Secrets…

December 8, 2021 by Valerie Comer

There are little secrets, like not letting on that you were the one who ate the last cupcake — oops — and there are big secrets. Things that would change the perception of everyone around about you. “Is she a good person?” “Well, she once did this, so… not really.” Hailey North waltzed into the […]

Perfectionist Pressure

October 5, 2021 by Valerie Comer

**Taps microphone Hello? Is there anyone else like me out there? Probably not. Aren’t we all unique? One of a kind? Yes… but with many traits in common. My Urban Farm Fresh Romance series was visualized as a twelve-book series (gulp) from the start. The first story, Secrets of Sunbeams, released in a multi-author box […]

Do Opposites Really Attract?

April 9, 2021 by Valerie Comer

do opposites really attract?

We believe that opposites attract, right? How many romance novels can you name that prove it to be true? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here sorting my writings… Because ‘opposites attract’ is a time-honored trope right up there with ‘second chances’ and ‘friends to more,’ and I’ve written my share of them, with […]

Living the Dream with Ava Santoro

March 11, 2021 by Valerie Comer

Every little girl has dreams. Some of them can see their futures clearly. What they will choose for a career. Where they will travel. Whom they will marry. The names of their [insert number here] children. They can see the white picket fence or the New York City skyline or the mountaintop where they will […]

Love After Fifty

December 15, 2020 by Valerie Comer

All you twenty- and thirty-somethings, let me assure you that life and love aren’t over at forty. Or fifty. Or, ahem, sixty… A while back, it occurred to me that possibly readers might think I believed romance is only for the young, since all my stories featured heroes and heroines in their 20s with a […]

Mmm… ’Tis Cranberry Season! #recipe #giveaway

November 14, 2020 by Valerie Comer

Are you a fan of cooking with cranberries? I wasn’t, until the last few years. Oh, I’d make cranberry sauce for the family with Thanksgiving and Christmas’s turkey dinner because they thought it should be on the table, but then I’d usually scrape most of in the trash. We know that cranberries are superfoods, right? […]

Do You Belong?

July 6, 2020 by Valerie Comer

Belonging is a recurring theme in my 35+ stories. I could point to one after the other and explain to you why the hero or heroine feels like an outsider in their own life. In some cases, that theme is fairly hidden. In others, it’s super obvious. Take Kenna Johnson in Lavished with Lavender, which […]

June 8, 2020 by Valerie Comer

Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome Tony Santoro to Inspy Romance! I’ve known Tony for a long time, since about 2011 in Real World Time™, which is about twelve years ago in Story World Time ™.

The Heart of Community

February 7, 2020 by Valerie Comer

Ask my readers what makes my novels special, and many of them will say, “community.” The term comes up in reviews often enough that I’ve added it to my tagline: Engaging characters. Strong communities. Deep faith. Sweet romance. I’m currently writing within my fifth and sixth series, and I can definitely see the underpinnings of […]
