Battling Settings Unknown
This probably breaks some code of authors that I’m unaware to even tell you this but…. Confession: I’ve never been to the Bahamas or any tropical island Another Confession: I’m currently finishing up writing a book that is set–you guessed it–in the Bahamas. This is the first time I’ve written a book set in a […]
The TRUE Meaning of Christmas
Confession: Until this year, I’ve never watched Hallmark Christmas movies at Christmas time. Not for lack of desire–we’re just cheap and don’t have cable. (A little antenna outside gets us a few local channels, but that’s it.) But this year, I decided to splurge. We have a new “smart” TV that has SLING on it, […]

Confession: I love writing about opposites in my romances. Maybe partially because my husband and I in many ways are SUPER opposite.

And sure, I get it. Relationships take a lot of work, and too many marriages these days end up broken and dissolved. I’d bet […]

Romantic Comedy: Is it all just a bunch of fluff?
Hello. My name is Krista Phillips, and I write non-fluffy romantic comedy. I know… what? There IS such a thing? How can that possibly be? For those who may not know it exists, I thought I’d enlighten you today! I like to say I write filled-cupcake fiction. Fluffy (fun) on the outside, but when you […]
An “Idol”lic Romance
Please note: I know that it is spelled idyllic. Forgive me a little punny subject line! I watched the new season of American Idol on and off this year, and Maddie and Caleb were always 2 of my favorites. My romantic-leaning heart just about jumped and cheered when they let the cat out of the […]
