No Other Will Do – Giveaway

July 7, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

One month ago today, my newest book released, but because of my trip to Germany and my excitement over sharing some of that experience with you, I haven't had a chance to do my usual new release giveaway here on Inspired by Life and Fiction. Time to rectify that oversight. In No Other Will Do, my heroine Emma Chandler is a strong-minded female raised by spinster aunts to believe that women can … [Read more...]

Welcome Guest – Leanne Smith

June 29, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

  Don't you love when God creates a "chance" encounter that leads to something so much bigger? That's how I met Leanne. I came in late to a general session at a writing conference a couple years ago and saw a lovely lady sitting by herself at a table in the back of the room.

The Husband Maneuver

May 19, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

Earlier this month, my Dead-Eye Dan novella, The Husband Maneuver, released as an e-single. I've written four novellas to date (one yet to be released), and I think Dan and Marietta's story is my favorite. I just had far too much fun writing the dime novel scenes. For those of you who might not have read A Worthy Pursuit, the novel that introduced Dan and Marietta as secondary characters, … [Read more...]
