Hi all! Happy Friday! And June has begun. The wedding month. Or it used to be. Summertime is fun time, right? And it’s the perfect month to talk about LOVE. Part three of my Faith, Hope, and Love Series. If you need to know anything about me it’s that I love love. I’ve always been […]
Always a Wedding Planner + #Giveaway
June is the official (maybe unofficial) wedding season. You’ve got great weather in the western hemisphere that makes for the perfect time to tie the know and say I do. It’s also the perfect time to release an anthology collection about weddings. I wrote a novella called Finally a Sweetheart that follows a woman who is always […]

Daddies are Special #Giveaway
In 2007, I received word that I’d finaled in the Touched By Love writing contest and the winners would be announced at the Faith, Hope, & Love Conference in Dallas in July. I’d already paid and planned to attend the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference in September, also in Dallas that year. My husband […]
What’s Your Name? What’s Your Story?
Characters are the most important element in the story for me as a writer and a reader. So getting to know my characters tops the list. Often the actually writing helps me know my characters. I know some writers interview the characters to learn about them, but that doesn’t work for me because I am […]
A Royal Question + Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I’m sure you can all guess that I enjoy reading contemporary Christian romance books. But I have a confession to make: I am a huge fan of modern Christian royalty stories. A book about a prince or a princess who finds their true love always makes me smile. I’m currently reading Rachel Hauck’s new release, […]
5 Romances Set Where The BlackTop Ends
Something extraordinary happens when you step onto a modern-day dirt road, doesn’t it? Like you are instantly transported to a time of simple living, where love is unencumbered by technology and city (or even suburban) life. The stories have the feel of historicals while remaining relatable to our present circumstances because it’s easy to believe […]
My Day on the Red Carpet … and a Giveaway!
In my now twenty-plus year career as a published author, I’ve had the opportunity to do many fun things. I’ve been interviewed on the radio. I’ve signed copies of my books for long lines of people. I’ve appeared in front of readers and read pages from my books. I’ve gotten to see my books displayed […]
Indie vs. Traditional (+ #Giveaway)
I’ve been pondering lately about indie versus traditionally published books. I realized that prior to becoming an author seven years ago, all the books I read were in the latter category. Which I suppose makes sense because I didn’t even know the self-publishing world existed until I looked into it. And because I’m surrounded by […]
