America, the Beautiful

October 14, 2024 By Deborah Raney

Ken and I are traveling for the month of October and discovered our campground for tonight in Vermont doesn't have phone service or wifi, so we drove into a little town in search of wifi and now I'm posting quickly before we need to get back to our campground. We never like to arrive after dark, so this will be quick! We left a week ago Sunday and in the 7 days we've been traveling, we have … [Read more...]

Cover Model Update!

October 11, 2024 By Becky Wade

It's been 10 years since my book Meant to Be Mine released. 10 Years! The hero of this book (Ty Porter) has lived on in the hearts of a lot of readers. Leigh Foster posed as Ty for the cover shoot. He was gracious to answer some interview questions for me back then (which you can find HERE) and just as graciously provided me with an update when I reached out to him recently to ask where life … [Read more...]

The Juggling World of Writers

October 10, 2024 By Cara Putman

This week is a classic example of the wonderful, juggling world of writers. If you've ever wondered what it takes to write, the best descriptor for me is high switching efficiency. In other words, the ability to switch between tasks easily or at least agilely. For example, a month ago, I decided to put two of my books on sale this month. Call it a welcome to fall sale. The first of the two … [Read more...]

Hurricane Relief for Dani

October 9, 2024 By Becky Wade

Today's Dani Pettrey's blogging day, but she'll be taking a break from posting for a while, so I'm here to give you an update on her. I met Dani in 2011. At the time we'd both traveled to Minnesota for a gathering with the team at Bethany House Publishers. We'd recently signed contracts with them for our first Christian fiction novels and later learned those debut books would be releasing on … [Read more...]

Book News & Second Chances

October 8, 2024 By Julie Klassen

I am both humbled and gratified to announce the upcoming release of a revised and updated Tenth Anniversary Edition of the novel, Lady Maybe. This is a novel that caused a bit of controversy and earned negative reviews from some readers while others (still) claim it as their favorite novel. It’s hard to believe it will soon be ten years since the book’s original release. Though in some ways, … [Read more...]

Happy October!

October 7, 2024 By Angela Hunt

October may mean fall color and falling leaves for some, but for me it will always mean the end of the long, hot summer--and the busiest time of hurricane season. As I'm typing this, it's been two days since Hurricane Helene roared up from the Gulf of Mexico and created havoc throughout the south. We were fortunate--and blessed--at our house, because the creek didn't rise and my wooden house … [Read more...]

A Chance to Win an Early Copy

October 4, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

I hoped I would be the first to post that picture of me "nabbing" Karen during the Faith, Hope & Love Christian Writers conference, but our posting days being what they are, she got to share before I could. Like Karen, I had a wonderful time in Phoenix, and while I have quite a few photos from the weekend, that one will remain my favorite. We laughed so hard. There is something about being … [Read more...]

Faith, Hope, & Love (and a giveaway)

October 3, 2024 By Karen Witemeyer

This past weekend proved to be a wonderful time of fellowship, learning, and mental and spiritual renewal. Writers need to get out of their offices every now and again, and a writer's conference is a great excuse to do so. Nearly 100 of us gathered in Phoenix for the Faith, Hope, and Love Christian Writers Conference. The picture above was taken on the first night when our very own Dani Pettrey … [Read more...]
