Hi all! February is here! The month of love. Our favorite subject to talk about. I go around telling people all the time “I love, love.” And I do. So this is certainly a month to celebrate in my world. And it’s my hubby’s birthday month. Lots of love there! So, for the month of […]
The Makings of a New Series
I caught a wave… It was on a whim. While looking through various Amazon book lists (I like to see what people are buying, and I look at covers, since I enjoy creating them) Anyway, I noticed all these Billionaire romances cluttering the lists. I remember when it was Mail Order Bride that […]
Series… Love Them Or Not? Plus Giveaway!
I love reading series. I enjoy the main hero and heroine’ story and often find myself rooting for secondary characters and wanting them to get their own books. And in the following books, it’s fun catching up with the characters I already fell in love with! I might be partial here because Autumn is a […]
Christmas at Hope Ranch
Hi there. My name is Cyan Hewitt, and Elizabeth asked if I’d swing by and talk to you all about Christmas at my grandparents’ ranch. Rancho de Esperanza is located on a mesa in northern New Mexico. It’s sort of near Taos, if that means anything to you. Contrary to what you might think of […]
What’s Missing? by Deb Kastner
A Unique Christmas Mystery As many of you know, I’ve gone “hybrid,” which means I am independently publishing some books, writing some for a small press and continuing to write for Harlequin. This has completely spoiled me, because when I indie publish, the choice of what goes on my cover is entirely up to me. […]
What If You HAD To Shop? #giveaway
Lindi here. Every month I go into the archives of photos to post this picture. And I realize that this month is my 4 year anniversary of being a part of Inspy Romance! I love being a part of this blog-the ladies are so incredible and inspiring. And the readers and writers who visit this […]
What Are You Reading?
I ended up teaching more classes this school year than what I had anticipated, and one thing has become infinitely clear: More classes means more grading. As an English teacher, you’d think I’d have understood this going in. Summer has a way of washing our memories clean, though, so that we forget the parts of […]
First Impressions: And the Greatest of These is Love
by: Staci Stallings One of the things I think is strange about my writing life is how clear certain scenes are when they come out of me and how those scenes never really leave my memory. Each book seems to have a few of these, and often, years after the book is finished and I’ve […]
On Changing Seasons and Big Life Events
Some life events are just hard to get over. Like, riding in a canoe for the first time with your husband who thinks faster is better and rapids are fun. We are such opposites. And yes, that stinkin’ canoe tipped. I ended up in that cold, Michigan river. For a minute. I say a minute […]
Cowboys, Christmas, and Second Chances
Ranches aren’t so different from farms, right? A few more horses and cows, a few less sheep and chickens. Still country living near small towns. Still wide open spaces instead of back alleys. Still the smells of nature rather than exhaust fumes. Still romance. Just add cowboys. Stir. Enjoy. I’ve been toying with a cowboy […]
