So many books, so little time

March 4, 2024 By Angela Hunt

When I turned fifty, I realized--with a start--that I would not live forever. That I probably had more time "behind" me than in front of me. I began to look at the books I write in a new way--considering that I have a limited amount of time in which to write, the books I choose to write should matter. REALLY matter. Of course, the Spirit can and does use anything, but I asked Him to guide me so … [Read more...]

Book Club Reads

March 1, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Do you belong to a book club? I’ve found that a book club expands my reading a lot simply because I’m not always reading my own choice. I'm not always reaching for my favorite genres or authors. Years ago (circa 2007-2008) I participated in a book club. I don’t remember for how long the club lasted or how many books we read. But I do remember two of the selections: The Kite Runner by Khaled … [Read more...]

How I Write With Chronic Illness

February 28, 2024 By Dani Pettrey

Writing my latest release, One Wrong Move was so much fun, yet it wasn’t easy. I have Lupus, and while it’s under treatment and doing well in a lot of areas for which I’m very thankful, chronic pain comes with it. And motor skills are not what they should be. I have trouble with my hands in particular. Both of which make writing interesting.  Long hours of sitting and either typing or writing … [Read more...]

Well, We Did It!

February 26, 2024 By Deborah Raney

Well, we did it! It was a L-O-N-G journey figuring out what should come next after we sold our Chinook camper last summer, and as often seems to happen in our marriage, I went kicking and screaming all the way. But we flew to Florida two weeks ago and just like that, we have an RV again! (Is anybody surprised? ) I took a cold shower the first morning because we couldn't figure out the hot … [Read more...]

Q&A With My Male Narrator

February 23, 2024 By Becky Wade

The audiobooks of both Memory Lane and Rocky Road (which released last week!!!) have two narrators. A female narrator reading the scenes I wrote from my female characters point of view. And a male narrator reading the scenes I wrote from my male characters point of view. Ryan Hudson was my male narrator for both novels and that was extremely fortunate for me because I'M A HUGE FAN of his. I was so … [Read more...]

A Gift for You: Fun Bookmarks

February 22, 2024 By Cara Putman

Today I thought I would do something different as I race toward a book deadline on Monday. I thought you'd enjoy downloading and using these. One can never have enough bookmarks right? So I had fun creating these for you. You can copy and paste these into a Word document and print them to use in your next book as a reminder of all the reasons you love reading good books. If you were to create … [Read more...]
