Ah, fairy tales. Like so much classic literature, fairy tales form the basis for many contemporary stories. In recent years, retellings have even become so popular they’ve become their own subgenre in fiction. And it makes sense. The originals are clean and usually end happily. Good triumphs over evil. The impossible becomes possible. Romance. Magic. […]
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 […]
Modern-Day Good Fridays
by: Staci Stallings Sometimes timing becomes important. This is one of those times. Right now, as you read this Easter Sunday has passed, and we have entered fully into the Easter Season. By the time you get to Easter, it’s sometimes easy to forget about Good Friday. Good Friday, the day Jesus hung on the […]
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 […]

First Impressions: And the Greatest of These is Love
by: Staci Stallings One of the things I think is strange about my writing life is how clear certain scenes are when they come out of me and how those scenes never really leave my memory. Each book seems to have a few of these, and often, years after the book is finished and I’ve […]
Mirror Mirror, From the Story
Author’s Note: There are some scenes that just stay with you forever. This is one of my favorites. Enjoy… It seemed the height of insanity to be out here on a vacant field celebrating when he hadn’t heard from her in 48 hours. Why did everyone else seem to think it should be so easy […]
Some Say Love, Book Excerpt
by: Staci Stallings From the newly-released Finale of the Hope Series… How she would ever say good-bye to Scott and Lane again, Jenna had no earthly idea. As she walked to the gate, tucked under Scott’s arm, holding Lane’s hand with her other, she let the thought of what the coming minutes would bring into […]
Counting Blessings
by: Staci Stallings Sometimes life is designed to make you remember what is really important and how easily our “blessing counter” can get skewed. So for about 3 months now, I have been “counting down” so to speak for November. November 1, “A Time to Love” would release and “Some Say Love” would go on […]
