It’s the month of June and officially wedding season. Don’t believe me, just look and see how many of your Facebook friends start posting their wedding (or anniversary) photos, informing people how many years they’ve been married. In fact, my anniversary was on the 3rd (celebrated 17!). So I thought it would be fun to talk […]
Sunday Edition
Happy June! One of the things I love about June–and summer in general–is the fruit. We’ve had some delicious watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew lately. And strawberries. So many sweet, delicious strawberries. Do you have a favorite fruit? Winners this Week If you’re a winner, you should have received an email from the author in charge of […]
Art Imitating Life: First Dates + #Giveaway
Back in February 2015 I wrote a character interview blog post here at Inspy Romance for a new release. Fast forward seven years, and I have the rights back for my traditionally published CCR books that I’m gradually rereleasing. Winning Julia’s Heart (originally titled Winning Over the Heiress) will rerelease at Amazon later this month. […]
Mountains & Mole Hills (and a #Giveaway!)
Do you like author interviews? I’ve been interviewed about my writing before, but it’s always been audio-only. I got to do a Story Chat recently, though, with Valerie Comer, Narelle Atkins, and Elizabeth Maddrey where they asked me questions about my latest release, Olive. I built the whole thing up in my head as something […]
This is dedicated to the one I love…
This is dedicated to the one I love… If you listen to oldies, you heard that title in the harmonies of The Shirelles (or The Mamas and Papas), like I did when I wrote it. I’m sure the song will be in my head the rest of the day. I love reading the dedications in […]
The Big Finish (and a giveaway)
I love reading fiction. I love getting acquainted with believable characters. I look forward to stepping into their lives and daily routines each time I open up the book. I love falling in love with the hero right alongside the heroine and feeling that romantic rush. I love the heart pump that results from suspenseful […]
Release Day and a Giveaway!
By now, I’m sure you’ve figured out that authors love words. We love using them to tell stories and to bring encouragement. And we all have our favorites that we try and sneak into every story. Want to know one of mine? Kaleidoscope. Why? No idea except it immediately puts a picture in my head. […]
Why Authors Give Away Free Books!
I remember when my two kids were small, going to Costco was an adventure. They loved climbing around on the big stacks of toilet paper (which we were later told was a no-no! lol) and eating the samples they served there. I also loved the free food that kept the kids happy and occupied while […]
Sunday Edition
Happy Sunday! Next week winter will arrive in Australia, which means I’ll be waking to morning frosts and dreaming about warmer weather, tropical beaches, and summer vacations. Those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are probably planning your upcoming summer activities. Do you take a summer vacation? Will you be heading to the beach or […]
Is it Romantic Women’s Fiction or Romance? (plus giveaway)
You’re ready to grab something new off the TBR or a gorgeous cover snagged your attention, but you’re in the mood for a certain kind of tale. It might be a tearjerker, or maybe that’s what you want to avoid. Or perhaps you want a little romance, but would prefer it takes a backseat to […]
