Ah, food. One of my favorite subjects. If you follow me on Pinterest, you’ll get a taste for just how much I love food in all its forms. Cooking, baking, eating, sharing, and even reading about it. It’s our fuel for life. We fuel our bodies, our spirits, and our relationships over food. Today, I’d […]
When the Book Won’t Write #giveaway
Confession: I’ve been pedaling as fast as I can on a stationary bike for a long time now. Barely keeping my head above water with a multitude of life tasks, a family health scare, and raising a teenage boy. Last spring, our son went to Junior prom with his lovely girlfriend, which means this year, […]
National Resurrect Romance Week
Did you know the second week in August is National Resurrect Romance Week? I like to look for quirky holidays to blog about. When I found this one, I knew it was perfect for a blog that features romance books. Why the second week in August? The answer: It is six months after Valentine’s Day. […]
Inspy Romance Across the USA + #giveaway
According to AAA, they estimate four out of ten Americans will travel for a family vacation this summer. Although we don’t have a specific vacation this year as opposed to our Branson destination last year, we’ve certainly added miles on our vehicles visiting family and enjoying summer outings.

When Life is Normal + a #Giveaway
Not every day can be an adventure. We don’t often get to live the fairy tale Sunday through Saturday, daily getting swept off our feet by Prince Charming.

Along the Texas Coast & A Book Giveaway
Hola! Jolene Navarro checking in from the beautiful Texas Hill Country. My writing view today. I was in San Antonio, so I stopped off at Panera to get some writing time. I love it when a writer submerges the reader into a new world and you get to experience it from the character’s viewpoint. […]
True Matchmaking Stories Plus Excerpt
When I have a release to promote, the number one request I receive from bloggers is to share what true event, if any, inspired the book. Last month I shared that after a bout of bronchitis/sinus infection (which didn’t leave and got worse!) the praise was I revised the first novella I wrote after becoming […]
Writing the Seasons
I am an Army brat. That means, that every few years, my father would get new orders and he would change duty stations. My situation was a bit unusual, because his orders went to Fort Lewis, Washington, to Korea, then back to Fort Lewis. Consequently, we were there for 5 full years – which is […]

In less than a month, my next book releases! EEE!!! Now is when all the nerves and excitement really start kicking in! Putting the final touches on edits and cover and marketing plans–it’s a whirlwind! I’ve started back to work full time this past year, and this is my first book release since then. I’ll […]
