Happy March, everyone! We had our birthday bash and an introduction to spring in some areas. And, along with those things, I had the opportunity to do something I’ve always dreamed of doing. Our favorite winery that we visit in North Georgia was the location for a movie shoot. We are friends with the owners […]
Love is in the Air with Audiobooks
I enjoy cozying up in front of the fireplace or laying out by the pool as I read, but you know what I enjoy even more? An audiobook that helps a long drive fly by. In fact, some really good audiobooks make me want to keep on driving. In January, I drove to Salt Lake […]
Finding Love at Christmas PLUS GIVEAWAY
When I set out to write Finding Love in Big Sky, I knew there was a potential movie producer who might be interested, so I made it as Hallmark-ish as I could. There was ice skating, a cowboy ball, and the holidays. I never, in a million years, would have guessed they’d film the movie […]
Meet the Actors Who Brought My Book to Life
This past weekend, I got to do one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I got to see the characters from my book Finding Love in Big Sky come to life! Josh was the first character I met: Johnathan Stoddard was so engaging, intelligent, and giving. He got into acting as a kid, […]
Formula for Christmas Romance
It’s snowing in Idaho today, which is very appropriate for the release of A Christmas Romance Collection. The book set offers six romance novels that take place during the holidays, including my novel optioned for film, Finding Love in Big Sky, or, as the producer renamed it, Starlight Christmas. My book is also being recorded […]

From Pink Eye to Movie Deal: How God Led Me into Screenwriting (a Guest Post by Lesley Ann McDaniel)
I have always been a movie nerd. From the time I was old enough to stay up past my bedtime to watch Nostalgia Theatre on my twelve-inch black and white TV, I harbored a deep-down desire to work in the movie business. Strangely enough, I never really pursued it, but it has definitely pursued me. […]
Christian Romance on the Screen
If there’s anything I love as much as Christian romance novels, it’s Christian romance movies. (Okay, let’s be real here—I love movies almost as much as books but not quite. I’ll always be a book nerd at heart.) Although I enjoy almost any clean romance, as with books, my favorites are the ones with a […]
The Gift of Imagination
Life isn’t a Hallmark movie, but I do believe that Hallmark offers the magic of imagination that can get us through hard times. Honestly, as a writer, my friends and I have Hallmark movie watching parties where we pick apart the plot or recast the characters to our own liking. “I could write better than […]
Christmas Movies Based on Books # Giveaway
I’m all about Christmas. Yes, I know Thanksgiving is first and I love that day as well. But Christmas forces the entire world to think of Jesus. Whether they want to or not. I have three trees in my house, and yes, they’re already up. One in the living room with lots of Christian ornaments […]
