Hello Inspy Readers! I’d thought I’d spend a few of my post talking about my real-life novel settings, starting with my first novel Leaving Oxford. Oxford, Mississippi, is a small college town in Northern Mississippi hills about three hours from where I live. I spent time going to school there way back in the 80s. […]
Bad Boy Turned Hero Stories and a Favorite Inspirational Romance in 2020
Bad Boy Turned Hero Stories and a Favorite Inspirational Romance in 2020! As I was looking over the novels I read this year, I decided Kara Isaac’s Start With Me was my favorite contemporary Christian romance I’d read in 2020.

Sneak Peek Chapter 1 For the Love of Joy!
Hello InspyRomance Readers! We are less than a month away from the release of For the Love of Joy! I wanted to offer you a sneak peek of the romantic comedy. You’ll see this novel has a very Southern flavor–okay, all of my novels do, but this one even more so! The heroine is not […]
A Month of Christmas Books! + Giveaway
I have a thing for calendars. There, I’ve admitted it. I love them. I remember buying my grandmother one for Christmas every year, taking care to choose one with pictures sure to put a smile on her face (usually filled with lots of cats). As an adult, I buy a wide-box calendar for my fridge […]

Modern Hero and Heroine Careers
Modern Hero and Heroine Careers People often ask me how I come up with ideas, and if I have to do a lot of research for my novels. Normally, an idea springs from some small thing I hear someone say, a news story I read, or a person I talk to with a certain career. […]
Diseases in Fiction with Janet W. Ferguson
Diseases in Fiction with Janet W. Ferguson Bad things happen in life. Fictional stories would be pretty boring if nothing bad ever happened there too. I like fiction that leaves me with a good feeling at the end, though. So, in my stories, people have accidents or injuries or fires or hurricanes—you name it—that affect […]

Are You in a Book Club?
I’ve been in a local Christian fiction book club for many years—-before I ever thought of writing a novel. Many years ago (maybe 20 years!), a young mother discovered Christian fiction. The books she read impacted her faith so much she started a book club. She felt that God had used those stories to draw her […]
Talking to Myself
by: Staci Stallings I know I’m not the only one whose life got flip-turned upside down this last month, and I think it’s kind of ironic that my post would come out today—April 18, 2020. Literally one month after insanity took over in my world. Now I have been through my share of times that […]
