Sometimes as authors, we get asked which book we’ve written is our favorite. It’s about like being asked to choose your favorite child, to be honest. We pour our heart and soul into each book, and each one has a special place in our heart. However, there ARE those books that mean just a little […]
Honey, I Shrunk Our Marriage… (#Giveaway and #FreeBook)
On a scale of one to ten, how important is honesty to you in a love relationship? Would you be okay if your significant other keeps secrets from you, e.g. secrets from his past or even his present? If you are married, let me ask you this. How strong and enduring is your marriage? Is […]
Living the Dream with Ava Santoro
Every little girl has dreams. Some of them can see their futures clearly. What they will choose for a career. Where they will travel. Whom they will marry. The names of their [insert number here] children. They can see the white picket fence or the New York City skyline or the mountaintop where they will […]
A Day in the Life (part 6)
Welcome to my fun little short story that got out of control and became slightly (and I use that term loosely) more than a short story! If you haven’t read the previous installments or need to refresh your memory, you can read the rest of the story here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part […]
It’s Never Too Late by Melanie D. Snitker
I’ve never really learned to play a musical instrument. Sure, I had a recorder when I was a kid, and I plinked around on the keyboard off and on, but I never seriously played anything. I’ve always wished I had. I don’t know if it’s a need to have something new to focus on during […]

Blessings to you this new year! Chances are, the start of a new calendar hasn’t changed the circumstances we were living in 2020. Although I believe better times are coming, I know I’ve struggled battling frustration and fear with all that’s happening around us. One of the experiences are family had been going through the […]
First Lines! (And Free eBook)
Happy new year, readers! To be honest, it might take me a while to write “2021” when I’m writing down dates. I’m trying to make sure I don’t revert back to “2020” for the next few weeks. Speaking of firsts, since this is the first month of the year, I thought it might be fun to […]
It’s Almost Christmas!
It’s Christmas time! How’s the shopping going? This time next week we’ll all be celebrating! My publisher has one of my novels on sale. Rich in Love is on sale for .99 cents. While Rich in Love isn’t a Christmas novel, the second novel in the series, Rich in Hope, is a Christmas novel. […]
Love After Fifty
All you twenty- and thirty-somethings, let me assure you that life and love aren’t over at forty. Or fifty. Or, ahem, sixty… A while back, it occurred to me that possibly readers might think I believed romance is only for the young, since all my stories featured heroes and heroines in their 20s with a […]
Finding Solace in Christian Romance
Last month, we had such a wonderful conversation in the comments to my post about sex and Christian romance. Thank you all so much for spending time with me! One of the recurring themes that cropped up in some of those comments was the desire to escape and find solace in books. I one hundred […]
