My new book cover may be my favorite cover yet. It reminds me of other books I’ve read recently and enjoyed. But let’s talk about what I think you’ll appreciate about this book. First of all, I like the title. As the second novel in my Love Off Script series, I’d been calling it Hero […]
Cover Reveal and Coming Soon!
So, this isn’t the first time I’ve talked about covers here on the Inspy blog. A few years ago (which feels like forever) I talked about The Cowboy’s Twins and how they had to mirror image the hero Jax so his scar wasn’t showing, which in turn made the babies he was holding look odd […]
Which Story Element is Important to You? + #Giveaway

It’s Complicated… (interesting characters usually are) + cover reveal
If you’ve been on social media at any point in the last decade, you’ve probably noticed at least one of your “friends” with the relationship status It’s Complicated.

Of Babes and Book Babies (plus cover reveal)
We all love babies, don’t we? And the anticipation of their arrival… Two weeks ago, we had my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. It was wonderful and I was able to hand over the myriads of pink and frilly clothes I’d been buying for months…from the day after we found out that we’d be blessed with our […]

New (cover) & Renew (creativity)
Hola! Jolene Navarro checking in from the Texas Hill Country. Watching the sunset over the ranch that is on the other side of our road. It’s for sale. Anyone have a few million I could use? It’s right on the Guadalupe River. Perfect place for a writing retreat. That’s one of my far fetched dreams, owning […]
I Still Do – Cover Share and Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
October has become one of my busiest writing months in a while. I’m currently polishing up my next release and thought I’d share the cover with you all. This book has been such a fun one to write, and most of it takes place in Colorado during a blizzard. It isn’t easy writing about snow […]
