• Fall for Fiction Sale! The Rogues Trilogy

    Did you know Swiss Miss makes a pumpkin spice hot chocolate mix and a peppermint hot chocolate mix? I am preferring the peppermint at the moment because it tastes like Christmas. My husband says it’s way too early to be talking like that, but just the same, a drink that tastes like Christmas makes me smile. All that to say … What better companion to a cup of hot chocolate than a book! And this week, my entire Rogues trilogy is on sale for only $.99 each on Kindle. All three will cost less than that peppermint hot chocolate mix (which was about $2 at Target). Now all you need…

  • Author Chat with Eva Marie Everson on Her New Release, The Third Path

    In 2020, I had the privilege of being part of Eva Marie Everson’s Labyrinth class at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writer’s Conference. In the class, she presented us with questions that God posed to characters in the Bible and challenged us to answer them ourselves. It was an incredibly rich class that I will never forget, and I’ve been waiting since then for her book on this topic to release. Two years later, The Third Path is in print, and it is a gem. I’m only part way through, mostly because my newborn likes to skip naps and I have new-mom exhaustion, but I look forward to savoring it…

  • Author Chat with Shannon Redmon on her New Release, Secrets Left Behind

    Our guest author this month is one of my new favorite writers, and I just had the pleasure of meeting her at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writer’s Conference. She is a fellow romantic suspense author, and her latest book, Secrets Left Behind, released a few weeks ago. Please join me in welcoming Shannon Redmon to the blog. Q: When did you first realize that you wanted to be a writer?

However, in 2015, my sweet husband said to me, “Why don’t you finish one…

  • Author Chat with Hannah C. Hall on Her New Devotional, Thirsty

    It’s barely spring in Florida, but already, our temperatures are climbing upwards of eighty and even ninety degrees some days. I’ve started craving ice pops and ice cream (even more than usual). Heat makes us thirsty for refreshment, doesn’t it? Regardless of the season, we should always be thirsty for time in God’s Word, which is exactly what Hannah C. Hall’s new devotional, Thirsty, encourages. Today, I hope you enjoy meeting Hannah and learning more about her heart for this book, which released April 5. Q: Your children’s books are best-sellers and some of my favorites to gift at baby showers. What prompted you to write a devotional for women?…
