Where would we be without the support of our readers? It humbles me that some of our readers not only read our books but go extra mile by writing reviews, spreading the word, creating beautiful memes for our books, and simply encouraging us. It truly means a lot to us, and my heartfelt thanks to […]
Let’s Talk About Newsletters Plus #Giveaway
If you thought “Ah, this is going to be another post where Alexa is going to ask for our input,” you’re right. As an author, I value my newsletter subscribers so much. The space in your inbox is valuable and you probably receive many emails every day, including newsletters from different authors. So I’d love […]
Let’s Talk About Readers Groups Plus Giveaway
I enjoy discussing books. But as I live in a small town, there are no book clubs or readers groups I know of I could attend. Besides, being shy, I often prefer to communicate online rather than in person. So I love several online readers groups, including Christian Romance Readers Gathering. Elizabeth Maddrey is an […]
Love sees with the heart
In reader groups, I’ve seen many readers complain that there are very few romances with less-than-model-perfect heroes and heroines. I’ve written a romance with a plus-sized heroine (Teapots & Tiaras), a highly unconventional heroine with a stuffy upper-class hero (Least Expected), an eighty-something heroine (Innamorata), and a couple of stories where the heroine needs a […]
Let’s Talk About Giveaways
This year, I felt led to do as many giveaways as possible. I love doing them because it gives me a chance to reward my readers (okay, at least the readers who win the giveaway) and to give back to them for all the support they are providing to us. It also gives me the […]
When Does Life Start… Or Romance Ends? Plus Giveaway
Have you ever wanted to be someone you’re not? I’m grateful for all I have, but on my fortieth birthday, I wanted to be twenty again, or even better, ten. Or thirty. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think forty is old. I think it’s young, and I hope you’ll agree with me. But I […]
The Series That Almost Didn’t Happen Plus Giveaway
I‘m not a person who gets lemons and immediately starts making lemonade, or a lemon pie, for that matter. So when two of my novellas were unpublished as part of the Kindle World, I just let them vanish. I procrastinated. But then…. I couldn’t let them go. The story about the heroine and the child […]
Series… Love Them Or Not? Plus Giveaway!
I love reading series. I enjoy the main hero and heroine’ story and often find myself rooting for secondary characters and wanting them to get their own books. And in the following books, it’s fun catching up with the characters I already fell in love with! I might be partial here because Autumn is a […]
What Are You Thankful For? Plus Giveaway
What are you thankful for? With Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, it felt right to ask this question. And it feels right to answer it myself first. What am I thankful for? First and foremost, it’s God’s love and grace. What better gift can we hope for? God loves us even when we make mistakes and don’t […]
What’s in the Box Plus Giveaway
I love books and I admit, I love bargains, so I’m grateful for the existence of box sets. I believe the first box set I bought was Splash! where I discovered several new to me authors (also a plus about multi-author sets). Later, I found it was fun to work with other writers while publishing […]
