As I mentioned in earlier blog posts, 2019 is going to be a big PIVOT year for me and I couldn’t be any more excited. The last two years I’ve felt rather like I’ve been hiding under my bed, afraid to stick my head out and see what is happening in the world. Chicken Little […]
Once Upon A Laugh – 8 Novellas, 1 (wildly) Wonderful Sample!
It’s here!! Book releases are SO much fun… all the hours and hours and hours (and hours)… (and more hours…) of endless writing, sleepless nights, wrestling with characters, editing until your eyes feel like they will shrivel up and die, all culminate into fruition because it’s done. Book is out there for people to love, […]
Romantic Comedy: Is it all just a bunch of fluff?
Hello. My name is Krista Phillips, and I write non-fluffy romantic comedy. I know… what? There IS such a thing? How can that possibly be? For those who may not know it exists, I thought I’d enlighten you today! I like to say I write filled-cupcake fiction. Fluffy (fun) on the outside, but when you […]
Schedules! Who Needs ‘Em?
It’s been a little while since I’ve had a new release. More than a little while, actually. At least by my calendar. That’s okay, though. God has been active in my life, and I’ve been walking in faith and obedience…even with my schedule. Letting go of my highly defined calendar is hard for me. I […]
The Engagement Plot – The making of and an excerpt
Y’all. This is the week. The Engagement Plot officially releases on Wednesday, November 1st. Of course, Amazon started mailing books over a week ago and even published the ebook a little early, but no matter. Wednesday is still my day of celebrating since that’s when all the other retailers will release it. (Feel free to […]

Nowhere for Christmas and a #Giveaway
Nowhere for Christmas was originally published in 2013. It was a good year. My debut novel was published that year, as were two novellas, two additional novels, and a short story. The thing is, I didn’t know a lot about writing yet. Or publishing. So none of those books/stories published that year were written in […]
Life begins at Sixty
Happy New Year, Inspy readers. I’ve a confession to make. I had completed writing my blog for Inspy today and was about to upload it when I decided to blog about something else instead. If you want to read the blog I would have posted, I’m using it at International Christian Fiction Writers on […]
Nowhere for #Christmas, Blessings, and a #Giveaway
Back on October 26th, JoAnn Durgin blogged about the Christmas Blessings box set and told you a bit about each story and included each author’s personal inspiration for what they wrote. JoAnn only had so much room to spare in her post, though, so I had to give her the short answer. Today’s post is […]
Ten Books I Wish Were Made Into Movies
Heidi here, dreaming out loud of my favorite page-turners gracing the silver screen. In case you aren’t aware (or you are ignoring pop culture completely) it’s awards season. Also known as the time of year when I skim the headlines or catch a few snippets of the morning news and variety shows and wonder, “Who […]
