I can’t even believe I’m going to confess this here, of all places, but … deep breath: I find attending weddings a little bit tedious. It’s okay if you feel the need to throw rotten tomatoes at me—I know that’s not something a romance author should admit. But hear me out: I adore watching two […]
In Black and White (and #giveaway)
I LOVE weddings! And we got to spend Saturday, March 14th at an unusual one located at a beautiful venue just north of Cape Town overlooking vineyards. My great nephew married the love of his life. Everything at their wedding was black and white—from the flowers to the candles to the guests’ attire. Even […]
The Power of the Epilogue
Happy February! How is 2020 going so far? I can’t complain. We’ve had pretty mild weather for Ohio, and found our routine after Christmas. Now it’s time to see what God has in store for the “love month.” Speaking of love… When Entrusted first released, a reader expressed her disappointment that there wasn’t a wedding […]
Planning a Wedding
One of the things I find most fun when writing Christian romance is planning a beautiful wedding at the end of a book. Of the five books out so far in my Abundance series, three of them end in weddings, including the most recent books I’ve written, Love and Roses and Love, Lies, and Homemade […]
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Well, not MY big, fat, Greek wedding, but the first Greek wedding I’ve attended… That happened on Saturday when the daughter of my husband’s cousin got married. It was fun, fun, fun! Today, I want to tell you all about it. The morning started off with a frantic dash to town for hubby and me. […]
Being Late Led Me To My Future Husband + #giveaway
I can’t believe it, but on this day 22 years ago, I was upstairs in our church loft, wedding gown on, ready to walk down the aisle, watching guests arrive and park across the street as I peeked out the small window. Organized to a fault, I’d padded the schedule to make sure nothing, no-thing, […]
Much Ado About…
… a lot. The life of this author has been BUSY and not with writing. LOL In case you didn’t notice, I’ve been absent for the last few months. I knew the summer would be BUSY, and I wouldn’t have the time to think, much less write blogs of any substance. <<< This happened. That’s […]
Happy Ever After starts with a Wedding
Jolene Navarro here. Checking in from the Texas Hill Country and a season of weddings. As a romance writer, I LOVE weddings. From the big to the small, from the simple to the lavish and everything in between. I look to see how the details (wedding to grooms cake) speaks to the personalities of the bride and […]
STILL LAUGHING (plus a giveaway!)
I met my husband as a joke. AND it was a blind date. No kidding. I was hanging out with a mutual friend of ours one day when she made an outrageous claim. “I’ve got a perfect track record,” she said. “Everyone I’ve ever set up on a date ended up getting married.” Everyone. So […]
