Let’s Talk…Author Websites
I might be an author, but I’m also an avid reader. I constantly have a book going and can get through two to four books a month. Every once in awhile, I read a really great one. When that last page has ended, I stare off into space for a moment, transfixed as I begrudgingly […]

Mountain View Lodge by Lucie Ulrich and a #Giveaway
I invite Lucie Ulrich for a guest post whenever she has a new book out. She’s one of my favorite people, and I enjoy her writing, too, so it makes sense. Her latest release snuck by me somehow, though, and I only recently realized I’d missed it. How on earth did that happen!? I have […]

I love blogging at InspyRomance, but today it’s my honor and privilege to introduce Juliette Duncan. Not only she’s a tremendously talented author, she’s a wonderful person, as well.
