Last month I talked about a letter I had written to myself that contained goals. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had accomplished all five things on the list. One of the things on the list was to request my rights back for one of my Love Inspired books, Montana Match. A week […]
A Cover Reveal, A Series End, and A Giveaway
If all goes to plan, by the time you’re reading this, the final Peacock Hill novel should be finished. (Fun fact: all our posts here on InspyRomance are scheduled by the week prior to their posting date. This gives the admin team some sanity during the week so we aren’t biting our nails hoping that […]
Of Babes and Book Babies (plus cover reveal)
We all love babies, don’t we? And the anticipation of their arrival… Two weeks ago, we had my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. It was wonderful and I was able to hand over the myriads of pink and frilly clothes I’d been buying for months…from the day after we found out that we’d be blessed with our […]
Return to Peacock Hill
It’s finally time to go back to Peacock Hill! A Heart Rearranged, the 5th book in my Peacock Hill Romance series has been sitting rather impatiently on my hard drive for several months while I waited (rather impatiently, yet again) for my cover designer to have room in her busy schedule to get to me. […]
A Book Cover Makeover: From Drab to Fab + #Giveaway
One of the cool things about being an indie author is the freedom we have to make changes to our books when needed. For example, I recently decided to give one of my book covers a makeover in hopes of making it more marketable. Because, let’s be honest, we do tend to judge books by […]
Home is where your story begins
I have several vinyl texts attached to the walls of my office. One of them (pictured at the bottom of the meme above) says, “Home is where your story begins.” After looking up who the quote was attributed to, I had to wonder who Annie Danielson was. So I did some Googling and discovered the […]
Cover, Cover, on the Book… and #giveaway
Cover, cover, on the book — which cover is the fairest look? Choosing a cover for a new story is always entertaining. I’m working with a pro photo manipulator for my cowboy romance covers, and with an illustrator (my daughter, Hanna Sandvig) for the Urban Farm Fresh Romance covers. These two approaches require very different […]
Try the Chocolate!
In my latest inspy romance, Seized, (released July 9, 2019) I’ve paired up kind and faithful Gloria Lockwood with Alejandro Rojas, a rugged loner who has never put a high priority on his own love life. Gloria is sort of an angel on earth. When her older sister and brother-in-law died tragically in a house […]
What Are Your Reader Pet Peeves? (+ A Cover Reveal!)
Readers are special people, wouldn’t you agree? It takes a certain amount of commitment to invest your time and attention into an activity that requires the use of your mind and heart. You could almost equate reading to a sport since it takes a similar drive and dedication to finish a book from start to […]
Sharing A Book
A few months ago, I mentioned that Love Inspired is repackaging one of my backlist titles into a two in one. To begin with, I’m thankful to have a backlist. I got my box of books last week and it just never gets old. Sweetheart Reunion releases in June. It includes my title, Reuniting with […]
