My dear readers have been waiting quite a while for book 4 of my Tranquil Shores Sweet Christian Romance series. An entire year, in fact. That’s what happens when life gets in the way and fiction hits just a little too close to reality. When I originally planned out my series, I knew that this […]
You’re Speaking My (love) Language
Have you ever gotten a gift from your partner that was just…really bad? I remember the first Mother’s Day gift my husband purchased for me. It was a coat rack. At the time, I was only seven months postpartum with a colicky baby who still had me quite sleep deprived. Rather than being gracious, I […]
What’s in a Name?
Recently, I was perusing Facebook and came across a post by our amazing InspyRomance author, Angela Ruth Strong, in her Strong Readers group. She was talking about her name (I won’t spoil it for you…if you aren’t already a part of Angela’s group, you should be!), and it got me thinking about the origins of […]
Christmas Traditions
Christmas is my favorite holiday. As a child, there was always something magical about this time of year. Spending time with family, putting up a Christmas tree, decorations at church…I knew that every year, I would get to spend time at both of my grandparents’ houses with all of my extended family and eat a […]

Keeping Your Real-Life Romance Alive
I’m a bit of a statistics nerd, and though I don’t usually remember actual percentages, certain things tend to stick with me when I read them. Early on, I discovered that the stats were stacked against my marriage, especially since it is my husband’s second. As the years went on, we only added to the […]
Collectors Anonymous
It has been an absolute joy getting to know the InspyRomance reader family this year, and this month, I thought I’d give you a glimpse into the inner workings of Judith McNees so you can get to know me better as well. One of the more quirky aspects of my personality is that I love […]
National Day of What???
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes get annoyed by the number of “national day of” days we have. It seems there is a day for almost anything you can think of. For example, When I looked up August 18th, I found that it is National Mail Order Catalog Day. What on earth? I […]
My Life as a Romance
Recently, I posted a meme on my social media accounts that included my “real-life romance tropes.” One of my followers commented it sounded like a good book, which got me thinking. I’m not a memoir writer, but if I did, my life with my husband does have the makings of an interesting story…single dad, love […]
Take a Summer Trip with CCR Books!
It’s summer here in Michigan, and gorgeous weather brings opportunities to get outside and enjoy nature! I’m an avid traveler, and when we travel, I’m always on the lookout for beautiful natural landmarks. Michigan is full of those, and my husband and I enjoy a trip to the beautiful upper peninsula almost yearly. Since nature […]
