Guest Post: Barbara M. Britton

March 26, 2024 by Erin Stevenson Quint

I’m happy today to introduce you to a wonderful author, my friend Barbara M. Britton. I met Barb online in 2020 when Pelican Book Group published my first Christmas novella. Something clicked between us, and that led to frequent emails and a few phone calls. In August, 2023 I was thrilled to meet her at the […]

Before They Call

February 26, 2024 by Erin Stevenson Quint

One of my favorite Bible verses is Isaiah 65:24. About eight years ago, at the end of January, I was hoping to attend a conference later in the year but didn’t have the required funds. The deadline for the discounted registration price was the next day, and if I wasn’t able to meet that, I […]

Happily Ever After

January 25, 2024 by Erin Stevenson Quint

Read a hundred back cover blurbs of romance novels, and you’ll find a hundred different tropes, meet cutes, plot twists, and challenges to overcome—the list could go on. But all will/should have one thing in common: the path will ultimately lead to a happy ending. And they all lived happily ever after. Being the curious […]

No Strings Attached

December 22, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

A few years ago at dusk, I set out for town on an errand. As I drove  directly west, streaks of color began to appear. Soon, the winter sunset blazed directly in front of me, a symphony of color painted by the Master Artist. I pulled off the country road onto the shoulder, got out […]

Even in the Storm

November 22, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

Since joining the InspyRomance team last spring, I’ve always worked ahead on my posts. When November arrived, I said, “God, please give me a message for this month’s blog post. But not about Thanksgiving. Everyone else will be posting about that.” Do you know what happens when we give God directions? He laughs! As my […]

Thank You, Lauraine

September 19, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

One of my big “whys” for writing is to impact readers’ lives. When I tried to put this into words, I decided I couldn’t express my thoughts more eloquently than fellow InspyRomance author Valerie M. Bodden has, so here is a direct quote (used with permission): There are a lot of things I love about […]

The Power of a Posse

August 22, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

For over a decade, all my writing (both published and unpublished) was carried out in academia. I hadn’t written a word of fiction. In 2013, I took on a contract job. After about a year and a half, the work ran out, but the contract was still in force, so they continued to pay me […]

Let’s Hear it for August!

August 1, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

I’m a child of the 1960s. When I was growing up, major national holidays in the US were something to look forward to. New Year’s in January; Valentine’s Day, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington’s birthdays in February (later condensed to one day, Presidents Day); St. Patrick’s Day in March; Easter usually in April; May Day, […]

The Author’s Conundrum

June 22, 2023 by Erin Stevenson Quint

When I began meeting with my writers’ group back in 2014, I encountered a new term, worldbuilding. It seemed to be used mainly by those in the group who wrote in the science fiction or fantasy genre. Sure enough, I found the definition online. (Whatever did we do before Wikipedia, or the internet, for that […]
