Creating Characters and Audiobook Giveaway

February 28, 2019 By Cara Putman

I'm about halfway through the creation of my next book. It's still the rough draft, really rough, but last night I was working on the cover and marketing information form. It's a little surreal to complete details about important scenes and the characters. I've known what Savannah, the heroine, has looked like since Beyond Justice, but now that she has her own book, I've had to dig deep. She … [Read more...]

Soul Care and a Free Ebook

February 14, 2019 By Cara Putman

I'm not very good at slowing down. I tend to push forward through exhaustion, writer's block, life obstacles. I'm a pretty determined person, so it's easy to just keep moving. This last weekend, I stepped out of life for 24 hours and spent it with two of my heart sisters. These are women who were my neighbors...and then they moved away. For at least seven years we talked about trying to connect … [Read more...]

Wear the Truth

I wear them … [Read more...]

It’s New Book Time & Giveaway

January 10, 2019 By Cara Putman

It's a new year, and that means I've started writing a new book. Along with new books comes all kinds of plot layers that have to be created. Even when I've thought deeply about the plot and the characters, I still find all the details I need to add as I start writing. For example, this week I've had to find places for Savannah, the heroine, and Jett, the hero, to live. I've had to name … [Read more...]

My Word 2019

December 27, 2018 By Cara Putman

January 1st is around the corner, and that means I've been praying about my word for 2019. I first started doing this probably 10-12 years ago. It's become a way to set a theme for the year about what I think God wants to teach me. Some of the words have been exciting. Others not so much. Some have been easy. Others quite hard. Some I immediately sensed what God wanted to tell me. Still others … [Read more...]
