Recently I had the chance to see Hugh Jackman play the role of Professor Harold Hill on Broadway in The Music Man. I’ve mentioned in a previous InspyRomance post that I’m a huge fan of theater, and travel to Broadway in NYC often, but this was my first trip since the 2020 COVID Broadway shut […]
Author Sightings
Do you like to go to author appearances? Sometimes a single author will sit at a table at a bookstore to meet readers and sign copies of their latest book. Sometimes it’s an entire hotel banquet room full of authors, all excited to meet you and talk to you about their books. As an author, […]
New Boxset Release (and a giveaway!)
When I say the year 2020 what response do you have? As for me, and I think many of us, you probably shuddered remembering all the uncertainty, the never-before-heard-of decisions to shut down businesses and schools. And trying to figure out how to keep your eyes focused on God while the world was going absolutely […]
A Chat With Christina Sinisi
Today I’d like to introduce you to a friend of mine, a talented Christian Contemporary author and fellow beach lover … Christina Sinisi! I met Christina at a library (makes sense considering we both love books)! A group of Christian authors were invited to a meeting about creating a new chapter of the national organization, […]

Her husband had just filed divorce papers. The house that had been her family’s haven for fifteen years was going up on the market. Her […]
Let’s Hear it For the Boy (Or Girl!)
Any Footloose fans out there? Okay, this post isn’t going to be about the 1984 movie starring Kevin Bacon where he plays a big-city kid who moves to a small conservative town where dancing is prohibited by the town’s powerful preacher. Even though it is a classic, and I’ve not only seen the original movie, […]
Book Birthdays (and a #Giveaway)
When I have a book nearing completion, I have to take off my writer hat and put on my publisher hat. There’s a long list of publishing tasks to work on and decisions to make to take a book from manuscript all the way to released book. What kinds of things? Such as, the cover […]
Let’s Talk Newsletters! (and a Giveaway for you)
Being an avid reader means that most likely you have subscribed to more than your fair share of author newsletters. Am I right? If you had to guess, how many authors send their monthly (or weekly, or bi-weekly) epistles to your email Inbox? Myself, I’d guess about a dozen. Using that dozen authors as a […]
“The” Christmas Gift
I remember one particular Christmas when I was a kid. I was probably about eleven, and I was obsessed with a book called My Side of the Mountain. It was about a city kid who got disillusioned by the crowds and noise and he ran away to the wilderness. And he survived by learning how […]
