What’s your favorite season? (Plus #Giveaway)

The Inspy Valentine’s Awards
Happy day-before-Valentine’s! I’ll confess that we don’t do a lot to celebrate Valentine’s around here (shocking for a romance writer, I know!).

Meet the Hewitts of Hope Ranch
Hi there. My name is Azure Hewitt. Elizabeth asked me to swing by and tell you a little about my family. I’m not one hundred percent clear on why–she can be evasive when she wants to be. Have you noticed that? No? Well, maybe just when she’s talking to me. For all of that, it’s […]
It’s Complicated… (interesting characters usually are) + cover reveal

The phrase has filtered its way into our culture in all sorts of ways—movie titles, song lyrics, book themes, mindsets. It’s complicated isn’t always a response we’d […]
The Eyes Have It # Giveaway
When I try to imagine a handsome man, I come up with dark hair and green eyes every time. Like my husband and almost every other man I’ve thought was attractive. Blue eyes will do in a pinch, but only with brunette hair. I love the combo of inky brows and light eyes. I also […]

Book Review: Not Until You by Valerie M. Bodden
Y’all, I love to read but when I get my hands on that book–you know the one that pulls you in from the very first page and won’t let go–I really, really love to read. Last week I saw fellow InspyRomance author, Valerie M. Bodden’s book Not Until You. I noted that it was a Hope Springs novel and […]
The Heart of Community
Ask my readers what makes my novels special, and many of them will say, “community.” The term comes up in reviews often enough that I’ve added it to my tagline: Engaging characters. Strong communities. Deep faith. Sweet romance. I’m currently writing within my fifth and sixth series, and I can definitely see the underpinnings of […]
