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 […]
Book Themes and Therapy
Welcome to the Inspy Romance Back to School Book Bash season! I hope you’re as excited as we are. If you missed the post, you can visit it HERE. One of the highlights for me this year are listening to podcasts. This is a bit overwhelming to me, so right now I’ve tried ministries/pastors I […]
Whatever Happens Next (not just a book title) + giveaway
Well, it’s release day today for my fourth novel, Whatever Happens Next. Of the whole series, it’s easily my favorite. Not only because it’s my eighth book now, so I’ve learned more and write better. Nor is it the characters, who I absolutely love and were a joy to write. Those are part of why […]
Co-authoring a Series in Pressured Times
Back in October, I did a cover reveal on my post, Of Babes and Book Babies, for Accept Me (Chapel Cove Romances Book 8), which I had hoped to release in December. The busyness of a new grandbaby in the house and my son and his family’s move to Cape Town, put pay to my […]

What Happens After The End? + a #Giveaway
Have you ever gotten to the end of a book only to wish there was more? Sometimes, no matter how satisfying an ending is, the characters have become so important to you, that you don’t want their story to end. You want to know what is coming next for them, where life is taking them, […]
Racing Through Life
by: Staci Stallings I saw a post the other day on Facebook that said, “Only 45 more weeks until Christmas Day!” For the average person, they would probably laugh that off. For me, it literally caused a zing of anxiety to zap through my body. I’ve told you here about my son’s Christmas light show, […]
Guest Blogger, Ashley Winter ~ Love in South Africa #2bookgiveaway
Hi Inspyromancers… I trust you all had a wonderful Christmas. I did (although it wasn’t without its own share of drama!) I broke my diet, picked up two kilos, and am back on diet again. Can you believe it’s almost 2019? I can’t! Where did the year go? Oh yes, writing books. I’m so excited […]
