Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit in? Like you didn’t belong? It’s a lonely place to be, isn’t it? And loneliness… Well, let’s just say that loneliness isn’t fun. We might feel lonely at school, on the job, or even at church. Sometimes we feel lonely within our own families or even in […]
Giving Away Grace
I was working on a webinar recently, and while the webinar isn’t specifically about giveaways, the subject does come up. Authors sometimes think of a giveaway as an opportunity to sell copies of their books. In reality, though, giveaways rarely result in sales. They generate name recognition, and depending on how it’s set up, a […]
A Love That Transforms
As I have loved you, so you must love one another. (John 13:34b, ESV) What does it mean to love as Jesus loves? Love is transformative. Whether a person knows Christ or not, love can change the life and world of any given person. When a person does know Christ, though? Love is something different […]
Sneak Peek at Olive + a #Giveaway
I mentioned a few months ago that I was working on another book from the Rainbow Falls series. (See that post here.) Today I’m giving you a teeny, tiny sneak peek at the main characters’ first meeting. These two are developing into an interesting pair with their fair share of differences. Despite their not-so-auspicious first […]
When Life is Normal + a #Giveaway
Not every day can be an adventure. We don’t often get to live the fairy tale Sunday through Saturday, daily getting swept off our feet by Prince Charming. Granted, we may have our own personal Prince Charming, but chances are, he’s not always charming. Just like anyone else, he has good days and bad days, […]
1 Baker + 1 Florist = Romance (& a #Giveaway!)
One of the perks of being a writer is that I occasionally get to read other authors’ works before they are released to the public. There’s the “sneak peek” factor, of course. When I get to read something before it’s released, I can pretend that I’m one of the cool kids for a bit. Enjoying […]
Heading Back to Rainbow Falls
It is 5:30 in the morning as I type this, and I’d honestly much rather be asleep. Sleep hasn’t been my friend lately, though, with many a way-too-early-for-humankind morning to prove it. I could be grumpy. After all, I’ve already been up for over an hour, and my alarm won’t go off for another 50 […]
What Happens After The End? + a #Giveaway
Have you ever gotten to the end of a book only to wish there was more? Sometimes, no matter how satisfying an ending is, the characters have become so important to you, that you don’t want their story to end. You want to know what is coming next for them, where life is taking them, […]
Happy April Fool’s Day!
Not many people think of April Fools’ Day as a hotbed of romance. On the other hand, some people (like me) find humor sexy, which makes April Fools’ Day a spectacular celebration. :-) I tried to find some funny-but-friendly April Fools’ Day pranks that you could play on your someone special without too much cost […]
Trends in Book Covers – Reader Input & a #Giveaway
I read an article recently. I know, I know. What’s the world coming to? Just kidding. I actually read articles all the time. Some are just more interesting than others. This particular article was about trends in romance book covers, and it got me to wondering whether or not they were right. Let’s face it. […]
