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. […]
What Do You Look For in a Hero?
I love a good alpha male romance. I struggle, though, to find good alpha male romance stories in today’s contemporary Christian fiction market. I can freely admit that this might just be my problem. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. Who knows? I’ve given it some thought, though, and I’ve come to a conclusion: alpha […]
What is love?
There’s this word in Hebrew that transliterates into English as ruah with a guttural “ch” sound at the end. Ruah can be translated into many English words, but it’s most commonly translated as wind, breathe, and spirit. It’s used throughout the Old Testament, and it conveys this amazing imagery. Ruah is the breath of God, […]
Mountain View Lodge by Lucie Ulrich and a #Giveaway
I invite Lucie Ulrich for a guest post whenever she has a new book out. She’s one of my favorite people, and I enjoy her writing, too, so it makes sense. Her latest release snuck by me somehow, though, and I only recently realized I’d missed it. How on earth did that happen!? I have […]
What Are You Reading?
I ended up teaching more classes this school year than what I had anticipated, and one thing has become infinitely clear: More classes means more grading. As an English teacher, you’d think I’d have understood this going in. Summer has a way of washing our memories clean, though, so that we forget the parts of […]
Anniversary Ideas & a #Giveaway
It’s been a busy month. My husband, son, and I took a trip to New York for my younger brother’s wedding. Then my son and I headed to West Virginia to visit some family friends. After that, I started teacher orientation to help get ready for the new school year. Halfway through that, my son […]
A #NewRelease or Two and a #Giveaway
It’s been an all-around awesome month. I hope you’ve been enjoying yourself as much as I’ve been enjoying myself. Earlier this month, Skye released (with a bit of a cover makeover). You may remember it from last year when it was in the Cherish box set. I talked about how Skye came into being […]
