Hello out there in InspyRomance land! How are y’all today?
I’m filling in for Deb Kastner today. Her husband has been in the hospital for the last little bit – so if you could keep them in your prayers, that would be fantastic.
So instead of a “regular post”, the admins (that’s me, Valerie Comer, Elizabeth Maddrey, Ginger Solomon, and Heather Gray) decided we wanted to hear from you!
As part of that, we’re doing a giveaway! From today’s comments only, one winner will receive a $10 Amazon gift card. Just answer one (or more!) of the questions below:
- How did you first hear about InspyRomance? How long have you been visiting with us?
- Have you read a book by an InspyRomance author recently that you particularly enjoyed? What book?
- Is there an InspyRomance book coming out soon that you’re especially looking forward to? Which one?
Without y’all, we wouldn’t be here! We appreciate you each and every day! Thanks for stopping by!
When she's not writing about her imaginary friends, Carol Moncado is hanging out with her husband and four kids in the big yard of their southwest Missouri home, teaching American Government at a community college, reading, or watching NCIS. She's a member of ACFW and RWA, President and founding member for the MozArks ACFW group, and a category coordinator for ACFW's First Impressions.
Praying for Deb’s husband and her family. Thanks for covering, Carol. I’ll look forward to reading the comments.
Love your books,Praying for Debs husband,thanks fora chance to win
Found InspyRomance through Ginger Solomon’s website, I was searching to find out when the next in the Belikarian series was coming out and saw the link to Inspy- the rest is history:) The most recent Inspy author reads have been Ginger Solomon’s Love’s Choice, your Grace to Save and Discovering Home (loved Jonathan’s story). Honestly, there are too many good books coming out soon to mention all of them…all I can say is keep writing:)
Thank you Carol, Valerie, Elizabeth, Ginger, and Heather for being administrators of this wonder website and coordinating the daily blogs.
I first became aware of the Inspy Romance website in the fall of 2014, after reading Valerie Comer’s Raspberry and Vinegar (A Farm Fresh Romance Book 1) which was included in a boxed set. Living in SW Michigan a agricultural community, I related with the message of Valerie’s books, signed up for her newsletter, and discovered the Inspy Romance website and signed up for the daily email. Since then I have enjoyed reading the inspirational romances of the diverse mix of authors. As a German American, I am drawn to the international romances and the authors.
I especially enjoy diversity style, setting, plot, characters in the inspirational romances of boxed sets. Such a bargain, when pre-ordered for the reader on a fixed income. Thank you to the generosity of the authors, who give not only of their talent by writing great stories, but their loving hearts and spirits. Enjoyed reading the novellas in Falling For You and An Aussie Summer Christmas. Looking forward to reading the 17 romances in Sweet Christmas Kisses 3. Blessings to all the Inspy Romance Authors.
I found Inspy Romance after doing an online search for Christian authors. I had stopped reading much when my kids were at home, then when I went back to it, found that what passed for any kind of book had greatly changed and I couldn’t read any of them (the language, casual sex-it had been years since I last bought a book). In doing my search I found this site and several of your authors who had links to this page, one of them being JoAnn Durgin. I happily read the Lewis Legacy, then started reading books from the list of authors. Praying for Deb’s husband. Thanks for having this site, I love reading what’s going on with the different authors.
I found the InspyRomance website after reading Moonbeams and Awakening from JoAnn Durgin and following her on FB. She posted about the blog and I’ve been following ever since (around March 2015). It is a great source to hear about new authors (I’ve read many books so for from a lot of new authors that either blog here constantly or that were introduced by some of the authors here).
Recently I’ve been reading a lot of books from authors here and I particularly enjoyed (just to name the latest one I can remember): Whispers of Love (boxed set with amazing books from many of the authors here), A marriage of convenience (D. L Collins), Love Expected (A. Macarthur), Calm and Bright (A. Macarthur), Whisper to my Heart (J. Durgin), … and I also just started Candy Cane Kisses boxed set which I know authors from this blog contributed to. The books I’m looking forward to hear have mostly come out by now or I don’t have many names memorized…
I can’t remember exactly when I started reading this blog. I believe it was in 2014 through Valerie Comer.
Some of the Inspy authors are my go to reads, like Valerie, Carol, JoAnn , Kimberly,Marion and Lee
I try to read more but not enough hours in a day.
You all do a good job and I am blessed to know a lot of you.
Found the site via a link from your (Carol’s) FB page, and discovered the online home of some of my new favourite authors! I’ve discovered more of the InspyRomance authors through box sets (love those – please keep ’em coming!), and, having just had some time to dive into my TBR pile, would chalk up Whispers of Love & Grace to Save as books/collections that I’ve recently enjoyed.
I forget how I found inspyromance, but am thankful I did. I was having a hard time finding clean wholesome novels, until I found you. I won a contest at one point and have a pink inspyromance mug that I frequently use for my morning cup of tea☺. I quickly devour the new novels as they come out. I appreciate the preorder sales. I just received Candy Cane Kisses but haven’t read it yet. I know I enjoyed Butterfly Breezes as well as Discovering Home. Probably others but I don’t remember all the titles. I look forward to all the new stories. You’ll be glad to know I’ve recently been figuring out how to leave reviews! Thanks for all your work writing! Lord bless Deb and her husband, praying for them.
Honestly, I have no idea how I found inspyromance! Maybe through a contest? But I’m glad I did!
First heard about Inspy from JoAnn Durgin’s posts. Been visiting a couple of days.
Hi Carol,
I got connected to Inspy through your Facebook post, or blog….I’m not sure. It’s been a few years now and I LOVE getting to learn about many different authors. I have been fortunate to chat with JoAnn on Facebook and we have a fun connection. I’ve also gotten to meet and have coffee with Kimberly which was a real treat. (We live close to each other.) I’ve gotten connected by Facebook with most of the authors in this group and I find I love ALL your books!
I want to THANK ALL of you for using the gift our amazing God has given you! It is us readers who are blessed!
I don’t remember how I first heard of this great group of authors! It might have been Facebook… Anyway, I just spent way too much time reading “Falling for You.” Probably my most favorite recent read was “Discovering Home”! I’m eagerly awaiting Val Comer’s next Urban Farm Fresh Romance. And I’ve got a long list of books I’d spend that $10 Amazon card on if I win it :-) I’ve had to discipline myself NOT to buy more books until I read more that I’ve already got.
I learned about it through FaceBook!
JoAnn Durgin invited me, and I’ve been around since day one.
Blessings,
Andrea

I learned about Inspy from one of you wonderful authors. I’ve read books by several of the authors here and really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us!
I either heard about the blog because of Carol or Valerie, both of whom I think I found through Amazon. Not sure how long I’ve been following, but this is the blog I read most regularly of the ones I follow.
Recently, I really enjoyed the Whispers of Love set which I know covers a bunch of you guys. =)
Thank you to all you for all your work! I love this blog and love reading your stories!
I also found Inspy through Valerie. I love her her down on the farm books.
Not sure how and when I found Inspy romance site but I believe it was towards the beginning of the website and blogs.
I recently read Second Chance Christmas by our own Merrillee Whren and really enjoyed it. It is in the Sweet Christmas Kisses box set that released today.
Probably through Facebook or an email. I’m connected to many book sites and on several street teams so I get info various ways.
I’d appreciate any prayers for my FIL. He’s in ICU and scheduled for a risky procedure tomorrow. Thank you.

I’ve found the Inspy romance site about a year and a half ago at least. I read about it in one of JoAnn Durgin’s facebook posts.
Recently, I read JoAnn’s Whisper to my Heart. It was so wonderful I could hardly put it down! I’m looking forward to getting Valerie Comer’s Butterflies on Breezes next!
This is a collective THANK YOU to all of you who responded to the post today. We are thankful you found Inspy Romance no matter how you found us! :) We treasure each and every one of our readers. Blessings, and we’ll keep writing contemporary Christian romance and hope you’ll continue to read our work! :)
I first heard about InspyRomance from Narelle Atkins. I’ve been following your blog for several months now. I always enjoy books from Carolyne Aarsen, have read some from a handful of other authors here. Looking forward to more Love Inspired books!
Praying for your father-in-law, Gail! May the Lord be with the surgeons/doctors and give peace and comfort to the family.
I just finished reading Prince From Her Past and thought it was great!
Hey all!!! I meant to get by yesterday and respond individually but it ended up being a crazy day!!!
Thank you so much!!! We love hearing from all of you!!! YOU are why we’re here! We appreciate you all!! And I know there’s some IR books coming up that I need to check out too :D.
Be sure to check Sunday’s post to see which one of you is the lucky winner!! ;)
Seaside Christmas by Narelle Atkins!
So fun to read all the responses. Sorry I wasn’t around yesterday, but my son had day surgery on Tuesday and I have been on grandkid duty ever since. Gearing up for another day with the child now. We never stop being parents. :)
I am glad to answer your questions. I have been reading this blog for about 3 years. I found it through reading one of Jo Ann Durgin’s books about the royal families. I love reading the messages from different authors and have found many new authors to read. I love these books so much that I will read them again. This is my way to escape the here and now. I love trying out the multiple sets to try new authors. I am one of those people who had to learn how to read ebooks. I have owned in the past over 5000 books of all kinds but when I true committed my life to Christ I found I owed books I could no longer read. I decided to try ebooks and see if I could find christian authors without buying paper books. It has been an adventure and I have read many wonderful book. But I realized that if I find a book I truly love and want to share then I need to buy the paperback. It is not as easy to share an ebook partly because I am so not tech savvy. I can tell you that I have read at least one by every author with this blog in ebook or paper and have never been disappointed. I want to thank all of you for doing what you do. It is entertainment but it is more than that. There is a message in your books that just makes one go searching more for God and His direction and that is a blessing. We all do not like the same story-line and that is fine because there is something for everyone. I just wanted all of you to know you have enriched my life and I thank you. Have a blessed day. I will pray for Deb’s husband.
I found out about the blog via a giveaway, and have been following since the beginning of the year.
I have read and enjoyed books from many of the authors here, but the latest would be Homestands by Sally Bradley. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.
I found the website through Valerie!Love her books
I first heard about the blog through Krista Phillips’s blog when she first joined as Inspy was getting started. The best book I’ve read recently was Sally Bradley’s Kept.
