Award Season (and a Giveaway!)

July 5, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

Applause. It's not the reason we write, but I have to admit, it can certainly uplift a weary spirit and invigorate a flagging confidence.

When Characters Are More Than Fiction

June 21, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

God moves in mysterious ways. Chance meetings become blessings that not even an experienced author could dream into existence. In December 2016, I was already several months into the writing of More Than Meets the Eye when a speaking opportunity took me to Lubbock, TX.

The Love Knot

May 3, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

It's release week!!! The final story in the Ladies of Harper's Station series is now available as an e-single. This story is not new. It released back in January as part of the Heart's Entwined novella collection, but it's been given a makeover with a new cover and a low price point for the stand alone e-version. Claire and Pieter's story is a special one to me because it is the fulfillment … [Read more...]
