“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) I believe that. Truly I do. But I have a confession to make. *looks around to see who else is listening* *whispers* I […]
Sweet Serenade Snippet
Sweet Serenade, which released in June as part of Splash! is now available as a solo novella here. Here’s how it starts! * * * “Please tell me today was better than the rest of your week.” That might require lying. Carly Thorbergsen rolled her shoulders and shook her head at her cousin. “No wonder […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to the Sunday Edition! It’s Valerie here today. Most of Inspy Romance’s author and readers celebrated their nations’ birthdays this week. Yep, that apostrophe is in the right place!

Meet Pete and Mia from His Perfect Catch

“Never work with children or animals” – meet Alistair from More than Friends
“Never work with children or animals.” That’s what W. C. Fields said, and I always thought he was right. About the children, anyway. For most of my life, I’ve done pretty well avoiding both. I specialise in sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy. No kids there. I work helping adults recover from injuries, surgery, and broken bones. I like […]
Warm fuzzies
There’s something about the summertime that brings me right back to warm fuzzy things, like a first crush. One night some years ago I was working on some online research for a future project. I was clicking through an employee newsletter for an organization related to a new proposal. Gotta get that research right, you […]
Falling in Love … Again, and Again
Do you want to know a secret? Yes? Come closer so I can whisper in your ear. I fall in love…often. With different men. Shocked? Don’t be. I promise my husband knows about every one of them, and he’s not threatened by my love interests. Why? Because they aren’t real and because I have to love […]

I’ve always been an avid reader of series books, especially in the romance genre. Before Amazon […]
Heroes: A, B, C, or D?
We’ve all heard of the Type A personality, right? The competitive somewhat aggressive go-getter who knows what he wants and makes it happen, one way or another. The Alpha Male. Yep, I used “he” because this post is about romance heroes, not heroines, although women can certainly be just as driven as men. The Type […]
Finding God’s path
Sometimes in our lives we hit these places where God has so much more He wants to give us, if only we’d let go of clinging to our own plans and let Him! I needed to make a decision last week. Probably not a huge decision, but you know how sometimes things can feel so much bigger […]
