Hidden Gems

March 13, 2024 by Jaycee Weaver

Have you ever read a book and scratched your head at a familiar reference you couldn’t quite place? You’ve read it somewhere before, maybe in another work from that author. Perhaps what you’ve stumbled over is an author’s hidden gem, otherwise known as a nod, a wink, or an easter egg (I’m not capitalizing here […]

What does “faith-friendly” mean? (and why I like it)

February 5, 2024 by Jaycee Weaver

Have you seen the term “faith-friendly” floating around the bookisphere recently? I’ve seen it a few times, and the more I consider it, the more I like it. As a woman whose primary love language is words, who flourished in English and went on to become a writer, words hold a lot of meaning to […]

More Than Enough

November 10, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

More Than Enough

Part of a romance author’s writing process involves getting inside our characters heads and understanding how they think. One of the most important parts of this process is asking, “what is his/her lie?” A”lie” is the false belief they live with that shapes how the he or she reacts to situations and other characters. Overcoming […]

Love in the Kitchen (+giveaway)

September 11, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

Did you know September 10-16 is Chef Appreciation Week this year? How exciting is that?! I know, I know, it’s back-to-school season, but I’ve already written a back-to-school post. Yeah, I’ve already written a food post too, but this time I thought it would be fun to talk about those who fulfill our fictional food […]

Birthdays and Holidays and Books (Oh My!)

July 12, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

birthdays and holidays and books oh my

July is always a little crazy. Not as chaotic as December or May, mind you, but close. We have several birthdays (including mine tomorrow), Independence Day, and loads of summer activities for starters. Since becoming an author, I’ve had fun adding bookish events such the FaithBooks Free Book Blast and Christmas in July to the […]

A Matter of Heart

May 13, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

I once heard someone say Mother’s Day should come with a trigger warning. This same person had a hard time going to church on Mother’s Day Sunday, explaining that for her the day was fraught with conflicting, complicated emotions she’d rather not have shoved in her face. If you can relate, this post is for […]

Fools for Love

April 1, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

It’s April 1st, known to many as April Fools’ Day, day marked for many by pranks and mischief (or one that goes on as normal with little notice, ha ha!). Since I recently did a post on pranks for my third Sinclair Sisters book, I won’t do a repeat of that. Instead, let’s talk about […]

It Takes All Types

March 2, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

it takes all types

One of my favorite things about reading is that fictional characters are every bit as individual as people in real life. When they’re written well, anyway. It’s fascinating to me that in a world of tropes, we may find similarities but never the same story, same heroine, same hero. It takes all types of authors […]

It’s Complicated: How Authors Really Feel About Their First Book

January 30, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

It's Complicated title image

Confession: I don’t like my first book. I’m actually pretty embarrassed by it. Back in 2017 when I first wrote What Could Be, I was like a proud new first-time mama. My book baby was perfect. Beautiful. And certain to make its mark on the world. Aaaaaaand then I read it again months after I’d […]

2023 Goal: Read More Romance (+sale & freebie!)

December 30, 2022 by Jaycee Weaver

Read More Romance in 2023

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore. It’s been years since I’ve bothered. Just as soon as I made a list of goals, habits I wanted to change (or develop LOL), weight to lose, well, I’d break it and never manage to get back on track. And then the Type A overachiever side of me […]
