Today, I’m welcoming my guest Amy R. Anguish. I recently had the pleasure of editing Amy’s book, Saving Grace. I love this story, love the characters, plus there’s humor and plenty of swoon worthy moments. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. I’ve been a friends to romance fan for years. Here’s Amy: […]
What You Do For Love by Merrillee Whren
As I write this, I am sitting at the desk my granddaughters have set up for me in the dining room of their home. They were excited to show me this surprise. They know that when Grandma comes to visit, she usually spends some time on her computer doing writer things. Here’s my new desk […]
Top 10 Cheesy Pick-Up Lines + #Giveaway
Confession time: I love cheesy pick-up lines. Why, you ask? I think it’s because I appreciate a good sense of humor. It’s a good thing I married a man with one, although I didn’t know how funny he’d become with time. (The dad jokes are strong with this one. Ha!) I also believe life is […]
What Can I Do To Make It Better?
I love to cook and I don’t mind following a recipe, but I’m always asking myself ‘what can I do to make it better?’ I had planned to use ground turkey for last night’s supper. I usually make turkey burgers with it but wanted to stretch out and try something new. As a side note, […]
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. […]
Between Books #Giveaway
Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
Author Interview: Tara Grace Ericson
Hi Everyone! I recently read A Date for Daisy by Tara Grace Ericson and loved it! Tara’s one of our newer bloggers here at Inspy Romance, and I wanted to get to know her better and learn more about how she wrote this great book, so I got out my former reporter skills and interviewed […]
The Boy Next Door and The Heartbroken Girl – Waiting For You
The Spencer family first came into existence when I wrote Mistletoe Kiss. I hadn’t planned to write a series, but I absolutely fell in love with the family when I was writing Chase’s story! I normally get to know the characters before I start writing. I already knew Wade from Mistletoe Kiss—the sweet, dependable, boy […]
Why I Write Christian Romances with a Hardback Series Giveaway
My well was dry this week. I finished writing Alexandra’s Appeal, and incredibly emotional, full-length novel on a Friday. Instead of taking my standard 2-weeks off to recharge my creative juices, I immediately started writing a Christmas novella, The Seven Year Glitch, because it’s due on September 1st. It’s been very hard to write that […]
Enemies to Love Tropes–Star Rising
Today I wanted to talk about the writing trope: Enemies to Love. Funny thing is when I started writing, I had no idea what tropes were. In fact, I’m still learning. These days, the word trope has also come to be used for describing commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices in creative works. I looked […]
