February — the month of love! There’s more to love than romance! We’re having a peek this month at the four of the varieties of love as set out in C.S. Lewis’s book, The Four Loves.

This week? Philios, a friend bond. According to Wikipedia…

Philios is the love between friends as close as siblings in strength and duration. The friendship is the strong bond existing between people who share common values, interests or activities….

What would we do without philios love? I’m so thankful for YOU, my friends here at Inspy Romance!!!

I have so many photos from 20BooksVegas, the conference in Las Vegas where I met Elizabeth Maddrey in person for the first time… and so many other great Christian and secular authors. We all had such a good time getting to know each other. So much laughter! But all my photos seem to be of me + one other, not a group of Christian romance authors you might know! Elizabeth shared a photo of her and me with Carol Moncado back in a Sunday Edition in November.
