Cover Reveal for Sweet on You

October 19, 2018 By Becky Wade

I'm so excited to reveal the cover of my final Bradford Sisters novel! Britt Bradford, the youngest Bradford daughter, is Sweet on You's heroine.  Britt's very good friend, Zander Ford, is the novel's hero.  Those of you who've read my Porter family series may remember that I've written one other friends-fall-in-love romance.  In A Love Like Ours, Lyndie James is reunited with her childhood … [Read more...]

Cover Reveal, a Giant Giveaway, and Witemeyer Bargains

October 18, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

Seeing a new cover for the first time is one of the biggest thrills an author can have. Or one of the biggest disappointments. Thankfully, I have never had a truly awful cover. There have been one or two I wasn't particularly ready to do handstands over, but for the most part, I've loved the covers Bethany House has created for my books. And the latest is one of my favorites. My heroine is a … [Read more...]

Fall Flavors

October 17, 2018 By D'Ann Mateer

I love October. The pumpkins are out. Football season is in full swing. The air is finally cooling off here in Texas, so I can think about chili and soups. One of my local coffee shops has busted out a maple pecan latte (which is fabulous!), and Trader Joe’s is a flurry of fall flavors. Since we’ve been in Austin, we’ve always had a Trader Joe’s grocery store nearby. In fact, from the front door … [Read more...]

Balancing Act

October 15, 2018 By Lynn Austin

I haven’t always done well in the balancing act between work and play. I’ve learned over the years that when I work too hard, my creativity shrivels up and the work I love becomes a chore. When I play too much when I should discipline myself to work, I end up at my computer bleary-eyed, late into night. Neither option is a good one. When my children were small, the words of Psalm 90 inspired me to … [Read more...]

Delayed Justice Arrives Next Week & Giveaway!

October 11, 2018 By Cara Putman

Any time a book baby launches, I get nervous. Not a little bit. A lot. There's a huge part of my heart and soul that goes into the books I write. The characters become real to me -- and that means I cry with them and laugh with them. I feel what they feel so that hopefully you will feel it, too. Delayed Justice, releases next week so that means I'm getting all the nerves. Will people like my … [Read more...]

The C’s of Creativity – Part 2 Comfort

October 10, 2018 By Dani Pettrey

  Hi Friends, I’m so happy to be back with you this week. Today I’m sharing another C of Creativity—this week that C is comfort. Yep, comfort. For me, as a writer and a reader, I like to have certain things around me while I write. Rather like Maya Angelou needed to have a deck of cards, legal pads, and the Bible with her (among other things) or James Joyce needed crayons, a white coat … [Read more...]
