Today, I’m welcoming my guest Amy R. Anguish. I recently had the pleasure of editing Amy’s book, Saving Grace. I love this story, love the characters, plus there’s humor and plenty of swoon worthy moments. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. I’ve been a friends to romance fan for years. Here’s Amy: […]

Between Books #Giveaway
Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
A Forever Type of Romance
“Marriage is hard. It takes work. When you say those vows, you’re making a promise to God to stick to it, even when it gets rough. And it will get rough, but you can get through it if you work together.” This is the advice I gave to all three of my children and their […]
Surprised to be Loved
It was at middle school church camp where I first really felt the love of Jesus. I went down for prayer after a sermon, and I was overcome by the feeling of love. When my dad asked me about it, all I could say was, “Jesus loves me.” That may sound as simple as a […]
How People Meet & a #Giveaway
I was talking with another author recently. We were brainstorming the start of a book, and she was stuck on how she could realistically take the hero and heroine from complete strangers to the point that they trusted each other enough to share some deeply personal secrets. I kept coming up with ways for the […]
When It Rains It Pours #Giveaway
Blessings that is. I knew book two of my Hill Country Cowboys series was releasing in mid June and my backlist title, Counting on the Cowboy was re-releasing in a western collection in mid May. But I didn’t know the collection would be in Walmart. I didn’t even look. But my husband did. It was […]
When Happily Ever After Seems Impossible
If you haven’t heard my big news, I found out this week that I’m cancer free!!! This may seem like it has nothing to do with contemporary Christian romance, but for me it makes a world of difference. I can now regain the energy needed to write more books, which is good since I’m supposed […]
10 Things To Love About Romance Novels
I fell in love with romance novels at an early age. I’d raid my mom’s bookshelves and read everything from Catherine Marshall’s Christy to The Legacy of Lilian Parker by Leslie Holden. The novels were magical and fun. I still remember some of the lines. In one Oregon Trail romance, the hero told the heroine, […]
4 Common Misconceptions About Romance Readers + #Giveaway
Who here’s a romance reader? I hope everyone raised their hand. :) Whether you are one or you know one (or many), I’m sure you have some expectations of what a typical romance reader is like. She likely has a TBR pile several miles high. She knows from first glance what TBR stands for (in […]
