Greetings! Today I’m coming at you with another question from an author who wants to know what readers think: what is YOUR ideal series length for Christian contemporary romance books? I love writing in series. I’m pretty sure it was Narelle Atkins who first encouraged me to write books in series, and now I’m wholly […]
A Season of Change
Do you handle change well? I don’t. Which means that right now, I’m struggling. You see, I worked part-time from home for the past five years while I stayed home with my kids. In August of this year, my youngest went to Kindergarten, and this mom rejoined the full-time workforce. Talk about change. While the […]
AI Narrated Audiobooks: Yes or No?
Just as I prepared to write my blog post, Amazon dropped a bombshell on the author world. It’s “beta testing” the creation and sale of computer-narrated audiobooks on Audible. Why is it a bombshell? Audible is one of the world’s biggest audiobook platforms. Up until now, it’s insisted that only human-narrated audiobooks can be sold […]
Christian Romance on Kobo Plus
Whether we love them or hate them, whether they’re truly good or bad for authors, reading subscription programs (and subscription programs in general) seem to be the new norm. I know that a lot of us use Kindle Unlimited, and I’m not suggesting there’s something wrong with that, but I wanted to tell you about […]

Quirky Reasons to Buy Books
Happy Friday the 13th—In October no less. I’m at a conference this weekend, so I’ll catch up to the comments asap–I always appreciate everyone who contributes with their comments. It’s how we get to know each other–and it’s just fun reading what everyone says–so again, thank you! So, I thought we’d have a little fun […]
Lust, Love, and Attraction
I stumbled across a conversation on Instagram the other day where an author was talking about romance novels and how they were a big cause of encouraging women to lust. She specifically called out Christian romance novels (as well as sweet/clean), saying that just leaving sex off the page wasn’t enough. And I get what […]

“I Do” or Don’t: The Role of Weddings in Romance Novels
Ah, weddings. The whirlwind of floral arrangements, the mingling scents of perfumes and colognes, the rustle of silk dresses, and the promise of forever sealed with the words “I do.” As an author, these moments offer the quintessential backdrop for heartfelt confessions, character growth, and divine intervention. But as a mother with a daughter about […]
