Okay, I love Christmas time. I love that Christ came as a baby to save us; I love that whether one finds significance in that or not, a feeling of love and kindness pervades our hearts, thoughts, and actions; I love that we are more “other” focused for this glorious bit of time; I love […]
About Katherine Reay
The Classics…
Lately I’ve been digging through the Classics. If you’ve read Dear Mr. Knightley or now Lizzy & Jane, you know I keep returning to these beloved favorites. And I think they are relevant here, on a contemporary blog, because most of these were not written as historical fiction (not that we don’t love historical fiction), […]
2014 Carol Awards
Last weekend, the ACFW Conference met in St. Louis, MO and announced its 2014 Carol Award winners. And the reason I’m posting is because it’s a list of great books — not all contemporary, I know, but still great… Contemporary and Debut Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay (HarperCollins Christian Publishing) “Katherine Reay’s Dear Mr. […]
Fairy Tales
A few months ago I wrote a couple articles trumpeting the wonder and magic of fairytales. Prime time fairy tales had me hooked. ABC’s Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time Wonderland held me the tightest. But there are others such as NBC’s Grimm and Dracula, FOX’s Sleepy Hollow, and the CW’s Beauty and […]

The Christy Awards: A Love Affair Between Truth & Storytelling
I was so blessed to attend the Christy Awards this year. Dear Mr. Knightley was nominated and I’m not going to lie – that was super amazingly cool. But what I found more wonderful, and yet not surprising, was the love every writer shared for both storytelling and Christ. The Christy Awards seek to honor […]
How Do You Like Your Romance?
Last week I traveled to New Orleans to attend the Romantic Time’s Booklover’s Convention. I had never been to the city before and never attended a conference with over 2,500 attendees! It was packed, bustling, fun and chaotic! Fascinating and wonderful on all counts. I ate more than I should, walked miles throughout the French […]
Moving is Romantic?
For today’s blog — thinking I should stick with a general theme of romance — I had to most definitely step out of my box… Here’s my box: I write this in a corner of my kitchen as my house is filled with movers helping me pack up all our belongings and furniture to be shipped […]
Puppy Love
Okay, yes this a post about a puppy… but so much more too. A couple weeks ago we got a new puppy. “Patchington Bear from Darkest Montana” – yes, that his name. Thank goodness, we only call him “Patch.” And considering that he joins “Triple Grande Non-Fat Extra Foamy Latte” (called “Trip”), his n […]
Love – In Its Many and Varied Forms
