Would you want a do-over?

November 21, 2025 By Robin Lee Hatcher

I love a novel that leaves me “book drunk.” You know what I mean. You are sort of staggered by it, and you can’t immediately start reading another novel because the other one won’t leave you alone yet. Those don’t come along very often, but I sure love it when they do. Then there is the novel that has the reader thinking about herself even more than about the characters.

Fall Fun & Goodies for You

November 20, 2025 By Karen Witemeyer

We don't get to see many fall colors in West Texas, where I live. So when my hubby and I traveled to Missouri at the start of this month, we soaked in as many fall colors as we could.

Book Covers Come Alive

October 16, 2025 By Karen Witemeyer

A few months ago, I was scrolling through Facebook and found a book cover that moved. It felt like one of those Harry Potter newspapers where the images come to life. I thought it was super fun and decided I'd try my hand at making one. At the time, my newest book was To Love a Beast, so I started with that one. I was really pleased with the bookish turn of page, even if she turned pages on … [Read more...]
