I know, you probably saw the title, checked the date, and then thought why are we talking about Christmas so early? Easy! I have to decide how many Christmas novellas to write this year, and I thought y’all would be the perfect people to help me figure it out. :) You see last year I […]
Book Review: Not Until You by Valerie M. Bodden
Y’all, I love to read but when I get my hands on that book–you know the one that pulls you in from the very first page and won’t let go–I really, really love to read. Last week I saw fellow InspyRomance author, Valerie M. Bodden’s book Not Until You. I noted that it was a Hope Springs novel and […]
What’s in a Name?
For as long as I could remember, I’ve been interested in names. Their meanings. Why parents pick certain names. Etc. As I got older and delved into the Word, I became fascinated with how God changed the names of those He called. When we encounter God, repent of our sins, He changes us. Not just […]
Deck the Shelves Playlist + #Giveaway
Tis the season to listen to holiday music…or is it? Whenever I start writing a new story, I always build a playlist first. I love music and how it fuels my creativity. Plus, I like to imagine my books becoming movies one day and they’ll totally need a score and soundtrack, right? (Can you tell […]

My Favorite Point of View
Do you ever sit down, open a book, and start reading the story and immediately, you’re captivated? For me, a lot of that has to do with the point of view (pov) it’s written in. Now I’ll admit, I haven’t always been a fan of this particular pov (my favorite). However, some great authors have […]
Novellas, How do I Love Thee…
Am I the only one who loves novellas? I know C.S. Lewis says, “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me,” but I have a confession. Sometimes, just sometimes, I don’t want a large book. I want a novella. But before you gasp in horror, […]
Ladies of Freedom Lake (#giveaway)
Happy Tuesday, y’all! I’m excited about the day because I have a bunch of back-to-school activities to do with my kiddos. One kid gets to go to his school, find his locker (and drop off the insane amount of school supplies), and his classrooms. There’s always that relief when he knows where he has to […]
Christmas in July and #Giveaway
There’s a phenomenon that’s catching waves: Christmas in July. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. After all, the Hallmark channel even highlights it with a few Christmas movies featured throughout July. So, I thought I would do something similar here on InspyRomance and feature some Christmas reads for your July reading pleasure. If you’re melting […]
Countdown to Risking Love
In 8 days (not that I’m counting), my next book will release. I’m completely exhilarated and terrified all at once. For one, Risking Love, took a lot out of me. This couple…I tell you, they had to be the most stubborn characters I have ever written. For those of you who think we authors sit down and […]
