Do you have roots? Maybe that’s a strange question to start a post with, but let me explain. I’ve never in my life lived anywhere more than six years, although I’m hoping that is going to change in the near future. So, technically, I don’t have roots. Nowhere to call “home.” And here, once again, […]
Are You Good Enough?
Happy 2021! I’ve been carrying on the romance vibe by continuing to watch the Hallmark Channel movies. They’re coming up with some good, fun, winter movies that are keeping romance alive on television! My first 3 books were published by Belle Books. A great small press publisher. They were wonderful to work with and very […]
New Release Coming!
You have no idea how satisfying it is to tell you that When Forever Fades, the second in the Spencer Family series, releases January 26th! 2020 made this a hard one to write. That’s all I know to blame it on, but last year has made it’s exit, and everything is set to go! Here’s […]

Have Yourself a Merry Reading Christmas (with a Gift Card #Giveaway)
Ah, it’s December again. The air feels festive, and Christmas Day is just around the corner. All my decorations are up. What about you? My family and I try to keep the decorations simple because the simpler they are, the faster it will be to put them away come January. Besides decorating for Christmas, what […]
Ask the Author
Confession time. I have thought and procrastinated and thought and started and stopped and started and…. I keep coming back to the idea of hosting an Ask the Author Party. So here we are, dear readers! What do you want to know? Do you have burning book questions about one of my books? Are you […]
When I Grow Up
Often, I hear writers talk of how, when they were little girls, they’d write their own stories, sometimes dreaming of being an author one day. I was not one of them. I did not enjoy creative writing in school and was not an avid reader—mostly Enid Blyton books when I did. I do remember the […]
My Most Personal Story Yet
by: Staci Stallings Some of you know me or know of me. Others may never have heard the name Staci Stallings until this very minute, and that’s okay. In fact, part of me likes not being known. One thing I do know is this: my readers probably know me better than most people who have […]
Here Comes the Bride
Jaycee Weaver, Andrea Boyd, and I all joined an anthology collection called Something Borrowed: Christmas Weddings Collection. It’s a story of five friends who each get a turn to wear a tiara from their sixth friend Ruth Ann (inspired by Angela Ruth Strong who couldn’t join our collection this year). As each friend navigates the relationship waters, […]
Meet Cute by Deb Kastner
I’m currently in the middle of one of the most exciting parts of writing—getting to know my new hero and heroine before I start writing my new book. Because at Harlequin Love Inspired I sell six book series at a time, I already have a brief blurb about the story and the names of my […]
