Happy time change weekend! I was so excited last year when I read that the Senate had passed a bill getting rid of daylight savings. And then I was sad when the House didn’t even bother to put it on their schedule. So here we are again, uselessly shifting our clocks around and losing sleep […]
This One’s My Favorite
I love all the stories I write. They came out of my brain, so it makes sense that I love them too. But some stories hold a bigger piece of my heart than others. Out of all of my books, I do have a favorite. This particular story was on my mind before I finished […]
Winning His Trust + #Giveaway
I’m a pantser. Now some of you may not know what that means so I’ll explain. Basically it means I don’t plot or have an outline on how I want the story to go. I let the characters take over and I’m merely along for the ride. However, that does mean that sometimes the story […]
Characters We Love To Hate + #Giveaway
I read in multiple genres, and I like reading stories that include characters who I dislike, or even hate. In a contemporary Christian Romance (CCR) I’m okay with disliking characters as long as they aren’t the hero or heroine. I don’t want to be stuck in an unlikeable character’s point of view for long periods […]
When Authors are One Word Away from Quitting (+ #Giveaway)
Hi Inspy Romancers! Have you ever felt like quitting something? Maybe it was a new year’s resolution you made that seemed doable but over time became unachievable? Or a job that you dreaded doing every day, perhaps due to long hours or an unreasonable boss? Well, let me assure you that authors have been in […]
Meet Letty from His Runaway Crush – w/ a #GIVEAWAY
I hope your March is getting off to a fabulous start! It’s looking pretty sunshiny where I am – literally and metaphorically. 😊 For believers around the world, this is often a season of reflection and prayer as God prepares our hearts for Easter. This year, though, it’s also a season of great Christian romance. […]
Reading and Writing in a Story Universe
I don’t know that I ever thought too much about it, but soon after we write our first book, we as authors have to make a decision about book number two. Namely, does the story and the characters of book number two happen in the same “world” as book number one? And if it does, […]
Sunday Edition
Happy March! I feel like the older I get, the faster time seems to fly. But here we are, ready or not, diving into the third month of 2023. Our annual Birthday Bash continues for another two weeks – so definitely keep stopping by each day to comment! (And maybe you’ll get in the habit […]
How It All Started (and a #Giveaway!)
A couple recent blog posts from my fellow InspyRomance authors have inspired me to share this story. Specifically, Milla Holt’s post Back to the 90s. And Jaycee Weaver’s It’s Complicated. How Authors Really Feel About Their First Manuscript. I had a finished manuscript. Now, what was I going to do with it? I was going […]
Planning to Read?
Do you schedule time to read? I’ve gone over, under, and around this question for a while, and it’s made me curious about other readers’ habits. I think I could read from sun up to sun down, and most hours of the night, except that my family requires attention. Adulting is hard. My days are […]
