When I say the word basket, what comes to mind? Maybe you immediately thought of this one … … because you’ve already done two loads of laundry today. Or maybe you thought of this one … … because it’s time to stock up the fridge again. (In which case, you’ll probably need one of these […]
When Does CCR Become Too Preachy?
The Sweetest Spark, book 3 in my Spark Bothers series just published earlier this month. As with any book release, I was both excited and anxious on release day, especially when the reviews started coming in. In my four plus years of being an author, I’ve come to learn that not everyone will like your story—and […]
The Three Traits of a Sexy Man
What does a romance author and her husband do late at night when their kids are in bed? Why, they sit next to each other on the couch with their laptops out doing work. :) This is in fact what me and my hubby are doing right this minute as I write this post. Except […]
Counseling My Characters + #Giveaway
Once upon a time before I was an author, I was a therapist. Through answered prayers and open doors, God gave me the chance to earn a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I was about a third of the way through my licensing hours when God led me to the next adventure in […]
My One Year Anniversary with InspyRomance + #Giveaway
I was glancing through my old blog posts for InspyRomance.com when I noticed I had written my very first post back in October 2017. That means I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of blogging here for a year now. Wow, time sure flies! I’ve truly enjoyed the community I’ve found with both the authors and […]
Friday Five + #Giveaway
I must admit that it’s been one of those weeks where I’ve woken up not knowing what day it is. Life has gotten busy with my kids back in school and me trying to invest as much of my brain energy into meeting deadlines before the year ends. Add to this the other dozen things […]
The Impact of a Good Kiss + An Excerpt + #Giveaway
I love most everything about being a romance author, especially the research I get to do. This so-called research ranges from studying photos of a couple holding hands (so I can better describe how their fingers intertwine) to watching rom-coms or reading romance books. When I do the latter, I get so much inspiration for […]
The Other (Non-Author) Hats I Wear & #Giveaway
Summer break is officially in full swing here, and we’ve got the hot temps in California to prove it. How else do I know school is out? Well, the presence of my two munchkins at home all day long is a good indication as well. Since mid-June, I’ve set aside my author hat and replaced […]
Judging a Book by its Cover (+ A Cover Reveal & #Giveaway)
As a reader, I pay a lot of attention to a book’s cover. I can usually tell from the image and the title’s font whether the story will be lighthearted, mysterious, funny or deep. A cover that captures my attention at first glance is often all it takes for me to click on the book’s […]
When Writing a Book is Like Running a Marathon + #Giveaway
I’m not the most athletic gal in the world (by far!), but one thing I can do is run. There are no balls or rackets or rules involved; it’s just me and a pair of shoes, putting one foot in front of the other. It sounds easy and fun, right? Yes … and no. ;) […]
