New Growth: You’re Still Alive

August 26, 2022 by Merrillee Whren

Last month my blog post mentioned some of the things we did on our most recent trip to Spokane, Washington, where I lived when I was in high school. Before we went to Spokane we drove through North Cascades National Park, since I’m trying to visit as many national parks as possible. During one of […]

Favorite Covers # Giveaway

August 10, 2022 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

I’ve been browsing bookshelves again. But instead of my usual bookstore hangout, I’ve been browsing online. My agent is getting my newest proposal ready to send out and asked for comparables. This is where I have to find titles published by the publishers I hope will publish my book. Wow, that’s a lot of publishing […]

Book Sightings #Giveaway

July 9, 2022 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

In 2005, I went to my first American Christian Fiction Writers Conference. I was so overwhelmed, didn’t know a soul there, and it seemed like everyone I met was published. Don’t get me wrong, I met really nice people. They weren’t bragging. But it seemed like everyone there was published. Except me. After that first […]

She Said Yes #Giveaway

June 9, 2022 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

For the last few years, our son has dated a few girls and found flaws with each one. My husband, Grant, told him someday he’d meet the one who would knock his socks off. Hannah blew in like a whirlwind last October. Our son and all the other boys had a crush on her in […]

Why Authors Give Away Free Books!

May 30, 2022 by Liwen Ho

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 […]

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, Or Is It?

May 26, 2022 by Merrillee Whren

How many words would it take to describe the picture above? Could you do a good job with the description? Could you actually describe the beauty in that picture to someone who couldn’t see? I would say there are times when a picture is worth a thousand words. On the other hand, there are times […]

Dueling Books # Giveaway

May 16, 2022 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

I set a goal to read more this year and so far, I’ve stuck with it. In the past, I’ve always carved out two or three days to read a book. But since I started editing, I don’t have that kind of time. Instead, I’ve found a new reading schedule. At night, my brain spins […]

Where Do I Live?

May 2, 2022 by Merrillee Whren

When authors write a story, they have to build the world in which the characters live. For most of my stories, I create a fictional, small town near a real, large city. Besides making a town where my characters live, I have to decide where they call home. Will it be an apartment, a bungalow, […]
