I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore. It’s been years since I’ve bothered. Just as soon as I made a list of goals, habits I wanted to change (or develop LOL), weight to lose, well, I’d break it and never manage to get back on track. And then the Type A overachiever side of me […]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Winter … (plus two free downloads!)
It’s December! Time to don your mittens and scarves, bundle up in your big winter coat, and crunch through the snow in your boots. Right? No? Well, that was what December meant for most of my life. I spent the majority of my years living in Illinois, with a decade in Pennsylvania thrown in there, […]
Author Newsletters & Reader Magnets & Free Books – Love them or Hate them?
Many years ago Valerie Comer asked the authors in our blogging group to provide a link to our author newsletter for the Inspy Romance website. She later asked us to provide information on our free reader magnet stories that are available for our newsletter subscribers. I had great intentions of creating a reader magnet for […]
Be Do Have–The Ultimate Lesson
by: Staci Stallings Many years ago I wrote an article for a blog called “Be Do Have.” It was about an insight I had recently had about life. In the article, I explained that most people in life get this backward. They believe that they need to have before they can do and they need […]
Old Friends
by: Staci Stallings I just heard a song called, “You Can’t Make Old Friends,” and it got me to thinking about the series that is currently being released called “The Imagination Series.” Much like The Grace Series before it, The Imagination Series follows a group of friends.

Love as a Verb
by: Staci Stallings One of my most popular series is called The Courage Series (To Protect & Serve, White Knight, and For Real). The Courage Series revolves around a firefighter who becomes kind of the center-pin for a whole group of friends. In the course of the three novels, the characters again and again face […]
The Top Page
by: Staci Stallings I wrote this article a few years ago when we were just beginning to see the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel of my son’s dyslexia. To this day, it brings me to tears to think of these precious moments with him as his world began to open up […]
The Good Parts
Hi everyone! Lee Tobin McClain here, to talk about old Harlequin novels, “the good parts” of Christian romances, and my new release, A Doctor’s Bond. I first read romance novels when I would visit my cousin Kathy in Titusville, PA. Her mom had a whole shelf full of Harlequins, and we were allowed to read […]
Abiding In Him
Behind the Story of “To Protect & Serve” by: Staci Stallings It always amazes me how there is a story and then the stories that happen while I’m writing the stories. Oftentimes I learn as much from one as from the other. That was certainly true of “To Protect & Serve.” Now first of all, […]
