In less than a month, my next book releases! EEE!!! Now is when all the nerves and excitement really start kicking in! Putting the final touches on edits and cover and marketing plans–it’s a whirlwind! I’ve started back to work full time this past year, and this is my first book release since then. I’ll […]
Writing on Hard Topics + Giveaway
I write about things that are hard to read, and they’re not for everyone. With my most recent WIP (work in progress), I went in search of beta readers to check for accuracy. I wanted them to read it to make sure I represented the situation well and didn’t add too much information so as […]
A Winter Wedding
What do you remember most about your wedding day preparations? In A Winter Wedding, a movie that I saw via UP Channel, Hallie and Lucas are recently engaged. Hallie has always dreamed of having her wedding in a tropical location. Hallie’s mom tries to take over the wedding, acting as if she were getting married […]
What’s in Your Basket of Feelings? + #Giveaway
When I say the word basket, what comes to mind? Maybe you immediately thought of this one … … because you’ve already done two loads of laundry today. Or maybe you thought of this one … … because it’s time to stock up the fridge again. (In which case, you’ll probably need one of these […]
Trends in Book Covers – Reader Input & a #Giveaway
I read an article recently. I know, I know. What’s the world coming to? Just kidding. I actually read articles all the time. Some are just more interesting than others. This particular article was about trends in romance book covers, and it got me to wondering whether or not they were right. Let’s face it. […]
Sunday Edition
Happy March! We’ve got two weeks left in this year’s Birthday Bash! I’ve loved (and I know the other authors have as well) seeing all the comments on all the posts. I hope some of you who are new (or who usually lurk) will keep on commenting when the bash is over. I don’t have […]
Pheromones — Good or Bad? #giveaway
We’ve all heard about the fascinating chemical secreted by animals (and humans too). Pheromones act as a signal to attract males and females to each other, and as romance readers, we’ve seen them at work between the pages of the love stories we so enjoy. But pheromones don’t only induce feelings of love and flitting […]
Ask an author (almost) anything!
If you’ve ever wanted to ask me a question about writing, my books, publishing, almost anything, here’s your chance! Okay, I confess. The weeks since my last post here seems to have disappeared sooooo fast, I actually had no idea what to post about this time! Well, I DID get an idea, thought “Oh, great, […]
Staying Organized and a #Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I don’t know about you all, but I struggle to stay organized on a daily basis. I wear a lot of hats, and what works while I’m in homeschooling mom mode doesn’t necessarily work when I’m keeping track of numerous appointments. And all of that is completely different from staying focused on what I’m writing. […]
Christian Author, Secular Market? #Giveaway
Greetings, Inspyromance readers! I have a question for you: do Christian writers always, and only, write for the Christian market? No, not always and only. I’m a Christian writer, and the author of many Christian romances, but I have a new series of books coming out with HQN books (the first one released yesterday) They […]
