The wonder of the Christmas season is upon us! 🎄 Although Advent doesn’t actually start until December 3 this year, when I was growing up, we always started decorating for Christmas on December 1, so December 1 is my default day for starting the Yuletide celebrations. (I grew up in Canada, where Thanksgiving takes place […]

Holiday Travel!
First I want to thank everyone for a great book release month for Their Surprise Second Chance. It was awesome watching God work through everyone who gave an encouraging word, shared a post, wrote a review. Thank you! What a great group of people! How many of you travel for the holidays? I must admit this […]
World Pizza Makers Day
The pizza in the photo above is a pizza I made. When I made this pizza, I had no idea there was a day celebrating pizza makers. I make my own dough, but I use pre-made sauce. My family loves my pizza. But whether you pull out a frozen pizza and pop it in the […]
From Everybody Dies to Happily Ever After by Deb Kastner
Grab yourself a cup of coffee (or tea, if you prefer), sit back in a comfy chair, and let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a young woman, a senior in high school who dreamt of one day becoming an author. She was super stoked to have the opportunity to […]
National Love Note Day
As you might suspect, today is National Love Note Day. Since we read and write romance here, it’s a good national day to celebrate. What can be more touching than a simple love note? Whether short or long, it will leave the receiver with a wonderful feeling. The note will lighten someone’s heart. Although this […]
Love in the Kitchen (+giveaway)
Did you know September 10-16 is Chef Appreciation Week this year? How exciting is that?! I know, I know, it’s back-to-school season, but I’ve already written a back-to-school post. Yeah, I’ve already written a food post too, but this time I thought it would be fun to talk about those who fulfill our fictional food […]

Love in the Everyday Moments
My husband and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago. And to mark the occasion we…spent the day at home with our kids. Which, on the surface, might seem like a pretty boring way for a romance writer to spend her anniversary. But I would argue that it’s not! Because as […]
Let’s Hear it for August!
I’m a child of the 1960s. When I was growing up, major national holidays in the US were something to look forward to. New Year’s in January; Valentine’s Day, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington’s birthdays in February (later condensed to one day, Presidents Day); St. Patrick’s Day in March; Easter usually in April; May Day, […]
