The Power of the Epilogue

February 5, 2020 by Julie Arduini

Happy February! How is 2020 going so far? I can’t complain. We’ve had pretty mild weather for Ohio, and found our routine after Christmas. Now it’s time to see what God has in store for the “love month.” Speaking of love… When Entrusted first released, a reader expressed her disappointment that there wasn’t a wedding […]

The Quick Proposal + Giveaway

September 7, 2019 by Julie Arduini

If you’re a parent, have you experienced a moment where your kids remind you of your past choices? Humbling, isn’t it? Last month we were in Upstate NY visiting family and our son brought his girlfriend with him so she could meet his grandmother and see the hills of Upstate NY that we don’t really […]

Inspy Romance Across the USA + #giveaway

August 7, 2019 by Julie Arduini

According to AAA, they estimate four out of ten Americans will travel for a family vacation this summer. Although we don’t have a specific vacation this year as opposed to our Branson destination last year, we’ve certainly added miles on our vehicles visiting family and enjoying summer outings. I started thinking as the Arduini family […]

That Something Extra

June 6, 2019 by Julie Arduini

Ah, June. The start of what I hope is a beautiful and blessed summer for all of us. I also like to think of summer as prime reading season. Actually, I love reading all year long, but there’s something about being poolside with a book and escaping the demands of real life that is extra […]

January 5, 2019 by Julie Arduini

Happy New Year! Are you someone that does resolutions? Goals? Perhaps you have a word for the year? I’m writing a little before Christmas because I’ll be traveling and I haven’t quite figured how I should tackle the new year. I can say that wellness has to be on my list. This is the first […]

Single Parent Characters

June 30, 2018 by Julie Arduini

One of the many favorite aspects of writing contemporary romances is the unexpected twists and turns God gives when I write. Although I have a skeleton plot for each book sketched out, little details emerge that catch me by surprise. Often those small things develop and take a life of their own. One example is […]

Cultural Differences

June 1, 2018 by Julie Arduini

It’s been nearly two weeks and I’m still reflecting on the royal wedding. A few people on Facebook asked why the nuptials between Prince Harry and former actress Meghan Markle are such a big deal, especially in America. I can’t say my answer is the universal one, but I’m interested in their story more than […]

First Love

March 5, 2018 by Julie Arduini

She mentioned the sparks and conflict between them, and how it made for characters close to her heart. I started my new romance, Anchored, and I think I need to start over because I’m just not feeling […]
