Bonus Scenes: Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em?

April 4, 2024 by Meghann Whistler

Lots of authors nowadays enjoy writing and sharing bonus scenes with their readers. These are scenes that didn’t appear in the book, but that the author makes available via their newsletter, website or a service like Bookfunnel. They’re a little extra treat, if you will, for people who enjoyed the book and don’t want to […]

The One with No Kissing

June 14, 2021 by Milla Holt

The One with No Kissing

My first romance novel contains no kissing. That poor couple never got to seal the dawning of their happily ever after with true love’s kiss. I didn’t set out to write a kiss-free book. In the back of my mind, I knew they’d probably have to have that moment, and I was working up to […]

Why I love kissing books + #Giveaway

March 1, 2021 by Narelle Atkins

Narelle here. In a recent StoryChats @InspyRomance episode #7 with Jaycee Weaver we talked about kisses in CCR (contemporary Christian romance) books. Our conversation started me thinking about why I love kissing books and why I like kissing to be included in romance novels. In a romance story, the main characters are falling in love […]

Turning Up the Heat (with #giveaway )

August 21, 2018 by Elizabeth Maddrey

A couple of months ago, I finally got a contemporary Christian romance new(ish) release that was much heralded by friends, acquaintances, and random people I see in various Facebook groups. I was excited. It was (according to all comers) one of the best books they’d ever read, etc. etc. Let me start by saying right […]

Two Favorite Movies Where They (Gasp!) Don’t Ride Into the Sunset Together (Plus Gift Card Giveaway)

June 30, 2016 by JoAnn Durgin

Today I’d like to talk about movies. Specifically, romances. Sure, we could go on and on about favorite date movies and romances, but hold on a moment. I’m not just talking about the movies with a heart-stopping hero, witty dialogue, maybe a touch of intrigue or suspense, at least one thrilling kiss…and a happily ever […]

Romance and the Art of Kissing

May 30, 2016 by Heather Gray

First Kiss

Okay, okay. I know it’s not Christmas. You probably know that, too. The thing is, I was thinking about romance topics to blog about, and I settled on first kisses.  Since I’m writing a series, I decided that it made the most sense to share the first kiss from the first book in the series. […]

The Getaway – part 2

April 21, 2016 by Ginger Solomon

Last month, I started a serial story for you. If you missed it or need a reminder, you can find it here: The Getaway, part 1. Here’s part two… The Getaway, part 2 Peter raised his head from the heart-stopping kiss. He didn’t believe in love-at-first-sight, but what about love-at-first-kiss? Jada had to feel his […]

Ferris Wheels or Roller Coasters?

June 18, 2015 by Heidi McCahan

The recent announcement that a beloved classic roller coaster will retire in July caused quite a stir. Fans of Thunder Road at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina bemoaned the loss of their favorite ride and started a social media campaign to save the thirty-nine-year-old wooden coaster. While I applaud their enthusiasm and recognize that the […]

Thank You, Donny Osmond

February 5, 2015 by JoAnn Durgin

Thank you, Donny Osmond. I can say in part that I owe my romance writing career to him. He prompted that first spark of infatuation in this young girl’s heart (well, someone had to do it eventually). I’d better explain. Yes, they called it puppy love (the name of one of his songs). When I […]
