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 […]
Life in the Great Outdoors (or Thereabout)
We have plans to visit some friends in sunny Florida later this summer, and I asked our friends for suggestions about the things we could do while we’re there. One idea they came up with was a safari ride. Outdoors. In an open-sided bus. In the summer in Florida. Oh, and the biggest selling point […]
Bella Notte is Here! (+ a #Giveaway)
Has anybody else had a crazy year? Some days, I’m not sure whether I’m coming or going, and some days I can’t tell up from down. Despite all that, it’s been a good year. God is good, and His faithfulness amazes me. All. The. Time. Last month, I shared the opening scene from Bella Notte […]
