There are many events happening in the merry month of May. I was surprised at all the food celebrations. I have to admit it’s not easy for me to dwell on these because I’m on a diet LOL. But can you believe all these food-related events that happen this month? National Asparagus Month National Barbecue […]
Time for Tea for Two at Two (Plus #Giveaway)
Did you know that April is National Afternoon Tea Month? Tea drinkers worldwide already celebrate this every day, right? I love tea, but I can’t have caffeinated tea any more, so these days I have to drink non-caffeinated tea. How about you? Do you like tea — or coffee or hot chocolate or all of […]
What if my book became a movie? + #Giveaway
It’s always been a dream of mine to see one of my books become a movie. The idea that the words from the pages of one of my books would come to life on a screen with real people playing out the story is such an exciting feeling. One review from my first novel, Holding […]
When the Hollywood heartthrob doesn’t get the girl + #Giveaway
If you’ve read Valerie Comer’s Her Unlikely Hero in the new Easter in Gilead series, you’ll know that her hero, Connor, wanted the role of Judas in the passion play. Connor auditions with Judas in mind, and is stunned when he’s cast in the lead role as Jesus. Connor doesn’t feel equipped to play Jesus, […]
Characters We Love To Hate + #Giveaway
I read in multiple genres, and I like reading stories that include characters who I dislike, or even hate. In a contemporary Christian Romance (CCR) I’m okay with disliking characters as long as they aren’t the hero or heroine. I don’t want to be stuck in an unlikeable character’s point of view for long periods […]

I hope your March is getting off to a fabulous start! It’s looking pretty sunshiny where I am – literally and metaphorically. 😊 For believers around the world, this is often a season of reflection and prayer as God prepares our hearts for Easter. This year, though, it’s also a season of great Christian romance. […]
Planning to Read?
Do you schedule time to read? I’ve gone over, under, and around this question for a while, and it’s made me curious about other readers’ habits. I think I could read from sun up to sun down, and most hours of the night, except that my family requires attention. Adulting is hard. My days are […]
Characters who love the outdoors + #Giveaway
I love reading books where the characters spend a lot of time outdoors doing fun and cool activities. Being a sports fan, many outdoor summer sports are near the top of my love-to-read list. Cycling, swimming, hiking…the list could go on if I included everything I love about the outdoors. I love stories set at […]
New Series Launch! + a #Giveaway
Welcome to February! It’s going to be a great month. For lots of reasons, I’m sure. One of those reasons, though, is that the Easter in Gilead series is launching. Woot! Woot! His Runaway Crush is book three in the series, and it’ll be out March 28th – but book one (see Valerie Comer’s post) […]
Walking through a Reading Slump
