April 20th is National Look-Alike Day, so I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about twins (and triplets, and quadruplets…) in romance. Mostly I’m thinking babies here, although I’ve read (and written) some wonderful twin stories with adults as the theme (Redeeming the Rancher and Mistletoe Daddy with twin heroines Alexis and […]
About Deb Kastner
Five Things
Welcome to March! Raise your hand if you’re looking forward to spring. Here in Colorado snow took it’s sweet time coming but then has stayed with us ever since. I’m ready for green grass and flowers. We Kastners also in the middle of a massive decluttering project and packing up the rest of nearly everything […]
Imposter Syndrome plus a Giveaway by Deb Kastner
I’ve just put the final polishing touches on A Reason to Stay, Book Five in my Rocky Mountain Family series out August 23, 2022. Finishing the book always brings smiles, tears, a sense of relief and a tinge of grief, knowing I’ll have to “break up” with these characters in order to move on to […]
Snow Daze by Deb Kastner
Talk about crazy weather in the US and Canada. Places that never get snow—California, anyone—have been pounded, while Colorado waited…and waited…and waited for even a dusting. We made a new record this year, with a LACK of snowfall well into November, and even then it was less than a quarter of an inch and melted […]
Tis the Season…for Change
One thing to which I’ve always clung during the Christmas season has been our family’s Christmas traditions. We put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving and decorate the inside and outside of the house. Christmas music plays in the background. For the past few years, “family” has been my youngest daughter and my grandson, […]
Random Acts of Kindness
Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ. (Ephesians 4:32) Today is World Kindness Day. As an inspirational romance author, kindness is a theme I often address in my books, but even more so in my life. I’ve discovered a little kindness goes a long way, whether with […]
Writing Routine and a Giveaway
One of the questions I’m most frequently asked as a full-time author is what my work routine looks like, so today I thought I’d give you a small glimpse into my writing life. Today is National Coffee Day, which is the perfect day to talk about my routine. I am absolutely NOT a morning person […]
Cover Reveal and Coming Soon!
So, this isn’t the first time I’ve talked about covers here on the Inspy blog. A few years ago (which feels like forever) I talked about The Cowboy’s Twins and how they had to mirror image the hero Jax so his scar wasn’t showing, which in turn made the babies he was holding look odd […]
Busy as a Bee by Deb Kastner
How has your summer been going? We here at the Kastner household have been insanely busy dealing with, among other things, health issues (both Joe and I are looking at various surgeries), family issues (my youngest daughter is taking over my granddaughter’s guardianship, so Joe and I now babysit both our grands five days a […]
National I Love Horses Day
Today is National I Love Horses Day—now officially one of my favorite days of the year. How could I blog about another subject rather than wax poetic on this? I’ve been a horse lover since the very first time I went to visit my maternal grandfather in Oregon (we live in Colorado). He lived in […]
