Here in Virginia, the leaves are just starting to change color — it’s been so lovely to watch our forest and see the subtle shifts from morning to morning as the cooler evening temperatures start to do their work on the trees. Are you seeing any color changes where you are? Winners this Week If […]
Christmas is 100 days away!

Collectors Anonymous
It has been an absolute joy getting to know the InspyRomance reader family this year, and this month, I thought I’d give you a glimpse into the inner workings of Judith McNees so you can get to know me better as well. One of the more quirky aspects of my personality is that I love […]
Again Upon a Time
Do you love fairy tales? There’s something timeless about them that makes us want to return again and again, whether it’s to a more cleaned up animated version or the original nitty-gritty tales by the Grimms brothers and Hans Christian Anderson and others. And maybe that’s why we also like to read new versions of […]
The Prodigal Daughter
The Prodigal Daughter A Guest Post by Meg Carmichael Hi. Meg here. Some may say I’m fictional, but I’m no more fictional than the Prodigal Son Jesus talked about in the Bible. You know the story, I’m sure. Change the gender, change the era from AD30 to AD2023, tweak a couple of details, and it’s […]

Big Year, Big Goals
I turn 49 in just under a month. Which means that this time next year, I’ll be a breath away from clocking 50. I know; I did the math and it’s shocking. :-) So, I’ve been thinking about what I can do to mark this major milestone. My tightening jeans and a set of awful […]
Unusual Hobbies
Once upon a time… It’s how all the best stories start, right? Or maybe, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Or maybe you want to do the Wayne’s World wavy lines and wiggle. However you get there, imagine if you will, 1989. A young nerdy girl in the summer between middle […]
