These days, I hold writers’ hearts in my hands on a daily basis. And I’d love to make everyone’s dreams come true. But I can’t. I understand now why editors are so picky. I have editorial deadlines to meet, which allows a limited amount of time to spend on each book. If a book will […]
Books & Puzzles # Giveaway
I love jigsaw puzzles, but it’s been several years since I’ve done one. When I was a kid, I remember my Uncle Spud always had a puzzle. When I visited or spent the night with my cousins, he’d let me ‘help’ with his puzzle. Over the years, my parents bought me puzzles and my love […]
Making Time to Read #Giveaway
The love of reading inspired me to be a writer. But since I started writing, I don’t have time to read. It’s a conundrum. When I read, I like to focus–to really give my time to the book and read it in two to three days. Over that last several years, I read a book […]
Life In Fiction #Giveaway
Today, I’m welcoming my guest Amy R. Anguish. I recently had the pleasure of editing Amy’s book, Saving Grace. I love this story, love the characters, plus there’s humor and plenty of swoon worthy moments. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. I’ve been a friends to romance fan for years. Here’s Amy: […]
Between Books #Giveaway
Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
Why Contemporary Romance? #Giveaway

But while I dashed their dreams, I gave them tips on what they needed to study and hopefully encouraged them. I’ve learned that editors aren’t mean wannabe writers who want to rewrite my book. I didn’t really […]

When It Rains It Pours #Giveaway
Blessings that is. I knew book two of my Hill Country Cowboys series was releasing in mid June and my backlist title, Counting on the Cowboy was re-releasing in a western collection in mid May. But I didn’t know the collection would be in Walmart. I didn’t even look. But my husband did. It was […]
Boom! I’m an Editor #Giveaway
Back before I was published, I longed for an author to help me know what I was doing wrong. I joined a couple of local writing groups, but none of the other members were published either. As one member put it, we were the blind leading the blind. I did learn some things from the […]
Reader Tools # Giveaway
Since finding books online is very important right now, I thought I’d do a roundup of reader tools that help keep books in eager hands. You might know about some of these, but maybe there are some you don’t know about. I’m using each tool in conjunction with one of our Inspy Authors, so here […]
