Think Outside The Alpha – And a Giveaway!!

June 15, 2017 By Karen Witemeyer

I admit it. My favorite part about writing romance novels is having control over the hero. Making him look the way I want him to look (Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, and Alex O'Loughin are frequently consulted), giving him rugged swagger and the skills to back it up, and best of all, giving him an honorable core and a soft heart that only the heroine can uncover beneath his gruff exterior.

June 1, 2017 By Karen Witemeyer

Life is crazy. I'm sure that's not news to you. Your life is probably just as hectic as mine is, if not more so. Usually I don't really mind the crazies. They keep me from getting bored, after all.

Iron Sharpens Iron

May 4, 2017 By Karen Witemeyer

Both are equal in strength, yet instead of battling to prove which is greatest by attempting to subdue the other, they come together in a gentle manner, drawing close with a common purpose of edification. When swords clash in battle, they can become nicked, dull, or even broken. But when they are drawn together in humility … [Read more...]
