If you thought “Ah, this is going to be another post where Alexa is going to ask for our input,” you’re right. As an author, I value my newsletter subscribers so much. The space in your inbox is valuable and you probably receive many emails every day, including newsletters from different authors. So I’d love […]
New Chapter and a Giveaway by Deb Kastner
With Her Forgotten Cowboy, my September release from Harlequin Love Inspired, I’ll be saying goodbye to a fictional Texas town, Serendipity, which I’ve inhabited through three miniseries and a novella for a total of 17 books. Naturally, I’m feeling bittersweet. I know this town and its people intimately, especially the boisterous old redhead Jo Spencer, […]
Perfect Love in an Imperfect World
You know that verse, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)? Man, it’s so easy to get stuck on those middle two words “fall short,” isn’t it? Especially if you’re a recovering perfectionist like me. Failing and falling short are hard to come to terms with when you’re […]
I Can’t Help Falling in Love
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 […]
Let’s Talk About Readers Groups Plus Giveaway
I enjoy discussing books. But as I live in a small town, there are no book clubs or readers groups I know of I could attend. Besides, being shy, I often prefer to communicate online rather than in person. So I love several online readers groups, including Christian Romance Readers Gathering. Elizabeth Maddrey is an […]
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 […]
Secrets and the Writing Journey
The tasks in a writer’s life are akin to the ebb and flow of waves that lap along the shoreline. No matter how many are checked off the list, there’s always another heading in. Sometimes, like a boat caught in those waves, a writer can become overwhelmed. A few years ago I was tackling a […]
Surrender Issues and Romance
The only reason I’m a published author today is because on December 31, 2006, I surrendered my fears about what people think about me and the fear of rejection and promised God I would write what He wanted, when He wanted. It’s been an amazing journey since that prayer. Through those years, and whether it […]
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 […]
Love Is…
I started reading romance novels when I was in my early teens. I started with some written in the mid-60s my mom had handed down to me and by the time I was 14 or 15 had graduated to the early Harelquin novels that were very clean and almost always about some secretary in a […]
