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 […]

Are Romances Predictable?

March 27, 2024 by Merrillee Whren

Authors are often told not to read the reviews of their books, but I’m pretty sure most authors can’t resist looking at those reviews. I will admit that I have often read reviews. Of course, I adore the ones where readers say they loved the book or couldn’t book the book down until it was […]

March 26, 2024 by Erin Stevenson Quint

I’m happy today to introduce you to a wonderful author, my friend Barbara M. Britton. I met Barb online in 2020 when Pelican Book Group published my first Christmas novella. Something clicked between us, and that led to frequent emails and a few phone calls. In August, 2023 I was thrilled to meet her at the […]

We’re in Daylight Savings time now and the days already feel longer, don’t they?

What Makes Romance? #giveaway

March 18, 2024 by Amy R Anguish

What makes a romance a … well, a romance? Of course, when I started writing, I didn’t really care that there were standards and expectations. I simply wrote what I thought made a good story.

If you’re wondering why a Christmas story now, the answer is simple: the magic of the season isn’t confined to December. This isn’t just any holiday tale. One Sweet Christmas originally sparkled within the […]

February 17, 2024 by Amy R Anguish

Just over twenty-four years ago, I was a freshman in college. I had taken my huge art project (because I started as an art major) out to the dorm lobby for company and because I could spread out on one of the tables. It was shortly before Christmas and we were all ready for finals […]
