Why I Love Writing Hockey Romance

January 20, 2024 by Carolyn Miller

Next week sees the release of my eight Christian hockey romance title, The Love Penalty. This is the second book in my new hockey series Northwest Ice, and follows the success of the Original Six series, which was based on the cities where pro hockey was first played in North America. In the past year […]

Happy New Reading!

January 2, 2024 by Carolyn Miller

I always enjoy the start of a new year. It’s like what’s said in Anne of Green Gables – “there’s no mistakes in it – yet.” I’m not really one for making New Year’s resolutions, although in The Breakup Project I wrote about a woman who does, which includes (among other things) the resolution to […]

What’s Your Ideal Series Length?

November 28, 2023 by Carolyn Miller

Greetings! Today I’m coming at you with another question from an author who wants to know what readers think: what is YOUR ideal series length for Christian contemporary romance books? I love writing in series. I’m pretty sure it was Narelle Atkins who first encouraged me to write books in series, and now I’m wholly […]

It’s Beginning to Look Like a Lot of Christmas… (& a sale!)

October 27, 2023 by Carolyn Miller

A few years ago I had my first Christmas novella published as part of the ‘Joy to the World’ collection, and discovered just how voracious readers can be for Christmas stories. Last year I wrote a contemporary Christmas novella (Originally Yours) as a special free gift for newsletter subscribers, and a full length Christmas contemporary […]

Books That Make Me Cry

September 27, 2023 by Carolyn Miller

Is there anything more powerful than a redemption story? This month I’ve been writing my next Christian hockey book, The Love Penalty (out January next year), and because I like to give my readers different types of stories so they don’t all sound the same, I figured it was time to explore some aspects of […]

Love in the Kitchen (+giveaway)

September 11, 2023 by Jaycee Weaver

Did you know September 10-16 is Chef Appreciation Week this year? How exciting is that?! I know, I know, it’s back-to-school season, but I’ve already written a back-to-school post. Yeah, I’ve already written a food post too, but this time I thought it would be fun to talk about those who fulfill our fictional food […]

How Does a Story Come Together?

July 28, 2023 by Carolyn Miller

Ask a dozen different authors this question and you could get a hundred different answers. It’s fascinating to look back on the process of how a story comes together, so the story has enough weight and oomph that it can sustain many thousands of words that readers want to read. I was thinking about this […]

My latest book, Love Somebody Like You, released last week – woohoo! This is the fifth book in the Trinity Lakes Romance series, a multi-author Christian contemporary series that has been several years in the making. A number of years ago I discussed with fellow Aussie author Narelle Atkins about how we could create a […]

Reader Help Needed!

May 31, 2023 by Carolyn Miller

Sometimes writing a book takes an author by surprise. Take my upcoming book, Fire and Ice, the first book in my new Northwest Ice Christian hockey romance series. There I was, all happily writing about a female sports reporter and a gentlemanly rancher’s son who plays in the NHL, when suddenly research took me to […]
