I invite Lucie Ulrich for a guest post whenever she has a new book out. She’s one of my favorite people, and I enjoy her writing, too, so it makes sense. Her latest release snuck by me somehow, though, and I only recently realized I’d missed it. How on earth did that happen!? I have […]
Thanksgiving Reflections and a #Giveaway
I hope those of you in the United States had a blessed Thanksgiving! I’ve been thinking a lot about the many things I’m thankful for this month, and I hope you all don’t mind if I share some of those with you. ~ Both of our kids were sick last weekend. It was a huge […]
Counseling My Characters + #Giveaway
Once upon a time before I was an author, I was a therapist. Through answered prayers and open doors, God gave me the chance to earn a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I was about a third of the way through my licensing hours when God led me to the next adventure in […]
It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas…
… with all the Christmas music playing and Christmas decorations displayed in the stores. The reminders to post our overseas Christmas cards and gifts early (oops- I already missed the economy mail deadline for Australia – that’s gonna cost me!). And also, all the Christmas romance boxed sets launching! I love Christmas, though as I’m […]
Friday Five + #Giveaway
I must admit that it’s been one of those weeks where I’ve woken up not knowing what day it is. Life has gotten busy with my kids back in school and me trying to invest as much of my brain energy into meeting deadlines before the year ends. Add to this the other dozen things […]
Second Chance for Secondary Characters Plus Giveaway
When you spend a lot of time with someone, you get attached to that person, don’t you? Well, as an author, I spend a lot of time with my characters. I get to know them, I sympathize with their hurts and rejoice when they find their happily-ever-after. Even after I type “The End,” it’s difficult […]
The Impact of a Good Kiss + An Excerpt + #Giveaway
I love most everything about being a romance author, especially the research I get to do. This so-called research ranges from studying photos of a couple holding hands (so I can better describe how their fingers intertwine) to watching rom-coms or reading romance books. When I do the latter, I get so much inspiration for […]
What’s Your Favorite Christian Romance Trope? Plus Giveaway
Once upon a time, I didn’t know what romance tropes meant. I just knew themes I loved writing about: friends to true love, woman in jeopardy, second chances, opposites attract. Then I heard about popular romance tropes and realized about my ignorance. In time, I added more tropes to my list, and some of them […]
New Book Covers and New Audio Giveaway! Janet W. Ferguson
I’m excited to show you the new covers I’m working on for the Southern Hearts Series. We’re halfway there! These are the last two books in the series (I started backwards, ha!), the first two will be remade in the fall as I’m waiting for the cotton fields to produce their beautiful white bolls. I […]
Real-Life Romance: Angelina & Dale PLUS #GIVEAWAY
As an observer of people, I enjoy hearing tales of real-life romance. I confess I still watch the royal headlines because I am rooting for both of Princess Diana’s boys and their marriages. Recently, I learned of a real-life romance closer to home that is one of the most beautiful arrangements of God’s hand I’ve […]
