Writing Up a Storm

July 19, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd, revisions for my next biblical novel (tentatively titled Star of Wonder) landed in my inbox. Although the revisions weren’t extensive, the editors wanted a change in the opening part of the book that then had to be followed through the entire book.

What’s your reading style?

July 5, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Recently, I posted a question in a Facebook Group as well as on my Facebook Page. I thought it would be fun to get your answers too. The question:How do you like to consume the books you read? Print?

The Beauty of Forgiveness

June 7, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

My first book for the Christian market (my 31st published book) was The Forgiving Hour (1999). The lessons I’d learned about forgiveness—mostly the hard way—were poured into my characters in that story. I consider that novel, perhaps more than any other I’ve written, to be proof of Romans 8:28. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who … [Read more...]

National Idaho Day

May 17, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Idaho flag

Update: A winner's name was randomly drawn and she has been contacted. Back on February 1st of this year, Karen Witemeyer posted about National Texas Day. She thought, since all her books are set in Texas, that it would make a great post. And it did. I loved reading her list of fun facts. So I wondered if there was a National Idaho Day, especially since I set (almost) all my books in … [Read more...]
