Happy Sunday! Today I’m going to be spending my afternoon packing for a trip to Las Vegas for a writer’s conference. (Although I leave late enough in the day tomorrow that I could put it off. I guess we’ll see ;) ). I’m super excited about this conference – not completely because of what I […]
Small Town Girl
Tomorrow marks the four-year anniversary of our family’s move to Waukesha, Wisconsin, for my husband to take a position as a pastor here. With a population of 72,000, this is the biggest city we’ve ever lived in by far. And it’s part of the Greater Milwaukee area, which has a population of over 1.5 million. […]
Christmas Movies Based on Books # Giveaway
I’m all about Christmas. Yes, I know Thanksgiving is first and I love that day as well. But Christmas forces the entire world to think of Jesus. Whether they want to or not. I have three trees in my house, and yes, they’re already up. One in the living room with lots of Christian ornaments […]
A Cover Reveal, A Series End, and A Giveaway
If all goes to plan, by the time you’re reading this, the final Peacock Hill novel should be finished. (Fun fact: all our posts here on InspyRomance are scheduled by the week prior to their posting date. This gives the admin team some sanity during the week so we aren’t biting our nails hoping that […]
A Thankful Heart (and #Giveaway)
Do you know what your calling in life is? Has it changed over the years? Do you think that there are some callings that don’t ever change? Here we are in the weeks between the Canadian Thanksgiving (October) and the American Thanksgiving (November). During this Thanksgiving season, I think about the many things I am thankful […]

It was our first time flying to Milwaukee and driving to the Prairie Du Sac area, and I’m a fan! Everyone was so nice. I completely understand the midwest spirit. I also prepared […]
I Walk the Beach
“I listen again to the whispering waves, Music of nature calming and brave. Its power unknown, its stillness untamed, Mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.” Excerpt from poem Whispering Waves by Edel T. Copeland Where is your happy place? The place you feel the most peaceful, the place you dream to be when […]
Sunday Edition
I love November. Growing up in the mountains, November (or sometimes half-way through October) was when we started getting snow in earnest. Here in Virginia, it’s when the heat and humidity finally admit that they will not be making a return until spring. (Or February, at least. Because it seems like there’s always a few […]
A Weekend of Refreshment
A few weeks ago I drove with my family to Sydney, Australia, from our home in Canberra, to attend the Omega Writers Conference. The 2019 conference was held in the Winbourne Edmund Rice Conference Centre at Mulgoa – located in the western outskirts of Sydney near the Blue Mountains. We drove the scenic route via […]
Planning a Wedding
One of the things I find most fun when writing Christian romance is planning a beautiful wedding at the end of a book. Of the five books out so far in my Abundance series, three of them end in weddings, including the most recent books I’ve written, Love and Roses and Love, Lies, and Homemade […]
