I can totally identify with the photo of the coffee spilling on the keyboard! Anyone else? As my social media feed (particularly on Instagram) becomes overly filtered and posed, I’ve come to appreciate those people who still share “real” life. Not that I don’t love those beautiful posts–but “real life” stuff has it’s own […]
Exciting News
I have lots of good news this month. Within mere days of my last post, I found my lost pages from the French guy who turned into an Italian guy book. I hate to admit how I lost them, but I will. I changed the title of the book, then promptly forgot the title, so […]
Match Me If You Can
In less than a month, my next book releases! EEE!!! Now is when all the nerves and excitement really start kicking in! Putting the final touches on edits and cover and marketing plans–it’s a whirlwind! I’ve started back to work full time this past year, and this is my first book release since then. I’ll […]
Christian Author, Secular Market? #Giveaway
Greetings, Inspyromance readers! I have a question for you: do Christian writers always, and only, write for the Christian market? No, not always and only. I’m a Christian writer, and the author of many Christian romances, but I have a new series of books coming out with HQN books (the first one released yesterday) They […]
Racing Through Life
by: Staci Stallings I saw a post the other day on Facebook that said, “Only 45 more weeks until Christmas Day!” For the average person, they would probably laugh that off. For me, it literally caused a zing of anxiety to zap through my body. I’ve told you here about my son’s Christmas light show, […]
Courting Calla and the Crossroads Collections
About 18 months ago, I was approached by an author friend, Amanda Tru, to be part of a box set that was a little different than the standard box sets. This one would have a common theme running through it and the final book would tie all of the other books together. Amanda named the […]
The Series That Almost Didn’t Happen Plus Giveaway
I‘m not a person who gets lemons and immediately starts making lemonade, or a lemon pie, for that matter. So when two of my novellas were unpublished as part of the Kindle World, I just let them vanish. I procrastinated. But then…. I couldn’t let them go. The story about the heroine and the child […]
How Do You Respond to Adversity?… plus #giveaway
Ever have a day (week? month? year?) when Murphy’s law kicks in? Everything that could possibly go wrong… just did. Sure, there might’ve been a pleasant moment or two in there as well, but it seems those were only in there to get your hopes up so they could be crushed again! As much as […]
When Does CCR Become Too Preachy?
The Sweetest Spark, book 3 in my Spark Bothers series just published earlier this month. As with any book release, I was both excited and anxious on release day, especially when the reviews started coming in. In my four plus years of being an author, I’ve come to learn that not everyone will like your story—and […]
The Makings of a New Series
I caught a wave… It was on a whim. While looking through various Amazon book lists (I like to see what people are buying, and I look at covers, since I enjoy creating them) Anyway, I noticed all these Billionaire romances cluttering the lists. I remember when it was Mail Order Bride that […]
