I had no idea I’d be assigned this date to blog in October until our fearless admin Elizabeth Maddrey made the schedule, but I’m happy (and amused) that it was for today. Why? Because this day has been a loooong time coming. It was this time last year that Jan Thompson asked if I would […]
Childhood Sweethearts (+giveaway)
What’s your favorite trope within CCR? I see this question asked a lot, and I have to admit I am one of those people who can’t choose a favorite ANYTHING to save her life. I mean, in all the breadth of the whole world, why would I limit myself? I do find myself drawn to […]
Lots of Firsts #Giveaway
I’m having a lot of firsts this month. My first novella releases on Sept 28th. It includes my first story set on a beach. First book in ten years without a cowboy on the cover. But my guy is still a cowboy and he even owns Romantic Beach Rides so couples can rent a horse […]
Sneak Peeks: Yes or No? (+ #Giveaway)
Hello InspyRomancers! I have a big question for you today. Sneak peeks—yes or no? More specifically speaking, as a reader, do you like to read excerpts or sample chapters from a book that hasn’t been released yet? I’ve asked this question to my reader group before and was surprised to discover that some readers prefer […]
Meant to Be Together (And a Giveaway!)
Last week, I learned a new word: shipping. Not the kind that has to do with boats and sailing the seven seas, but with romance. For context, about a month ago, I got into a video game my children and husband really enjoy. The game is visually incredible, has a deep and touching story, and […]
Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend
The most difficult part of writing books isn’t always writing the book. In my three years in the indie author community, I’ve learned that we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Some authors excel at marketing their books. Some can write and publish a new book every month. Some write fantastic, memorable stories that remind […]
Why Contemporary? and a #giveaway
Have you ever found yourself wanting to read a certain genre more than others? Obviously, since you’re here, you love Contemporary Christian Romance. Right? But I have a confession. I prefer to read historical. What? But you write contemporary! I know. But just look at my bookshelf. Besides how messy it is, what do you […]
Writer Mojo #Giveaway
A few months ago, we bought a new desk for my husband. Only once we got it home, he didn’t like it. But it had so much storage with bookcases and a file drawer. Though I loved my white desk, the keyboard tray was too small to hold my my keyboard and my mouse. So […]
It Runs in The Family
It runs in the family. I don’t know about you, but I hear that a lot. I’ve said it many times, and it can mean any number of things. Earlier this week, I was doing a Thankful Thursday post and I mentioned how much I’m like my dad. I used the word stubborn, though he […]
#TBT: A look back at my author journey
I’m not sure who started #TBTs (Throwback Thursdays), but I do find them to be a lot of fun. Especially when we get to revisit old photos from the past and see all the different hairstyles and clothing that used to be in fashion. It’s both a cringe-worthy and nostalgic experience! LOL Since today is […]
