Are you a series reader?

September 18, 2018 By Tamera Alexander

Who among us is attending the 2018 American Christian Fiction Writers conference here in Nashville this weekend?

A Labor of Love and Friendship

August 6, 2018 By Lynn Austin

I had no idea! When I asked my dear friend, Jacki Kleinheksel, to record the audio version of my novel, Fly Away, I had no idea how much work would go into making it.

It’s Release Week!!!

June 7, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

It's finally here! More Than Meets the Eye released on Tuesday. I always find the release of a new book exciting and slightly terrifying. What will readers think? Will they love it, or will it be a disappointment? This one was especially nerve-wracking since it is the first in a new series. More Than Meets the Eye is filled with secrets, flawed characters fighting for a fresh start, a hero bent … [Read more...]
