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 […]
What’s Your Superpower?
by: Staci Stallings I’m elbow-deep in The Imagination Series—writing Book 8 now. Book 7 is on preorder. Book 6 just released. So I’ve been thinking a lot about superpowers. In the series, there are six main-ish characters. They are friends from high school. Each one has a superpower, and the idea of the series is […]
I Believe
By: Staci Stallings After watching a motivational speech the other day about purpose and what you believe and how that impacts your work and how that influences your life, I got to thinking about my writing. What do I believe about people, about life, about love, about faith, about hope…? And on and on. What […]
Racing Through Life
by: Staci Stallings I saw a post the other day on Facebook that said, “Only 45 more weeks until Christmas Day!” For the average person, they would probably laugh that off. For me, it literally caused a zing of anxiety to zap through my body. I’ve told you here about my son’s Christmas light show, […]
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 […]
Imagination
by: Staci Stallings Sometimes living in my imagination is difficult. Maybe that’s because I have what people call a “vivid imagination.” Do you know what that means, to have a vivid imagination? For me, it means that what I “experience” in my head is often as real or more real to me than things that […]
Reader Take Over Day, Hosted by Staci Stallings
Okay, InspyPeeps, They gave me the keyboard today (not a smart idea if you ask me but we’re not going to tell THEM that!), and I’ve been thinking about this since my last post over here. One of the things you guys said in the comments several times was: “I love learning about authors and […]
Thoughts on “The Price of Silence”
by: Staci Stallings “The Price of Silence” was the third novel I wrote, and with this one, I struck out in the direction of YA, or young adult, though I didn’t know what that was at the time. Still trying to marry my love of romance with how to write inspirational and not become completely […]
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 […]
This is Why I Write, Behind the Story: If You Believed in Love
by: Staci Stallings Every so often, my husband takes my three kids either camping or snow skiing. Because I don’t enjoy either one, I get to stay home. On these “by myself” vacations, I rent, buy, or dive into my stash of DVD’s. I get Chinese food for the whole weekend and only leave to […]
