Hello, and thanks for visiting. Have you been to Sassafras, Arkansas before? Well, it’s not terribly easy to get to. Basically, it’s only found in a few books by Amy R Anguish. But we’re fairly proud of our little town. Where exactly are we located? Well, you know. About an hour north-east-ish of Little Rock. […]
Destination Christmases
Do you travel for Christmas? It’s been years since my crew has been away from home on Christmas. We have a lot of family we’re close to, which used to mean a lot of obligations over the holidays. As much as we loved everyone, it was exhausting. My husband and I decided early on that […]
Invitation to a Cozy Christmas
I’m a sucker for anything cozy. Crackling fireplaces, a steaming mug of coffee, or snuggling under a blanket when the temperature outside falls. Add a good book set at Christmas time and you’ve got yourself just about the perfect combination! I had the pleasure of joining together with three other CCR authors to bring readers […]
Using Bad for Books
Do you ever wonder why things happen? About fifteen years ago, my husband and I found out we had a journey ahead of us in trying to get pregnant. That was the same day he also found out there wasn’t a teaching position for him the next school year. Needless to say, the next few […]
Escape to … Italia
Seven years ago, we traveled through Northern Italy. Have you ever been? Even now, I can shut my eyes and remember the aromas of truffle oil and garlic that saturated the air around our apartment in Florence. So heavenly! What does this have to do with writing novels? Everything. You see, at the time, I […]
Festive Love & Giveaway
One of the best parts of reading a novella collection is enjoying more than one story without having to grab another book. In this new collection I am part of, releasing September 27 (we’re so close!), you get all four seasons, each set in a different small town during that town’s main street festival. Today, […]
Back to Ọlọrọ Ilé + #Giveaway
A couple of years ago, I created a fictional country for the setting of my book In Search of a Prince. I never imagined how much I would come to love Ọlọrọ Ilé and the people there. When I wrote my book, To Win a Prince, I was happy to return to the country and the people. If you […]
Beach Reads
Do you have a beach where you live? Growing up, I didn’t, but my family would travel to Cape Cod every summer to visit my grandparents, who owned a beachfront inn. For two or three weeks, we’d go to the beach every day, often with a whole cadre of aunts, uncles, and cousins. We’d swim, […]
Story Time
It’s inevitable: at the beginning of every month, I wonder, “How did it get to be [fill in name of month here] already? I am constantly marveling at (maybe more like lamenting) how fast time passes. I mean, summer just started, and now my kids start school next week? Or, harder still, my oldest was […]
Memories
When you read this post, my husband and I will be traveling, and I probably won’t be able to respond to comments until we stop somewhere for the night. The picture above was taken while we were visiting Spokane, Washington, for a family reunion. Two of my brothers still live in Spokane, the other in […]
