I have a big favor to ask. You see, I’ve been sitting on a contemporary romance story idea for a long time. One that will likely eventually kick off a new series! In fact, I’ve even started writing it. However, for several months I’ve let other things take top pilling over getting it done. Important […]
Sneak Peek of Fiancé Finale
Now that Hero Debut has released, I’m editing book three in the Love Off Script Series. And Fiancé Finale just might be my fave! If you’ve read Husband Auditions, you met Charlie. You may or may not remember that on the night before his ex was supposed to wed another man, he randomly prays, […]
SNEAK PEEK: The Last Mountain Christmas
It’s October, which means the season for Christmas books is upon us! We’ll start to see contemporary Christian romance holiday releases popping up all over. Are you a fan of holiday books? I’m a sucker for just about any story that happens during the Christmas season. Throw in romance and I’m hooked! That’s why I’m […]
Waiting for Fall + Excerpt
This summer, my town in Texas, USA has experienced 60+ days in a row of temperatures above 100 degrees. To say I’m ready for a reprieve is an understatement! This time of year, as I (im)patiently wait for the weather to turn lovely as fall creeps into the States, I always think about my book […]
Do You Love Sports?
Currently in the United States, we are in the football playoff season. Lots of women don’t care for sports, but I love them. I’m not sure why I love sports when so many women don’t. Maybe it’s because I grew up with three brothers who all played numerous sports, but then I was the oldest […]
Sneak Peek at Spinoff
Remember that time my romantic comedy, Husband Auditions, was a finalist for the Christy Award? Crazy, huh? Well, whether it wins or not, I’m excited about the spinoff, Hero Rehearsals. My next rom-com involves an aspiring screenplay writer who attends a citizen’s police academy as research and ends up causing trouble…especially for the policeman who’s […]
Memories
When you read this post, my husband and I will be traveling, and I probably won’t be able to respond to comments until we stop somewhere for the night. The picture above was taken while we were visiting Spokane, Washington, for a family reunion. Two of my brothers still live in Spokane, the other in […]
Writer Girl
Have you noticed that the Inspy Romance bloggers are also IR readers? That’s how I started my journey with this blog, as an avid reader. Now that I’m part of the rotation, I look forward to the daily posts in my inbox just as much as I did when I was a reader. I learn […]
An Excerpt From Husband Auditions (And Giveaway)
I’m excited to announce that I signed a contract for my romantic comedy Husband Auditions. I finished writing this book over a year ago and have been talking about it since, so you might not have even realized I hadn’t sold it yet. The truth is that this book helped keep me going through chemotherapy. […]
Excerpt! The Black Sheep’s Salvation by Deb Kastner
I’m super excited to have a new Harlequin Love Inspired book out this month. Not only that, but The Black Sheep’s Salvation is the first in a new six-book series set in the fictional town of Whispering Pines, Colorado. I’ve been writing books set in Texas over the past many years and I’m LOVING getting […]
