I’m very excited to have been part of the latest Crossroads Collection. If you’ve never heard of the Crossroads before, they’re the brainchild of Christian romance and suspense author Amanda Tru, where all of the books in a collection all have some common theme, and the final book ties them all together. They’re quite brilliant. […]
Small Ways To Make Christmas Special
I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving! Then right on its heels is Christmas. Last year, I wrote a Madison Creek Township Christmas novella, but I decided not to publish it until this year. (At the time, I didn’t realize I’d have two other Christmas stories also coming out (as part of collections with other […]
Touring Ireland! Star Rising by Janet W. Ferguson
Isn’t it fun to travel, whether vicariously in a book, or in real life? Last year, I was blessed to get to travel to Ireland with my family. This year, I relived a good bit of that trip when I took my characters on a similar journey! It was so much fun! One particular scene […]
A New Beginning by Merrillee Whren
Last month I talked about a letter I had written to myself that contained goals. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had accomplished all five things on the list. One of the things on the list was to request my rights back for one of my Love Inspired books, Montana Match. A week […]
Finding The Perfect Holiday Cover…
Has been one big challenge. In years past, I did good to scramble together one Christmas story. I love Christmas stories, but by the time I’m finally in the mood to actually think about Christmas, it’s upon us. (Crafting gifts has the same issues) So, last year, I wrote a Christmas story and held on […]
My 30th Book Birthday!
There is a saying that goes, “Write what you know.” As much as that’s helpful, that would be a very short-lived career. I am an army wife, the ex-wife of a drug addict, a cook, a mother, a special needs mother, and…that’s what I know. All of my characters who are anything but those things, […]
A New Christmas Romance from Kimberly Rose Johnson
It’s so great to be back on the Inspy Romance Blog once again. I’ve missed you! Since I’ve been away, I’ve kept busy mostly writing romantic suspense and romantic mystery, but I recently had a sweet Christian romance novella release. It’s part of the Small-Town Christmas Wishes Series set in the fictional small town, Snowflake, […]
Retelling the (Fairy) Tale
Ah, fairy tales. Like so much classic literature, fairy tales form the basis for many contemporary stories. In recent years, retellings have even become so popular they’ve become their own subgenre in fiction. And it makes sense. The originals are clean and usually end happily. Good triumphs over evil. The impossible becomes possible. Romance. Magic. […]
Romance, Hope & Gratitude.
Hola, Jolene Navarro here. As romance authors, I believe we have the power to make the world a better place one book at a time. We do it with gratitude, hope and love. In my October 15th release The Texan’s Surprise Return Selena De La Rosa, the heroine gets her greatest Christmas gift. She is […]
My Favorite Spark Brother
Did you know that authors have a whole gaggle of kids? Let me explain. In my real life, I am a mama of two—a teenage son and a pre-teen daughter—whom I refer to as my munchkins. In my author life, I’m also a mom to all the characters I’ve created, including the five guys in […]
