Shannon here: Today, I’ve invited my book sharing buddy, Tina Radcliffe to be my guest here at Inspy. So take it away Tina: There is nothing more satisfying than falling in love with love as you read an inspirational romance. These novels provide a romance arc that is a fluid journey from hello to I […]
Summertime Means Homemade Ice Cream
Hello! Jolene Navarro here checking in from my front porch, eating homemade ice cream. It’s summer so it’s time to make creamy vanilla ice cream. If you have never made it before, it’s not difficult and so much fun. When I was growing up we had to take turns hang cranking the ice cream…that was […]

I participate in a weekly book chat on another blog. In a recent post we asked the question: What’s the one genre you can never read enough of? The post inspired me to remember why CCR is my favorite genre to read (and write). Today I’m sharing with you 5 reasons why I love reading […]
Hanging Out With Melissa Tagg and a Giveaway!
Hi Inspy Romance Readers! Last month I had such a blast at the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat in Rockville, Maryland! One of the authors I enjoyed talking to and being on a panel with was Melissa Tagg. We had to pretend to be one of our characters and answer questions as they would. I ventured […]
Plan Your Summer Book-cation
May is nearly over, people! Can you believe it? The second most jam-packed month of the year is almost done. School will be out soon, vacations are being planned, and the weather is finally warming up after the eternal winter we had this year. Can you tell I’m excited?! I don’t know if you have […]

Along the Texas Coast & A Book Giveaway
Hola! Jolene Navarro checking in from the beautiful Texas Hill Country. My writing view today. I was in San Antonio, so I stopped off at Panera to get some writing time. I love it when a writer submerges the reader into a new world and you get to experience it from the character’s viewpoint. […]
St. Simons Vacation Inspiration-The Art of Rivers- Preorder 99 Cents!
A couple of years ago, my family spent our vacation on the Georgia coast at St. Simons. The large oaks lining the roads dripped with moss, giving it a romantic yet suspenseful feel to my vivid imagination. We toured the historical Christ’s Church, thought to have begun around 1776. We walked the town and toured […]
You did what, now?
That’s what I ask myself all the time. My poor hubby might also ask me this…a lot. Yeah, I’m kind of impulsive and impetuous (and impertinent and all kinds of other im-words). This time, though, it was a really good thing! When they sent me the invitation to become a part of InspyRomance, I have […]
Writing Friends
I’ve mentioned before what a solitary pursuit writing can be. Since I’m back on deadline, my typical day consists of getting up at seven. And I’m soooo not a morning person. I see my son off to school and my preacher husband off to the church. By eight I’m at my desk with my second […]
