Remember my French guy? The one whose story I planned to finish? After that post, I got busy. I found a historical thread to tie into the contemporary story. I polished my 124 pages, worked in the new thread, and expanded the manuscript to 141 pages. It was a great story. I loved the characters, […]
Merry Christmas!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, KJV). Can you believe it’s December? I don’t know about you, but I heard that some early birds have already put up all their Christmas decorations and then some, turning their homes into winter […]
Thanksgiving Reflections and a #Giveaway
I hope those of you in the United States had a blessed Thanksgiving! I’ve been thinking a lot about the many things I’m thankful for this month, and I hope you all don’t mind if I share some of those with you. ~ Both of our kids were sick last weekend. It was a huge […]
What Are You Thankful For? Plus Giveaway
What are you thankful for? With Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, it felt right to ask this question. And it feels right to answer it myself first. What am I thankful for? First and foremost, it’s God’s love and grace. What better gift can we hope for? God loves us even when we make mistakes and don’t […]
Being Thankful
On Thursday our US authors and readers will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. Unfortunately in Australia we don’t have a Thanksgiving tradition like the US and Canada. Many years ago an American friend taught me how to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Roast turkey and mashed potato served with gravy and cranberry sauce is often […]
It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas…
… with all the Christmas music playing and Christmas decorations displayed in the stores. The reminders to post our overseas Christmas cards and gifts early (oops- I already missed the economy mail deadline for Australia – that’s gonna cost me!). And also, all the Christmas romance boxed sets launching! I love Christmas, though as I’m […]
Be Still and Know He is God
Where are your favorite fall (autumn) vacation spots? What do you usually do when you’re on vacation this time of the year? Do you like to go to the beach or up to the mountains? If you like going to the mountains in the fall, what do you usually do there? Do you spend time […]
Family Traditions and a Giveaway
Jolene Navarro here. Good evening from my front porch in the Texas Hill Country. My small town roots run deep, so writing about families in this part of Texas comes naturally for me. It’s what I know and love. Of the things, I love most? The holiday season. Our big expanded family gathers at a […]
My One Year Anniversary with InspyRomance + #Giveaway
I was glancing through my old blog posts for InspyRomance.com when I noticed I had written my very first post back in October 2017. That means I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of blogging here for a year now. Wow, time sure flies! I’ve truly enjoyed the community I’ve found with both the authors and […]
On Changing Seasons and Big Life Events
Some life events are just hard to get over. Like, riding in a canoe for the first time with your husband who thinks faster is better and rapids are fun. We are such opposites. And yes, that stinkin’ canoe tipped. I ended up in that cold, Michigan river. For a minute. I say a minute […]
