Since finding books online is very important right now, I thought I’d do a roundup of reader tools that help keep books in eager hands. You might know about some of these, but maybe there are some you don’t know about. I’m using each tool in conjunction with one of our Inspy Authors, so here […]
The Eyes Have It # Giveaway
When I try to imagine a handsome man, I come up with dark hair and green eyes every time. Like my husband and almost every other man I’ve thought was attractive. Blue eyes will do in a pinch, but only with brunette hair. I love the combo of inky brows and light eyes. I also […]
The Truth about Lamp Lighting
by: Staci Stallings The Bible says that God’s Word is a lamp at my feet. My dad always said that God put the lamp at our feet and not on our head. That means we’re supposed to focus on the next step, not how we’re getting all the way down the tunnel. I’ve thought about […]
Nothing Like a Challenge
by: Staci Stallings Okay, so you might not know this as a reader. It’s one of those first obstacles most writers have. It goes something like this: “There’s this song I want to use in my book. It’s a really popular song, and it will fit really well with this story. So, what do I […]
Creativity on Demand
By: Staci Stallings Creativity is an odd animal. It has to be constantly fed, but there is no routine to its needed diet. You cannot coddle it nor coax it. It will come out and play when it’s ready and not a second before that. Forcing it to do anything will result in it immediately […]

When Do You Find the Time?
by: Staci Stallings By far the biggest question I get from my writer friends is: “When do you find the time?” While right now there are a lot of novellas being released which usually run around 20,000 to 40,000 words, my books tend to be…. uhm, longer, to say the least. The one I’m working on right now […]
With Fear and Trembling
by: Staci Stallings One of the dangers of writing outside the box, not following the formula, and going where God leads is that you get into situations that make you really question the wisdom of doing any of that. You see, as an indie writer, I love the freedom of being able to write the […]
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 […]

Thank you all for journeying with me as my family and I moved to the beautiful Texas Hill Country. After practically camping in our new house for nine days, a wonderful group of […]
