In an Inn by the Sea

April 30, 2022 by Laurie Larsen

Nearly ten years ago, I was considering my first series of inspy romance and an idea was born.  Book 1 would feature Leslie, a fifty-something teacher facing an empty summer.  Her husband had just filed divorce papers.  The house that had been her family’s haven for fifteen years was going up on the market.  Her […]

A Fresh New Look

March 25, 2021 by Laurie Larsen

Styles change over time.  I remember when I was a little girl I had a white brocade cotton dress trimmed in yellow.  I loved it.  I wore it to church almost every Sunday.  But soon I wanted to wear it on other days too.  I imagine I pulled it out of my closet every school […]

I Walk the Beach

November 4, 2019 by Laurie Larsen

  “I listen again to the whispering waves, Music of nature calming and brave. Its power unknown, its stillness untamed, Mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.” Excerpt from poem Whispering Waves by Edel T. Copeland Where is your happy place?  The place you feel the most peaceful, the place you dream to be when […]

A Dog’s Love (+ a Giveaway)

September 16, 2019 by Laurie Larsen

  Do you love dogs?  I know there are cat lovers out there too, but in my experience there’s really nothing that quite compares with the love of a dog! As I was growing up, my family had several dogs.  My parents got Goldie when I was a baby so she and I grew up […]

Setting as Character

August 13, 2019 by Laurie Larsen

My very first inspirational romance was Preacher Man, published in 2009.  I’d written books before, but this was the first time I recognized the nudge from God that I should be writing love stories that give all the glory to Him!  It was a story about a newly divorced mom of a teenaged son, maneuvering […]

Is a Wedding the End of the Romance? (+ a Giveaway)

May 15, 2019 by Laurie Larsen

In a romance novel, you can always count on a Happily Ever After (HEA) ending.  It’s one of the things I love most about the genre.  No matter how much difficulty and heartache a couple goes through, they always end up with either a reconciliation, an engagement or a wedding.  That’s what constitutes a HEA, […]
