Hello! I'm a Christian writer, a wife and mother, and Nanny to the four cutest little scalawags on the topside of the earth! In addition, I've been specially blessed with three "ready-made" grandchildren when my daughter married their father - and I've recently been "specially blessed" with an adorable little great grandson, as well.

I've very recently transplanted from Bakersfield, California - where I lived most of my life thus far - to Okmulgee, Oklahoma. May I say it's a different world? We have lots of adjusting to do, and we sure do miss our children...and their children...but we do love our new home. Wonder what God has planned for us here?

My historical romance novel, Goldeneyes, was released March 31, 2008, through Vintage Romance Publishing. Praise the Lord! I'm currently working on two follow-up novels, and hope to be able to place them quickly.

I enjoy reading and writing, of course (doesn't every author?), singing, playing piano, word games, and loud, happy family gatherings ... above all, I love God and family - both natural and spiritual. Here's hoping I'll meet a bunch more of the spiritual variety right here on ShoutLife!

My monthly newsletter, The Bookshelf (for Readers and Writers), has been well-received. I'd love for all of you to join my e-mail list (which I guard like a mean junkyard dog)! You can see this month's edition on my website (www.delialatham.com).

When I'm not writing or doing any of the things I already mentioned, I like to design bookmarks for authors, using the cover art from their books. It's a lot of fun, and the designs sometimes turn out so attractive even I am surprised! You can see more of my work on my website, but here's a tiny sample:
