing and the worship is the key to her conferences. Your tips for prep are right on, especially about not taking too much.
Loved the Blog. I am an amateur photographer and love taking photos of unusual things, like a camel’s eye or hoof, the eye of a famous sculpture, etc.
Thanks for following me so I could become acquainted with your work.
Hi Penny, I am interested in purchasing a copy of Wyoming Treasures. My grandmother is Martha Kinkade who you have written about in this book.
I hope to hear from you to inform me of how I can get a copy.
I have found this book to be such a delight to read and picture of how things were for the folks you have interviewed. I just loved reading the stories my grandmother told. She is a very special lady and I want to thank you for including her as a Wyoming Treasure.. that she truly is.

Hi Penny, it’s nice to get to know you a little on your blog. I’m stopping by to thank you again for your kind comment on Preslaysa’s interview of me back in May. I’m the writer of Shadowed in Silk, the historical set in British Raj India.
My publisher and I would like to send you a free Ebook or Shadowed in Silk if you would like. I can send the Ebook right away, or if you prefer a printed version I can send that to you in September when it is released. And we’d just like to thank you again for your kind encouragement.
Looking forward to hearing back from you. My email spelled out is
Christine (dot) d (dot) schmidtke (at) gmail (dot) com
No spaces of course in the email address.
Yes, Christine, of course I remember you! Your book looks wondeful! I will email you…
Blessings,
Penny
Wonderful, looking forward to that.
Hiya Penny!!
I think it’s so completely interesting that you met your hubby from a prank phone call. How neat is that? Definitely one of a kind.
I was never hula hoop champion, but I want to visit the same places as you, well, Alaska and PEI, at least. I haven’t heard too much about Hilton Head. Guess I’ll have to go do some research!
Love your blog ~
Hey Amanda! Meeting my husband through a prank phone call was definitely an experience! We still laugh about 19 years later and feel sad that caller i.d. was invented for that reason, lol! I really appreciate you stopping by – it was great to see you here!
Penny,
I’m so excited that I found you on Goodreads. We have several similarities, and I look forward to following your blog and learning from you in the process! I, too, am a believer, a wife, a mother and an aspiring author. I have wanted to be a writer since I was able to use my fat Snoopy pencil to form words and VERY simple sentences! Your books are right up my alley, and I’m especially anxious to read your Montana Skies series.
How do you balance everything you do–family (wife, mother, cook, housekeeper…the list goes on and on), church, blog, books, etc.? I admire other women, like you, who manage to keep their families their top priority while continuing with and succeeding at their passion and I want to learn from the masters!
Thank you for your blog, your insightfulness and your open commitment to and proclamation of our Lord Jesus!
Hi Joy! It is so nice to meet you! I have to pop on over to Goodreads – haven’t been there in awhile
Balancing everything is a challenge – one that I am still learning 
Preslaysa Williams, another writer, recently interviewed me about that very topic at http://www.preslaysa.com/2011/09/05/mm-mondays-guest-post-by-novelist-penny-zeller/
Again, Joy, it’s awesome to meet a fellow believer, wife, mom, and writer. May the Lord bless and guide you in your writing endeavors!
