Hidden Gems

March 13, 2024 by Jaycee Weaver

Have you ever read a book and scratched your head at a familiar reference you couldn’t quite place? You’ve read it somewhere before, maybe in another work from that author. Perhaps what you’ve stumbled over is an author’s hidden gem, otherwise known as a nod, a wink, or an easter egg (I’m not capitalizing here […]

Starting in the Middle

January 26, 2024 by Merrillee Whren

There is a writing book called Write Your Novel from the Middle by James Scott Bell. I confess I have not read it, but I do wonder how that works. I’m what they call a “pantser.” I write by the seat of my pants. I have characters and an inciting incident to start my books. […]

October 10, 2023 by Angela Ruth Strong

  Now that Hero Debut has released, I’m editing book three in the Love Off Script Series. And Fiancé Finale just might be my fave! If you’ve read Husband Auditions, you met Charlie. You may or may not remember that on the night before his ex was supposed to wed another man, he randomly prays, […]

Choices

March 29, 2023 by Merrillee Whren

Throughout our lives we have to make choices. The choices we make may determine a good or bad outcome in our lives. As an author, I get to make choices for my characters, in their back stories and in their present circumstances. Some of my characters have made bad choices in the past, and now […]

Not a Honeymoon

December 16, 2022 by Amy R Anguish

It was supposed to be a honeymoon … a cruise. If only Nathan hadn’t called off the wedding a month before. If only Bree hadn’t given in to their friends who convinced her to use the tickets for the nonrefundable honeymoon anyway. If only Nathan hadn’t done the same, not realizing he was being set […]

Mixed Emotions of Reading (& Writing) a Series + Pre-Order

Last week, I revealed the cover of the fourth and final novel in my Laurel Cove Romance (LCR) Series. I’ll tell you more about that in a bit, but I’m as my series draws to a close, I’m dealing with a mixed bag of emotions. Since 2014, when I began to write Someplace Familiar, my […]

You Had Me at Sequel

October 9, 2021 by Angela Ruth Strong

Husband Auditions came out in August, and readers are asking for a sequel. I thought maybe I could satisfy their appetites by writing a short story based on beloved roommate, Gemma. (To read her romance in this month’s edition of Spark Magazine, Falling in Love, click here.) But then my editor asked me to pitch […]

Revisiting Characters

March 2, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

  A Texas Bond, book three in my Texas Hill Country series, officially released last week. It was inspired partly by my husband and I dabbling in flea marketing after shopping them for years. The picture I included is the booth we had full of items we created or repurposed. It was fun fitting our […]
