Hello and welcome to another season of the Historical Bookworm Show. We are so blessed to be on the air, chatting with authors, and sharing such amazing historical books.
Current giveaways include:
We Three Kings: A Romance Christmas Collection– ends on January 8
Until Then by Cindy and Erin Woodsmall – Jan. 14
Here is a transcript of when Darcy and I shared a little of our personal life.
KyLee: So, Darcy, hello. Can you share what is going on in your life?
Darcy: Well, to tell the truth, a lot of going to work has been going on in my life. But, something more festive—down here in St. Augustine, as I’ve mentioned before, we have the Nights of Lights from about the middle of November to the end of January.
So the whole historic district downtown is done up somewhere upward of 3 million lights and it’s beautiful, absolutely magical. The shop that I manage has been staying open later and all that good stuff. So, it’s been really fun to, you know, kind of be a part of this community endeavor, which is great for our city.
And also, it’s just so much fun to be part of people’s Christmas celebrations. So, I’ve actually really enjoyed that. It’s been great for my Christmas-loving heart, but next year I am looking forward to hopefully a trip to Guatemala for business. With the fair trade shop, the owner usually travels to a couple of countries a year, on buying trips, and I get to go this year. So, I’m super excited. I will come back all bubbly full of hopefully cool things to share with you guys.
Darcy: How about you, KyLee? What’s up these days?
KyLee: Well, my family and I are mostly settled here in Texas. We lived here from 2012 to 2016, so when my kids were much younger. And so, we were established in a really lovely church. We’ve returned, and it’s just like going home. If the doors are open, we are there.
When we lived in Oregon, it was such a struggle sometimes to get my kids to go to youth group. Here, not so. For example, they didn’t have youth last Wednesday night after Christmas. Seven o’clock rolls around and my son was like, “We’re gonna be late for church!” and I was like, “Honey, we’re not having church. You know, because the holidays.” and he was like, “Well who made up that rule?” LOL
KyLee: So, we are having a wonderful time being at church, and then also spending time with my husband’s family. My oldest was in second grade when we left Texas, and now she’s a sophomore. It’s amazing to see my children get reacquainted with their cousins.
We are also loving Waco! There are so many things to do. It’s just so beautiful. I work not far from Magnolia. We’ve gone to the Dr. Pepper Museum. And Baylor is just amazing! There’s so many things to see there. And so, yeah, it’s been great!
Bloopers
As we dive into this new season, we’re going to try to add bloopers every so often, because we have so much fun on this show. And there are so many random things that happen and we get a kick out of them. So, hopefully, we’ll be sharing a few of those things here and there.

Themes for this year
“Dream: the 6 Stages of Faith” by Rick Warren
If you’re a believer, God will work throughout your life to grow your faith. In fact, there’s a six-phase process of faith—a dream, decision, delay, difficulty, dead end, and deliverance—that God will take you through again and again to develop your character and help you fulfill the dream he has given you.
