EMBERS RELEASES!!
It is a dream a long time in the making, but after years of toiling away at various manuscripts, I am delighted to announce that EMBERS, my first speculative novel, is RELEASED!! That means you can–BUY NOW!!! A Review by Rel of RelzReviewz.com: Good gracious, this girl can write! The name Ronie Kendig is synonymous with adrenaline-laced, character-driven military thrillers so some may be surprised to see her name on Embers, a fantasy novel and the first in her Abiassa’s Fire series. Surprised you may be – delighted, thrilled, engrossed you will become! Embers is a stellar story in all aspects: the characters intriguing, the world of the Nine Kingdoms brilliantly created, the adventure and action trademark Kendig, …
Creative Days
Well, thanks to my friend, Kristy Cambron, I’ve taken up verse-mapping, and thanks to many many creativists, I’ve started Bible Journaling. Here’s my newest picture from this Sunday’s message at Cornerstone Chapel. Do you do Bible Journaling? I admit, it takes me a while to make these, but that’s a good thing–it helps me slow down, think about what our pastor or the Word is speaking to me. Our word is rush-rush-rush, so slowing down and contemplating is a good thing. 😀
Happy 4th of July!!!
There’s a lot happening in our country that has our great nation in turmoil, our people divided, but on this day–we are united! This is our country! Fought for and paid with the blood of patriots. First–I want to share this video of Madison Rising‘s amazing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. I normally don’t like “artsy” version of our national anthem, but I ADORE this one. They “get” what it’s about. The song leaves me pumped up! Before I leave you to your barbecues and fireworks…two things: 1.) REMEMBER OUR COMBAT VETERANS when you do you fireworks. If you have a neighbor who has served, please talk to them. In the least, prepare them for your fireworks so they …

Kendigs Celebrate Silver Anniversary
Twenty-five years ago today, Brian and I walked down the aisle and said, “I do.” It was the best moment of my life. I would it all over again and a thousand times. We’d hoped to be able to take a trip to Hawaii for our 25th Anniversary, but Brian spent the last 5 months unemployed, so that kinda made it impossible. We still hope to make that trip–maybe later this year (building up frequent flyer miles). So…to make our Silver Anniversary memorable, Brian and I went into DC and ate at the Sequoia on the Potomac. Absolutely gorgeous view! My only regret was not getting a photo of Brian and I with the water behind us. We …
