When I first started auditioning narrators for my Hope Springs audiobooks, I had a vague idea of what I was looking for: someone with a warm, pleasant voice, who also had the ability to portray the deep emotions of the books. I listened to dozens (maybe hundreds) of samples of Christian and sweet romance audiobooks […]
Book Accessibility for Blind Readers
I’ve always had poor eyesight due to excessive reading without resting my eyes when I was a kid. Over the years, I’ve worn thick glasses, and I can’t see much without them. These days, I wear trifocals. My paperbacks all have slightly larger print than normal so that they’re easier for me to read them […]
Chat with Becky Wade
For years, I have been a big fan of CCR author Becky Wade. Her stories offer characters with real problems and flaws (so relatable!), great settings, and the most satisfying happy endings. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. She was recently inducted into the Christy Awards Hall of Fame! It’s a great […]
A Christmas in July Interview with Beth Pugh + a Giveaway :)
My sweet friend Beth Pugh and I met on Facebook and have been critique partners ever since! (Meaning I send her my rough drafts and she sends me hers. It really helps to have a fellow writer take a look at your story and provide early feedback!) She and I both have Christmas romances coming […]
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, […]
Mountains & Mole Hills (and a #Giveaway!)
Do you like author interviews? I’ve been interviewed about my writing before, but it’s always been audio-only. I got to do a Story Chat recently, though, with Valerie Comer, Narelle Atkins, and Elizabeth Maddrey where they asked me questions about my latest release, Olive. I built the whole thing up in my head as something […]

Interview with Evangeline Kelly
Have you ever heard the phrase “Don’t meet your heroes?” We’re a generation led by the faces we see on TV, so that advice makes sense. Actors put on a show without having to reveal their true selves. So, if you met your hero, you might be disappointed to find that the character they portray […]
